Viewers who want to watch live testimony of the ongoing $50 million lawsuit brought against actress Amber Heard by ex-husband Johnny Depp can do so by tuning into either the Law & Crime Network and Court TV via both their YouTube channels and websites.
The high-profile case can also be seen live on the U.K.-based Independent TV, on Sky News through its YouTube channel, and is also being streamed online by numerous news outlets, with many providing live updates.
The ex-Pirates of the Caribbean star is suing Heard, 36, for defamation following a 2018 article she wrote in the Washington Post in which the Aquaman actress described herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse." While Heard didn't specifically name Depp in the piece, the actor said he was dropped from his role in Disney's Pirates franchise days after the article was published and claims it caused irreparable damage to his career. He is suing for $50 million in damages.
The former couple was married from 2015 to 2017. Both accused the other of being physically violent during their relationship, but each deny the other's claims. Heard is counter-suing Depp, 58, for $100 million.
The trial, which runs Monday through Thursday in Fairfax, Va., is expected to last approximately six weeks, except for a pause from May 9-12 due to a previously scheduled engagement that Judge Penney Azcarate has.
The headline-generating trial already includes brutal audio recordings of arguments between the two to violent text messages sent to Heard by Depp. At one point last week, after Depp testified about an incident where he described "human fecal matter" being left in the couple's marital bed by Heard, the hashtags #mepoo and #amberturd trended on social media site Twitter.
Earlier this week, jurors listened to clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry testify that Heard showed signs of histrionic personality disorder.
On Wednesday, jurors heard from Christian Carino, a talent agent for Creative Artists Agency (CAA) who previously represented both Heard and Depp. Through taped testimony, Carino said Heard's accusations impacted Depp's reputation but said he didn't think Depp's lawsuit brought against Heard had a negative impact on the actor's career or reputation.
Prior to Carino's testimony, Alejandro Romero, the front desk employee who worked at Depp's downtown LA penthouse testified. Jurors also heard testimony from LAPD officer William Gatlin who responded to a domestic violence incident at the penthouse in May of 2016.
On Wednesday, a more light-hearted mood entered the courtroom during Romero's remote testimony. He delivered it from inside a vehicle and admitted to not wanting to review paperwork outlining a timeline of events related to the weekend in May 2016 that brought Gatlin to the penthouse.
Romero was also seen blowing smoke from his nostrils during the discourse.
"I'm going to be honest; I didn't want to review them because it's been so long," Romero said. "I just don't want to deal with this anymore." In general, his casual nature and frank responses drew chuckles from Depp as he watched the screen from his seat.
Even Azcarate appeared somewhat amused, if not partly baffled as court broke for lunch and Romero could be seen driving away on the testimony video.
"That was a first," she said.
