In a serious look, Johnny Depp’s ex-wife, Amber Heard, sits in the courtroom and listens to what her former assistant, Kate James, has to say about her then-boss. There is talk of assault and verbal abuse.
When her former assistant, Kate James, unpacks nasty stories about the actress in court, she turns and smiles. But what the former Heard employee has to say is anything but funny.
The process Heard against Depp or vice versa, because the couple sued each other for defamation, only started last Monday and yet many frightening details have come to light. Now Amber Heard’s former personal assistant has revealed shocking details about the 35-year-old with her testimony to the jury.
Kate James: Constantly yelled at
In a video statement, Kate James tells the court what terrible conditions she had to work in. When James asked for a raise, Heard reportedly jumped out of her chair and stopped and screamed four inches from James’ face. She also spat in the employee’s face.
When asked how Johnny Depp’s ex-wife otherwise treated her, James replied that she was constantly yelled at. Whether on the phone or in person. Strange text messages were also mentioned on the tape. Often incoherent, day and night, at other times James just served as a buffer for the actress’ other aggressions. Heard is said to have been drunk frequently and the assistant does not rule out the consumption of other substances.
Amber Heard is also said to have mistreated her mother
The assistant also has chilling details to share about Amber Heard’s family relationships. Heard “metaphorically kicked her poor sister Whitney like a dog” and the actress’ mother, Paige Parsons, who died in 2020, is said to have “been afraid of her daughter”, according to James. There should even be video evidence of this statement by the woman who died at the age of 64.
Unlike the couple’s former marriage counselor, who also testified at the trial, Kate James said she never found Amber Heard to have a physical injury in the form of a bruise. In addition, she never took notice that there had been physical altercations between the Hollywood couple.
