Camille Vasquez Power: Johnny Depp’s Lawyer Made Amber Heard Admit THIS About Op-Ed
Amber Heard just admitted that the op-ed she wrote was about Johnny Depp, thanks to Camille Vasquez's cross-examination power.
The closing arguments are yet to happen, but Depp's powerful attorney ended it during the cross-examination on Thursday by making Heard admit that the op-ed was about the actor.
On Thursday, the "Aquaman" actress took the stand and underwent another tough cross-examination by Depp's team led by Vasquez.
In the now-viral clips on social media sites, Heard told the court that she wrote the op-ed for The Washington Post to see and prove that many people would support Depp despite her allegations.
"I know how many people will come out and say whatever for him. That's his power. That's why I wrote the op-ed. I was speaking to that phenomenon, (about) how many people will come out in support of him and will fall to his power. He is a very powerful man and people love currying favor with powerful men," she continuously explained, seemingly missing that she had just confessed the malice she had while writing the piece.
As Vasquez did it again, fans rejoiced as Heard's admission would now play a huge part in the defamation trial.
Did Amber Heard's Confession Secure Johnny Depp's Win?
Depp launched his defamation lawsuit as he says that Heard ruined him and his career through the 2018 op-ed.
As the actress finally admitted that the op-ed was about Depp, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor and his team now need to do one thing to win the case: prove that Heard knew what she was writing was not true or acted while disregarding the truth.
Attorney Mitra Ahouraian, a lawyer who is not directly related to the case, told The Independent that the actor's party should show that she behaved with actual malice to make the court's ruling in favor of him.
"She would have to establish that he knows those things that he put in the complaint are not true, or he doesn't care if they're true or not, he just wants to make her look bad. She has to show that malicious intent, which is difficult to do, but she has a greater chance of winning if she can show that the statements she made were true," he said.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's defamation trial will have the closing arguments on Friday, May 27.
