Amber Heard claims that newly released text messages aired during her recent Dateline interview with host Savannah Guthrie are proof of her alleged physical abuse during her relationship with former spouse Johnny Depp.
She told Savannah Guthrie of NBC News that she had a lot of “proof” to disclose that would back up her claims that Depp was physically violent to her during their turbulent relationship.
Text messages purportedly sent by the Aquaman star to her father and therapist were among the files, which she disclosed for the first time.
In one text – dated 16 December 2015 – Heard claims to have texted her therapist saying: “Johnny did a number on me tonight. I’m safe and with my support tonight but I need some real help.”
“Can I come tomorrow? I called earlier because I thought I had a concussion and didn’t know if I should have called the police. But I have a nurse close to me,” the message concludes.
Another message – allegedly sent from Heard to her father in 2014 – describes a violent altercation on an airplane.
“I keep not fighting back. He literally kicked me and called me a [redacted] in front of everyone on the plane. It’s humiliating,” the text reads.
Along with the texts, Heard also unveiled notes that she claims to be from her therapy sessions. “There’s a binder worth of years of notes dating back to 2011 from the very beginning of my relationship that was taken by my doctor to who I was reporting the abuse,” she told Guthrie.
Depp allegedly battered his then-wife, including an explicit reference to a time when he “hit her, threw her on the floor,” according to the therapist’s notes.
The binder of treatment notes was disregarded as “hearsay” by Judge Penney Azcarate, who presided over Depp and Heard’s court case last month. Heard’s lawyers were barred from introducing it as evidence.
