A spokesperson for Johnny Depp has claimed his ex-wife Amber Heard gave the “performance of her life” in court amid their ongoing legal battle.
The former spouses, who were married from 2015 – 2017, are currently facing off in a Virginia courtroom in respective lawsuits.
Following Heard’s second day on the stand, in which she alleged Depp sexually assaulted her with a vodka bottle and kicked her in the back, the 36-year-old actress is due to be cross-examined by Depp’s lawyers.
Speaking after her shocking testimony on Thursday (May 5), a spokesman for the Pirates of the Caribbean star, 58, accused Heard of ‘delivering the performance of her life’.

They also insisted The Danish Girl star has added ‘new details’ to her recollections in court while alleging Depp’s have “remained exactly the same”.
The spokesman said: “As [his] counsel predicted in their opening statements last month, Ms Heard did indeed deliver ‘the performance of her life’ in her direct examination.
“While Ms Heard’s stories have continued to grow new and convenient details, Mr Depp’s recollections have remained exactly the same throughout the six painful years since her first allegations were made.

“His truth – the truth – is the same no matter the environment in which it has been presented.
“The upcoming cross-examination from Mr Depp’s team will be most telling and will highlight the many fallacies Ms Heard has now attempted to pass off as fact throughout her convoluted testimony.”
Depp is suing Heard for $50 million in damages.
It comes in regards to an op-ed Heard published in The Washington Post in 2018 in which she claimed to be a survivor of domestic abuse.

While not naming Depp in the article, lawyers for the Edward Scissorhands star have argued that the implication of Depp’s identity had a negative impact on his career.
Heard is countersuing her former husband for $100 million.
