Amber Heard got emotional on the stand as she recalled Johnny Depp ‘performing a cavity search’ on her.
Depp launched a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard in 2019, after the Aquaman star described herself as a victim of domestic abuse in a 2018 article she penned in The Washington Post. Heard never mentioned Depp by name but the actor argued that the article she wrote tarnished his reputation and ultimately his acting career.
Heard took the stand for the first time on 4 May, day 14 of the defamation trial.
She told the courtroom that they were having a party in a ‘trailer park with some friends and had taken MDMA together.’
She said one of the women they were with ‘leaned into her’ and that Depp reacted in a jealous way.
Heard said when she came back into their trailer:
‘It became clear he was looking for something,’
She continued, explaining Depp asked:
‘Where are you hiding it?’
Heard alleged that the actor ‘pat her down’ as he was looking for cocaine. She continued:
‘He rips my dress … he’s grabbing my breasts, he’s touching my thighs, he rips my underwear off.’
‘It made no sense and he was telling me we’re going to conduct a cavity search, he just shoved his fingers inside me,’
‘I just stood there staring at the stupid light, I didn’t know what to do… while he did that.’

Depp did not make eye contact with the actress as she was retelling her account of what allegedly happened.
