During the ongoing defamation trial between the former couple, a psychologist appointed by Johnny Depp's legal team informed the court Amber Heard had two personality problems.
Dr. Shannon Curry testified in the court on Tuesday (April 26) after visiting with Amber Heard on two distinct times to complete her exam - December 10 and 17, 2021.
Psychologist Claims Amber Heard Has PTSD
To form her evaluation, the psychologist told the court she spent 12 hours with Amber Heard and reviewed case documents, medical records, mental health treatments, and audio and video footage. Curry testified in court that the evaluation resulted in two diagnoses: borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder.
A personality is characterized by the features and characteristics that make up how we feel, think, and act, according to the doctor, whereas a personality disorder is a malfunction of those characteristics.
The doctor said Amber Heard externalizes responsibility and may be self-righteous, judgmental, and angry, which supports her diagnosis. She also stated that people with borderline personality disorder have a terrible fear of abandonment, which leads to excessive behavior in an attempt to keep a significant another close, according to LAD Bible.
She went on to say that handsome people may exploit their excellent looks to get attention and respect. Curry stated that there was evidence that Amber Heard was grossly exaggerating PTSD symptoms and that there was no indication that she was suffering from the disorder.
Amber Heard claimed to be suffering from 19 of the 20 key symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Curry said she was not board-certified and had never testified on domestic violence before during cross-examination by Heard's defense team.
Curry said she was interrogated by Johnny Depp's legal team at his home, that Johnny Depp was there at the time, and that she was provided food and beverages. Elaine Bredehoft, Heard's attorney, questioned Curry about her views and how they differed from those of a therapist who treated Heard.
Bredehoft also inquired about another doctor's opinion that Heard had been the victim of Depp's domestic abuse. Other physicians' papers, according to Curry, state that Heard reported Depp's aggression, as per Independent.
Other Testimonies During Johnny Depp-Amber Heard Trial
Late Tuesday, Depp's lawyer began interrogating LAPD Officer Melissa Saenz in the trial. Saenz said she saw or heard nothing at the LA penthouse in May 2016 that suggested a crime or incident of domestic abuse.
Saenz stated once more that she saw no signs of injuries on Heard or any damage to the penthouse property. Amber Heard did not ask Saenz to make a report that night, and Saenz stated she did not need to do so because she assessed that no crime had occurred, as per LAPD practice. If she discovers an incident of domestic abuse, she must file a report according to protocol.
During her testimony, Tara Roberts mentioned instances when Johnny Depp and Amber Heard visited their island home in the Bahamas. She stated Depp visited the island two or three times a year, and she was present throughout Depp's detox and Depp and Heard's 2015 wedding.
Roberts said she was given a planned itinerary for the rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony, which included food, dancing, drugs, and music, and that everyone was drinking during the wedding, except Depp, who was only drinking Dr. Pepper and sugar-free Red Bull at the time.
Roberts described an altercation between Depp and Heard during a vacation to the island in December 2015. Robert claimed that they heard shouting when they arrived at the residence. She said she overheard Heard telling Depp he was a washed-up actor who would die a lonely, obese old guy and then heard Depp respond, "you struck me with a can."
Then Depp and Heard, who was holding a bottle, descended the stairs. They were both surprised to see her, she remarked. Heard urged Depp to return inside after he walked outside.
Roberts stated Depp had a mark on the bridge of his nose at the cafe. She went to the cafe and purchased a bag of ice for him to put on it to minimize swelling, then she left Depp to sleep on the sofa. Robert started the next morning that she had not noticed any injuries on Heard. She reported the pair left after their guests had left in the afternoon. After a day of questioning, the court reconvened Tuesday morning with additional witness evidence.
Depp's estate manager, Tara Roberts, testified remotely from his Bahamas island on Tuesday. For almost 15 years, Roberts was the island's manager. She's shown in the courtroom via video connection, recounting Depp's encounters with Amber Heard on the island, Newsweek via MSN reported.
