Actor Amber Heard is expected to take the stand in her own defense Wednesday in a civil suit filed by her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.

Heard's anticipated testimony comes after a psychologist hired by her lawyers testified that Heard suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder from multiple acts of abuse, including sexual violence, inflicted on her by Depp.

Depp is suing Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court after she wrote a December 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” The article never mentions Depp by name, but Depp’s lawyers say he was defamed nevertheless because it clearly referred to accusations she made in 2016 during their divorce proceedings.

Depp spent four days on the stand earlier in the trial, testifying he never struck Heard and that he was the abuse victim. He said he was punched and struck by her on many occasions, and that she threw things at him. He described Heard as having a “need for conflict.” Psychologist Dawn Hughes, in her testimony Tuesday, acknowledged that Heard at times perpetrated physical violence against Depp, but said it paled in comparison to violence she suffered, which left her intimidated and fearful for her safety.

The trial, now in its fourth week, continues to capture public attention. More than 100 people were lined up Wednesday before 7 a.m. — the proceedings don't begin until 10 a.m. — outside the courthouse for the 100 seats made available in the courtroom. Most are Depp supporters and fans.Actor Amber Heard in the courtroom at the Fairfax County Circuit Court in Fairfax, Va., Tuesday May 3, 2022.

Amber Heard is using movie scenes. She quoted a whole paragraph of The Fabulous Mr. Ripley under oath as if it were her own thoughts. Is that allowed?

Amber appeared unfazed,comfortable and a bit delighted to be center of attention. I believe only a fool would dare touch this woman. If a man did, he should fear for his life. Amber is a Texan. Texans' reputation is 'be tough and take no guff'. Amber is no shrinking violet.

Classical coaching of abuse, say it started w/love, he changed, he's jealous, he hit, but made up for it with gifts and a holiday period, rough sex, cry a lot. She said small things don't bother either, psych's and friends say the opposite. Slapped3x times and did nothing. Right.

if you’ve ever been threatened by someone with BL personality disorder, they can stalk you for years. Gender is not the issue. They are master manipulators. No conscience. Not her first rodeo. justiceforjonnydepp

Sadly, Amber Heard can't seem to differentiate between the truth and reality. She has written a narrative and rehearsed it for years. It seems clear that she believes her own version of events - regardless of if they are based in fact or not.

The 💩 gonna talk

What I find funny is that she claimed she was scared of him but had no problem recording a drunken encounter and laughing about it
