Kate Moss, a British model, testified in the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial, denying that the actor threw her down a flight of stairs while they were in a relationship in the 1990s. In his most recent virtual court appearance, Kate Moss testified against Amber Heard’s claims that Depp ‘kicked’ and ‘pushed’ her.
Kate was asked by Johnny Depp’s lawyer if she ever visited GoldenEye in Jamaica while dating Depp, and if anything happened there. Moss explained the situation by saying she wasn’t pushed but went down, injuring her back. Kate Moss said in the courtroom, “We were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before I did and there had been a rainstorm and as I left the room I slid down the stairs and I hurt my back. And I screamed because I didn’t know what had happened to me and I was in pain and he came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention.”
Moreover, Heard referenced Moss’ name on the stand earlier this month when recounting an alleged stairway altercation between Depp and Heard’s sister Whitney Henriquez in March 2015. Henriquez went “in the line of fire, and attempting to persuade Johnny to stop,” according to Heard, which recalled her of a rumoured stair fight between Moss and Depp. She then intervened to safeguard her younger sister.
Heard previously cited the Moss staircase accusation during her testimony in Depp’s defamation trial in the United Kingdom in 2020, according to The New York Post. Depp lost a libel action in the United Kingdom against the British newspaper The Sun for calling him a “wife-beater” in November 2020.
In previous evidence, Johnny said that he never hit his ex-wife and that she was the one who became violent. During their brief marriage, Amber claims she was subjected to physical and sexual violence at the hands of Johnny. They met on set of The Rum Diary in 2011 and married in February 2015. Two years later, their divorce was formalised.
