Johnny Depp’s team appeared to rejoice as Amber Heard attorney mentioned Kate Moss in court on Monday.
The 48-year-old model, who has a romantic history with Depp, is expected to testify via a video link on Wednesday.
During the 2020 libel lawsuit, Heard claimed that the Pirates of the Caribbean had pushed his ex down a staircase in the 1990s.
“[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,” she said.
“In all of my relationships to date with Johnny, I hadn’t landed a blow. And I, for the first time, hit him – like, actually hit him. Square in the face.”
“He didn’t push my sister down the stairs,” Heard added.
Meanwhile, Depp’s attorney Benjamin Chew was seen responding to the mention with a fist pump.
Moss isn’t on Depp’s witness list as insider claims that bringing the model in the court gives Depp a right to call “any witnesses identified”.
