I mean, I hit my head hard,» she claimed. «He had me by the neck. Squeezing my neck.
It got really nasty. He started to tell me that everyone had warned him about me, and wished he had never married me. He wished he had never met me, no one liked me.
I shoved him hard to get him off me. He shoved me back and he said, 'Do you want to go, little girl?' At some point I’m in a struggle with him, holding his shirt, and he just flings me, throws me across the room, and I'm on a ping-pong table. He gets on top of me.
Johnny Depp returned to the witness stand in his $50 million defamation trial against Amber Heard in an effort to rebut his ex-wife’s claims of domestic abuse.
Amber Heard allegedly has Jason Momoa to thank for keeping her role in, according to industry expert Kathryn Arnold.Arnold testified in court on Monday during day 20 of Johnny Depp's lawsuit against his ex-wife, where she claimed that Heard's role had been diminished in the second movie, and testified that this usually wouldn't be the case if an actress was a success in the first film. Heard was paid $1 million for the first film, and was set to be paid $2 million for the second. However, after Depp's lawyer, Adam Waldman, called Heard's claims of abuse a «hoax,» Arnold claims that Heard suffered significant career damage.Arnold further claims that Heard's salary for the second movie could have been higher if not for the statements made by Waldman, and she has not been involved in the promotion for the new film — which ultimately hurts her career as well.Arnold claims that Momoa was able to renegotiate his salary for the second film to $15 million, up from $3 million which he got for the first, but Heard never got a similar opportunity for that sort of financial bump.
