Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterJohnny Depp’s lawyer continued to cross-examine Amber Heard on Tuesday, accusing Heard of assaulting Depp and suggesting she was lying about her allegations of domestic violence.Attorney Camille Vasquez played audio recordings of arguments between the couple and read aloud love notes that Heard had written to Depp after the alleged incidents.“You weren’t scared of him at all, were you?” Vasquez asked at one point.“This is a man who tried to kill me,” Heard responded. “Of course it’s scary.
He’s also my husband.”Heard took the stand for the fourth day as she seeks to defend herself from Depp’s $50 million defamation suit. Depp’s team alleges that Heard has concocted false allegations of physical and sexual assault and is responsible for destroying his career.
Depp gave his own account of their relationship over the course of four days in April, and the outcome of the trial will hinge largely on which of the two the jury finds more credible. Heard’s side has presented therapy notes, photographs of Heard’s bruised face and video of Depp screaming and smashing cabinets as they seek to corroborate her detailed and often emotional testimony.In the most disturbing incident, Heard testified that Depp sexually assaulted her with a bottle during a vicious fight in Australia in March 2015.

Last month Depp testified that Heard’s domestic abuse allegations against him were “heinous” and “not based in any species of truth.”Depp was third on the list of potential witnesses for Monday’s proceedings. Last week saw a flurry of the former couple’s acquaintances testify, mostly via videotaped deposition that went by relatively quickly, so Depp’s appearance Monday seemed a good bet.Heard previously told the Fairfax, Virginia courtroom that she suffered cuts on her arm and feet from broken glass, and a bruised jaw from getting “clocked” by Depp after a violent fight in Australia.
Amber Heard is currently entrenched in a defamation lawsuit brought against her by her ex-husband Johnny Depp, but the actress is also still trudging muddy waters in Australia. The country's local authorities recently confirmed they're still investigating whether she allegedly committed perjury for illegally bringing her dogs into the country without declaring them for quarantine, and a legal expert is weighing in on what could've changed for Heard in the incident. The serious offense alleges the "Aquaman" star, 36, lied under oath "during court proceedings for the 2015 illegal importation of (her) two dogs into Australia," a spokesperson for Australia’s Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE) told Fox News Digital on Thursday. The department stipulates that foreign pets must be quarantined for 10 days when first brought into the country, and they reckon Heard knew of the stringent policy but allegedly disregarded it anyway by smuggling them into the land down under. ""The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (department) is investigating allegations of perjury by Ms Heard during court proceedings for the 2015 illegal importation of (her) two dogs into Australia," the spokesperson said, which was first reported by Newsweek.

In 2017, Heard, who recently made a claim about why her ex-husband won't look at her in the courtroom, filed for divorce and also obtained a temporary restraining order after accusing Depp of hitting her.The actress later withdrew her claim, and the former couple agreed to a $7million divorce settlement in January 2017.
