On Thursday, “Aquaman” actor Amber Heard gave the closing argument in her multimillion-dollar defamation case against ex-husband Johnny Depp, telling jurors that she has received daily harassment and death threats since accusing the Hollywood star of abuse.

Depp, 58, sued Heard for $50 million in Virginia, claiming that she defamed him by referring to herself as “a public figure symbolizing domestic abuse.”

Heard, 36, has countersued for $100 million, alleging that Depp slandered her by referring to her allegations as a “hoax” by his lawyer.

Following each side’s closing arguments on Friday, the jury will hear the competing allegations.

Heard wrapped up her testimony on Thursday saying she has been “harassed, humiliated, threatened” on social media since accusing the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star of physical and sexual abuse.

“People want to kill me and they tell me so every day,” Heard said. “People want to put my baby in the microwave.” Heard adopted a baby girl in July 2021.

She said the harassment was part of Depp’s public humiliation strategy.

epp admitted to writing in a 2016 text that Heard was “begging for total global humiliation” and “she’s gonna get it.” He said it was written in anger when he learned she was alleging that he physically abused her.

“He wanted to ruin my career,” Heard told the jury. “The threats he made to humiliate me, globally, are being lived out in real time, in front of you … and the whole world.”Depp has denied hitting Heard or any woman and said she was the one who turned violent in their relationship. The pair met in 2011 while filming “The Rum Diary” and wed in February 2015. Their divorce was finalized about two years later.

“No human being is perfect,” Depp said on Wednesday. “But I have never in my life committed sexual battery, physical abuse.”

Jurors have heard detailed recordings of confrontations between the former couple, seen gruesome photographs of a bloody severed finger, and heard debates about faeces found in the couple’s bed throughout the six-week trial.

During a fight in 2015, Depp claimed Heard tossed a vodka bottle at him, cutting off the top of his finger. Heard denied hurting Depp’s finger and claimed that Depp sexually abused her with a liquor bottle later that night.

He also claimed that Heard or a buddy dropped faeces in the bed following a fight the next morning. The faeces, according to Heard, came from one of their dogs.

A December 2018 opinion piece by Heard in the Washington Post is at the heart of the legal matter. Although Depp’s name was not mentioned in the piece, his lawyer told jurors that it was apparent that Heard was referring to him.

Depp, once among Hollywood’s biggest stars, said Heard’s allegations cost him “everything.” A new “Pirates” movie was put on hold, and Depp was replaced in the “Fantastic Beasts” film franchise, a “Harry Potter” spinoff.

Heard’s lawyers have contended that she told the truth and that her viewpoint was allowed free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. According to them, Depp’s allegations caused her to lose job possibilities in Hollywood.

“Johnny has taken enough of my voice,” Heard told the jury. “I have the right to tell my story.”

Depp lost a libel case less than two years ago against the Sun, a British tabloid that labeled him a “wife beater.” A London High Court judge ruled that he had repeatedly assaulted Heard.

Depp’s lawyers filed the U.S. case in Fairfax County, Virginia, because the Washington Post is printed there. The newspaper is not a defendant.
