Actor Johnny Depp took the stand in his multimillion-dollar defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, who previously accused Depp of abusing her while they were married.

Depp, 58, alleges Heard, 35, defamed him when she penned a December 2018 opinion piece in the Washington Post about being a survivor of domestic abuse. He filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard in 2018. Depp previously lost a defamation case against The Sun tabloid over the same article penned by Heard.
