I remember I couldn’t control my bladder.

I remember there was some blood on the floor.”
Depp’s attorney asked in redirect.
“That is incorrect,” Heard said.
Depp’s attorney pressed.
“I didn’t assault Johnny in Australia,” Heard testified.

Heard testified that she and Depp planned to attend “separate parties.”
“I was not with Johnny,” Heard said.
“We just weren’t around each other that evening when we had kind of separate parties.”
In another, Heard says to Depp, “I didn’t punch you.
I was hitting you… you’re a f—ing baby.
You are such a baby.”
Heard testified that she was “trying my best not to show my pain” in the audio.

“He told me he didn’t enjoy being sober but people around him were concerned.”
“He could be mean and vicious when drunk or high,” Wright said.

Depp allegedly told Wright, “We’re married.
Now I can punch her in the face and nobody can do anything about it.”
(Heard denied the allegations in her own testimonyearlier this week.)
I remember her screaming.”
