Heard countersued Depp for $100 million for defamation, citing comments his lawyers made about her domestic violence allegations. During a staggering six weeks of testimony, Heard alleged that Depp kicked her in the back during a May 2014 flight from Boston to Los Angeles, owing to his suspicions that she was “secretly having a thing” with Franco. “He hated James Franco,” she explained while on the stand.
