Johnny Depp's Lawyer Questions Amber Heard For Smiling And Rolling Her Eyes

Amber Heard is being grilled by Johnny Depp's legal team and she was asked by his lawyer why she smiled and rolled her eyes in the August 2016 deposition video that was played to the court on Tuesday.

Jurors at the $50 million trial in Fairfax, Virginia, saw footage of Heard being questioned about allegedly hitting her former husband. She could be seen apparently smiling and rolling her eyes during the deposition.

As the clip played in the court, Heard is seen listening to an audio recording of a conversation she'd had with Depp, in which they discuss an alleged altercation, with Depp repeatedly claiming his wife punched him.

Heard apparently denies punching him, arguing that the actor had slammed the bathroom door on her toes and she merely pushed back the door that struck him in the head. 

She is heard repeatedly apologizing to her then-husband.

As Heard is seen in the video listening to the recording, she is seen eating a snack, looking around the room, and shaking her head.

At one point, she appears to smile and roll her eyes. She also starts talking to another person in the room as voices are heard in the background of the video.

During cross-examination which continued after the clip was played on Tuesday, Depp's lawyer, Camille Vasquez, questioned Heard about the deposition and asked her if she thought there was "something amusing" about allegedly assaulting her ex-husband.

However, Heard tried to clear the given situation and responded by insisting that she was smiling because of the situation -  that is, the lawyers who were “snickering and laughing” in the room at the time of the videotaped deposition.

“You’re smiling as that audio recording is being played in that deposition, aren’t you?” Vasquez said, per The Independent.

Heard replied: “I’m not smiling because of the audio. I’m smiling because of what is happening around me. I was sitting opposite a whole table of lawyers that were snickering and laughing and rolling their eyes at me while I was talking.”

Depp's lawyer then asked the Aquaman actress if there was something “amusing” about her allegedly abusing her ex.

“Is there something amusing about kicking a door into your husband’s head?” she asked.

“No, I was rolling my eyes and commenting on what I was experiencing at that time in recounting the story,” Heard said.

Ms Vasquez continued: “Is there something amusing about punching your husband in the jaw?”

Heard stated: “That is not what I was smiling about and no I do not think that is amusing.”
