Hollywood actress Amber Heard, who is currently fighting a libel lawsuit against her ex-husband, Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, has said that individuals threaten her and say that they ‘want to put my baby in the microwave’. During the continuous trial, Amber’s lawyer, Ben Rottenborn, asked her how she has suffered publicly because of the assertions.
In a video from the trial shared by Law and Crime Network on their YouTube channel, Amber told the jury,
“I am harassed, humiliated, threatened, every single day. Even just walking into this courtroom. Sitting here in front of the world, having the worst parts of my life, things that I have lived through, used to humiliate me. People want to kill me and they tell me so every day. People want to put my baby in the microwave, and they tell me that.”

She also added, “I live my life with these sets of rules I’ve to follow, my friends have to follow for me not to have a panic attack or a triggering event or I relive the trauma, even from training to do. In my movie, for instance, for training for Aquaman, a combat scene and a trigger happen. I have a meltdown and have to deal with that, the crew I work with have to deal with that, because of the damage I walk around with every single day. I am not sitting in this courtroom snickering. I’m not sitting in this courtroom laughing, smiling, or making snide jokes. I’m not. This is horrible.”
A jury is booked to hear the closing arguments on Friday in Johnny’s lawsuit against Amber. Each side will have two hours to sum up their case in a trial that has stretched on for six weeks.
