escalating. nothing i did made him stop hitting me. nothing. so you know, i tried for over a year, maybe two, of just not responding physically, not responding verbally, just staring at him. i tried to freeze. i tried to go to a different place. i d just i would try then lashing out verbally. i would try to threaten that if he hit me again that i would call the police. heard and depp met in 2009. they were married from 2015 to 2016. she alleges in her testimony that he abused her before they wed. when johnny depp took the witness stand earlier in the trial, he denied ever striking a woman and testified that amber heard verbally and physically abused him. claiming that at one point she threw a bottle at him, it shattered and severed the tip of one of his fingers. now, heard will be back on the stand on may 16th after a scheduled break in the trial. thanks for watching, everyone.
