Depps team called Moss as a rebuttal witness in hisdefamation trialagainst his former wife,Amber Heard.
Ms. Moss, do you know Johnny Depp?
his attorney, Ben Chew, asked.
Yes, Moss replied with a slight smile.
She said that she and Depp had a romantic relationship from 1994 to 1998.
She responded in the affirmative.
What, if anything, happened?
Chew pressed: Did Mr. Depp push you, in any way, down the stairs?
No, Moss said.
Heards team did not cross-examine Moss.
What happened, Depp said, is what she said happened, referring to Moss.
Depp said he recalled telling Heard the story.
Depp was asked what he specifically told Heard about the stairs incident.
Very simply that we were in Jamaica; I had left our bungalow about three minutes prior to her.
And there were three little wooden stairs, and she slipped.
Her legs came up and she landed on her coccyx.
She was obviously physically in pain.
So I ran over to grab her to double-check she was alright.
Depp continued: Thats it.
The saga of Mosss involvement in Depp and Heards ever tawdry trial is a bit convoluted.
I dont hesitate, dont wait.
On May 17, Heard was asked on cross to explain her mention of Moss.
one of Depps lawyers pressed, in reference to the allegation.
Heard answered, Ive heard a rumor, big rumor, about that.
Mosss account of her time with Depp also provides a counternarrative to his behavior as a romantic partner.
Heard presented jurors with video-deposition testimony fromEllen Barkin, who went out with Depp briefly in the 1990s.
Barkin described Depp as an immensely jealous boyfriend who was frequently inebriated.
