According to a forensic psychologist who evaluated Amber Heard, the alleged abuse from Johnny Depp caused her to lose 25 pounds. Psychologist Dawn Hughes, an expert on domestic violence from New York, says Heard’s weight dropped from 130lbs to 105lbs.
Hughes describes how Heard was taking ‘significantly more medication’ and had more panic attacks and angry outbursts and calls Depp’s abuse of substances and violence a “very, very disastrous mixture.”
If you are an addict, there is a lot of lying and blame for your inability to stay clean and sober, she says.
Amber Heard also said that she thought it was a joke when actor Johnny Depp reportedly slapped her for the first time when she asked about one of his tattoos. In the wake of the allegations, amber heard’s breathing difficulties testimony highlighted the emotional and physical toll the relationship had on her. She described moments of panic and fear that arose from the intense situations she found herself in. These experiences have led her to advocate for survivors of domestic abuse, urging others to find their voices.
However, it is clear that the version of events given by Heard differs dramatically from that of her ex-husband. During Depp’s testimony, he was asked about the ‘tattoo incident’ – which he called a “factual error”.
“I’ve never struck Ms. Heard. I have never struck a woman in my life. I’m certainly not going to strike a woman if she decides to make fun of a tattoo that I have on my body,” he said, adding: “That allegation never made any sense to me whatsoever.”
