Over the past couple of days, viewers have watched Johnny Depp’s turn to tell his side of the story. Depp divulged details about everything from his abusive childhood and his drug abuse past to how Depp and Amber Heard met, per The Independent. Things only got darker when he began to broach the topic everyone was here for, and discussed in great detail some of the instances of abuse that took place during the course of their relationship.
The court then got the chance to hear some audio recording clips that the couple had recorded during some of their fights. As the first clip began, you could hear Depp implying that they were recording for accountability so that Heard could not deny having said what she said, per YouTube. The most jarring portion of the recordings seemingly revealed Heard confessing to physically harming Depp as she mockingly snapped, “I didn’t punch you … I was hitting you, it was not punching you.” The actress added, “But you’re fine, I did not hurt you … you’re a f****** baby.”
The audio recordings revealed many angry outbursts that took place between the couple. As the trial continues to unfold, more and more information comes to light such as Depp’s cruel texts about Heard, making it nearly impossible to determine who is the victim here, although it seems to be both.
