British Supermodel Kate Moss, who had dated Johnny Depp in the past, testified in the ongoing defamation case between Johnny and Amber Heard on Wednesday.
Kate Moss took to the stand and denied Amber Heard’s previous claim that Johnny had pushed Kate Moss down the stairs when they were dating each other in the 90s.
Kate said that she slipped on a staircase and injured her back during a vacation the couple took in Jamaica. She also added that it was Johnny who helped her, carried her to her room, and called medical help.
"We were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before I did. As I left the room, I slid down the stairs and I hurt my back. I screamed because I didn’t know what had happened to me and I was in pain. He came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention. He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs," Kate testified via video conferencing.
Moss was not cross-examined by Amber’s lawyer.
Amber had brought up the Kate Moss reference when speaking about a fight with Johnny wherein her younger sister Whitney was trying to protect her.
"(Whitney's) back was to the staircase, and Johnny swings at her. I don't hesitate, I don't wait — I just, in my head, instantly think of Kate Moss and stairs. And I swung at him. In all of my relationship to date with Johnny, I hadn't landed a blow. And I, for the first time, hit him, square in the face. And he didn’t push my sister down the stairs," Amber had said.
Johnny Depp's legal team was joyous when Amber mentioned Kate Moss and the video had also gone viral.
Johnny Depp has sued Amber Heard for $50 million over an opinion piece she wrote in The Washington Post. In the opinion piece, she had claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. While she never mentioned Depp, the actor’s lawyers claim that it damaged his career and reputation.
