Friday 27 May 2022 05:04 PM Camille Vasquez calls Amber Heard a 'deeply, troubled person' during closing ... trends now

Johnny Depp's team delivered closing arguments Friday in the blockbuster defamation trial that has raged on for six weeks.

Depp's all-star attorney Camille Vasquez began by labeling Amber Heard an 'abuser'.  

'There is an abuser in this courtroom but it's not Mr. Depp. There's a victim of abuse in this court but it's not Miss Heard,' Vaquez said. 'Miss Heard is in fact the abuser and Mr. Depp is the abused.'

Vasquez noted expert accounts that diagnosed Heard with Borderline Personality Disorder and called the actress a 'deeply, troubled person' who is 'desperate for attention and approval.' 

It is six years ago to the day that Amber Heard filed a restraining order against Depp, which Vasquez said 'ruined' the actor's life.  

'On May 27th 2016 Miss Heard walked into a courthouse in Los Angeles, California to get a no notice ex parte restraining order against Mr. Depp and in doing so ruined his life by falsely telling the world she was a survivor of domestic violence against Mr. Depp.

'Today on May 27 2022, exactly six years later, we asked you to give Mr. Depp his life back by telling the world that Mr. Depp is not the abuser Miss Heard said he is and hold Miss Heard accountable for her lies.'

'What's at stake is this man's good name, what's at stake is a man's life that he lost when he was accused of heinous crimes and the life he could live when he's finally vindicated,' Vasquez said. 

'Six years ago today Miss Heard filed a false report of domestic violence against her husband of 15 months, Johnny Depp. It was a set up, she tipped off the paparazzi so they would be waiting.

'They knew where she would pause' and show off her bruise, Vasquez said.

She said: 'The photos capture what they wanted her to see - the image of a battered woman. The dark mark on her face appeared six days after seeing Mr. Depp. It was a lie, she knew it, Mr. Depp knew it and multiple witnesses who saw her that week knew it. The world only saw what she wanted them to see.'

The court was shown the cover of People Magazine that displayed Heard's bruised face.

'Two years later when promoting the biggest role of her career - until this trial - Miss Heard presented herself as a public figure representing domestic violence,' she said. 

Vasquez said Heard's allegations are 'wild over the top and implausible and you can't pick and choose which of these to believe and disregard. You believe all of it, or none of it.'

'Either she's a victim of truly horrific abuse or a woman who is willing to say absolutely anything. It is disturbing to think Miss Heard would make up the horrific tales of abuse she testified to in this courtroom.'

Abuse is a reality for 'far too many women but the overwhelming evidence and weight of that evidence shows it's not her story, it's not Miss Heard's story', Vasquez said.

She said: 'It was an act of profound cruelty, not just to Mr. Depp but to true survivors of domestic violence.

'It was false, it was defamatory and it caused irreparable harm.'

Before closing arguments began Judge Penney Azcarate told the jury that their names would be sealed for a year due to the 'high profile nature' of the trial.

At the start of the trial she made no such ruling.

Vasquez said 'most importantly you heard from Miss Heard herself' including multiple audio recordings where she admits to being physically violent to Depp.

The jury heard a recording of Heard telling Depp: 'I didn't
