Amber Heard says Depp tried to throw her sister down stairs Amber Heard dismissed accusations Tuesday that she fabricated allegations of domestic violence against her ex-husband Johnny Depp, testifying during his libel case against a British tabloidLONDON -- Amber Heard dismissed accusations Tuesday that she fabricated allegations of domestic violence against ex-husband Johnny Depp, and told a British court that the first time she struck him after years of abuse was to defend her sister from being thrown down the stairs. When asked whether she had punched Depp “with a closed fist,” Heard conceded she had struck him after he had hit both of them. The Hollywood star strongly denies abusing Heard, and claimed in court that she had been violent to him. In his testimony, Depp said he was the one being abused by Heard and that she had a history of being violent against him. Via audio recordings of the couple discussing various incidents played in court, Depp’s lawyer sought to show that Heard admitted she had been violent against Depp.
