New evidence submitted to the court shows a psychologist's note in which there is a list of Amber Heard's 'intimate relationships.' The list writes names of several men, including Johnny Depp, James Franco, and Elon Musk. Grinding the psychologist, Depp's lawyer cross-examines Dr. Hughes regarding the timeline of Heard's relationship with other men during her time together with Johnny Depp.
Amber Heard's List Of 'Intimate Partners' Submitted To The Court As Evidence
As the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial continues in the court, the private details of both the actors continue to make their way to the media and the public and it would be an understatement to say that some of these revelations have been nothing but shocking.
On Wednesday, the court was presented with a list of Amber Heard's intimate partners.
During cross-examination of clinical psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes, Johnny Depp's lawyers probed Heard's relationship with James Franco — and in doing so published the doctor's handwritten notes on her sexual past, as told to her in confidence by the actress.
Under the headline "Intimate partners", the doctor had written the names of all those people who had been in a relationship with Heard, starting with "Travis", whom Amber dated from 16 - 18, and whom she noted was a "good guy."
After him came "Eduardo, a 'Catholic Activist'", whom she dated from 18-19, but as the notes pointed out, there was "no sex".
Then came "fun loving" "Valentino", who lasted a year and a half, when Amber was 19-20, followed by a "causal" fling with "Mark" in Mexico.
After that came Amber's five-year same sex relationship with "Tasya" — Hawaiian-born painter and photographer Tasya Van Ree.
Then came the actor, Johnny Depp.
However, while doing cross-examination, Depp's lawyer was more interested in the right side of the list as it contained the name initials J.F. — which the doctor confirmed referred to James Franco — and Elon, as in Musk.
Depp's lawyer asked the doctor how intimate these relationships were, as they were under the list of 'intimate partners,' but Dr. Hughes pointed out the line on the paper that separated them, insisting it was a "different part of the document."
"JF — got close — but really wanted to be with Johnny," Depp's lawyer read, skipping the part — as Dr. Hughes pointed out — that stated Heard and Franco were "friends".
"She wasn't telling me this was an intimate relationship," Dr Hughes clarified. "I queried as to what's going on with James Franco, because that was something that was raised in this case."
The noted date of December 2015 is "when they became more friends... more friendly," Dr Hughes explained, confirming under questioning that Heard was still married to Depp at the time.
As the note details, the next entry in the list of Heard's timeline was "Elon" in May of 2016, whom she met at the Met Gala.
The doctor's notes also state "I was heartbroken / my soul was dead / felt nothing then". The relationship lasted until March 2018, it said.
Depp's lawyer then asked Dr. Hughes if Heard began dating Musk after leaving Depp? The doctor confirmed they began dating after Amber filed a temporary restraining order against her husband.
The defamation trial is currently in its fourth week and is expected to last 2 or 3 weeks more. Dr Hughes is the first witness to testify for Amber Heard in the trial.
Depp has sued Heard for $50 million in damages for the op-ed the actress wrote in 2018 that told the world that she is the victim of domestic violence. Even though the article did not mention Depp's name but given the circumstances, it was obvious that it was directed towards Johnny Depp. Heard has countersued Depp for $100 million.
