On April 11 of this year, the trial began in the case of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in the United States, specifically in Fairfax County in Virginia.
Over the course of seven days, those interested in the legal resolution as well as fans of Johnny Depp compiled some moments of the trial in which the actor used his sarcasm against J. Benjamin Rottenborn, the lawyer of his former partner, Amber Heard.
In various TikToks and other Twitter videos, phrases of Johnny Depp mocking “Mr. Rottenborn” have been spread, as Amber Heard's defense constantly alleges “hearsay”, that is, “hearsay” evidence or rumors.
Faced with this, the actor from films like Pirates of the Caribbean mentioned that “I was already learning” to assume that everything was “hearsay evidence”.
One word from these compilations has even generated memes on social media, as lawyer Rottenborn accused Johnny Depp of having served “a giant jug of red wine.” The actor's bewilderment at the time of the trial went viral and he replied that no, that he had poured a glass of this alcoholic beverage.
The constant interruptions of Amber Heard's lawyer to Johnny Depp have also given something to talk about, but given the insistence on issues that had already been touched upon at the trial, the actor chose to use sarcasm.
In the short video that was even musicalized with a “comical” sound, it can be seen that Johnny Depp describes as “unusual” the questions asked by the lawyer. “Paul Bettany is a good friend you got high with, isn't he?” , inquired Benjamin Rottenborn.
“It's a strange question,” the actor said.
On the other hand, Johnny Depp had the litigator repeat a joke that could be interpreted as double meaning, that is, with a sexual connotation. This is a text that the actor would have sent to his former partner, Amber Heard.
After a play on words and a change of shifts to read the evidence from electronic messages, Attorney Rottenborn said the following twice:
“I have other uses for your throat that don't include wounds.”
At the trial, Johnny Depp even mispronounced the surname Rottenborn and made fun of the dates, “October is two months away from December,” he repeated to his interlocutor. The actor has also judged that the lawyer tries to “respect court times” but it takes him more than 5 minutes to search for certain documents.
Latest news about the trial
The defamation trial facing Johnny Depp and Amber Heard counted at the beginning of its second week of oral arguments with the testimony of the actor's doctor, who confirmed that he located Depp's finger fragment between blood and broken glass.
The court in Fairfax, Virginia, where the litigation is taking place, projected a recorded statement in which the doctor, David Kipper, claimed that the location where the piece of finger that Depp lost in March 2015 appeared seemed like the scene after an intense fight.
The actor's lawyers had previously claimed that he lost part of his finger after Heard threw several glass bottles at him during a violent fight at the Australian residence where the couple lived while he was filming “Pirates of the Caribbean”
Since Amber Heard came out as a victim of domestic violence in an essay she published in The Washington Post, she hasn't stopped making headlines. Johnny Depp was directly related to the allegations due to the references that the actress made within her testimony. Faced with this situation, the protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean decided to file a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife.
