The actress was speaking and had taken the stand for the first time today in the defamation trial her ex-husband Depp brought against her. She had called it the 'most painful thing' she had ever gone through.
The actress said that in 2013 the actor had slapped her three times after she had laughed about one of his tattoos. She became visibly emotional as she described the first incident in which Johnny Depp had allegedly hit her.
“(It was) seemingly so stupid and insignificant, I will never forget it, it changed my life,” she said.

“He slapped me across the face, and I laughed because I didn’t know what else to do. I thought this must be a joke… I didn’t know what was going on.”
The Mirror reports Heard began her defence in her bitter defamation case today, telling the court: “This is horrible for me.” Asked how she felt about the case, Heard said: “I am here because my ex-husband is suing me for an op-ed that I wrote."
Her attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, asked what she felt about this. "I erm, I struggle to have the words," she said. "I struggle to find the words to describe how painful this is. This is horrible for me to sit here for weeks and relive everything."
She continued: "This is the most painful and difficult thing I’ve ever gone through for sure."
The actress said he was not a party in the UK trial for the case Depp filed against The Sun but was the key witness, as the trial was focused on her marriage.
“I sat on the stand, for four days, under mostly cross-examination. And, up until this point, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do.”
