When Amber Heard’s counsel mentioned Kate Moss in court on Monday, Johnny Depp’s team looked to cheer.

On Wednesday, the 48-year-old model, who has a love past with Depp, is due to testify via video connection.

Heard alleged in the 2020 libel action that the Pirates of the Caribbean shoved his ex down a stairway in the 1990s.

“[Whitney’s] back was to the staircase, and Johnny swings at her. I don’t hesitate, I don’t wait, I just, in my head, instantly think of Kate Moss and stairs,” she said.

“In all of my relationships to date with Johnny, I hadn’t landed a blow. And I, for the first time, hit him – like, actually hit him. Square in the face.”

“He didn’t push my sister down the stairs,” Heard added.

Meanwhile, Depp’s attorney Benjamin Chew was seen responding to the mention with a fist pump.

Moss isn’t on Depp’s witness list as insider claims that bringing the model in the court gives Depp a right to call “any witnesses identified”.
