Depp is suing Heard for $50 millionover her 2018Washington Postop-edchronicling her experiences as a domestic violence survivor.
Depp has denied such allegations and accused Heard of abusing him.
Here are six key moments from Heard’s second day of testimony.

Heard said she recorded such moments because Depp would not remember volatile moments while he was under the influence.
“He wouldn’t remember, or he would deny it,” she said.
“There was no one to back me up.

So I started to take pictures to say, ‘Look, this is happening.'”
“I felt this boot in my back,” she recalled.
“I fell to the floor.
No one said anything.
No one did anything.
You could have heard a pin drop.
I just remember feeling so embarrassed.”
“He hated, hated James Franco,” Heard testified.
“I watched it,” she said.
“One of the security guards carried Johnny like a baby into the house.”
“And finally, he felt like changing for good.
“He got so angry at me.
He slapped me across the face, but he did it while crying,” Heard said.
“It was the weirdest thing.
He was crying [and] saying no woman had ever embarrassed him like that.
No woman had ever made him feel like that.
I heard that through the rest of the trip, on repeat.
I still feel bad.”
“I wasn’t going to play a sexualized character.
I wore minimal makeup.”
“What he said to me was I didn’t tell him.
I didn’t ask him.
I ended up not doing that audition.”
Heard added, “He said, ‘I’m trying to look out for you.
You’re saying you don’t want to be objectified but you’re doing it.’
It got more narrow and more narrow about what I could do.”
She went on to say, “It was hard for me to work, justify working.
Every audition, every meeting, every script I got was a negotiation or a fight.
I’ve always been really independent, and I never imagined not working.
I’ve worked from the earliest time I can imagine.
I come from parents who worked until they literally couldn’t anymore.
I never imagined myself having to explain my job or justify my job, but I did.”
“I would yell at him, scream at him, call him ugly names,” she recalled.
“It was awful.
We both got into that pattern.
I was so angry this was happening to me.
It felt so unfair.
I tried, [for] over a year, maybe two, not responding.
I would threaten to call police.
I threatened to leave him.
I tried to leave him.
By this point we were both saying awful things to each other.”
“I remember he threw a bottle at me, missed me, [and] hit the chandelier.
At some point he just whacked me in the face.
I was unsure what that feeling was, but I suspected I had a broken nose.
I remember my nose being swollen and discolored.”
“It [was] so easy for him to throw me around,” Heard said.
She said of the aftermath, “I remember being in the bathroom.
I remember I couldn’t control my bladder.
I remember there was some blood on the floor.”
“Things to the effect of ‘go-getter,’ ‘whore.’
Calling me easy, calling me a slut,” she said of the messages.
“I just instantly think of Kate Moss and the stairs, and I swung at him.
In all my relationships to date, I hadn’t [delivered] a blow.
For the first time, I hit him square in the face.”
“It was fresh in my mind,” she said at the time.
A representative for Moss didn’t immediately respond to EW’s request for comment Thursday.
