Amber Heard sparred with Johnny Depp‘s lawyer as cross-examination got underway on Monday afternoon. The 36-year-old actress seemed especially bothered when the topic of her $7 million divorce settlement was brought up, which was never donated in full to charity as promised. Heard was also grilled about not seeking medical treatment after Depp’s numerous alleged attacks.
Depp’s attorney, Camille Vasquez, kicked things off by asking Heard: “Mr. Depp hasn’t looked at you once this entire trial, has he?”
“Not that I’ve noticed, no,” the Aquaman star replied.
“You’ve looked at him though many times, haven’t you?” Vasquez said.
“Yes I have,” Heard responded.
“You know exactly why Mr. Depp won’t look back at you, don’t you?” Vasquez asked.

In July 2016, two months after Heard filed for a temporary restraining order, she arranged to meet with Depp in San Francisco. The pair’s former agent testified at trial it was because the actress wanted to get back together with Depp, something she denied earlier on Monday. (“I wanted to minimize the animosity, I wanted to reconcile in that way. I didn’t want to get back together with him.”)
An audio recording from the meeting was played to the jury in which Depp tells Heard from then on, “We wont have to see each other again. … You will not see my eyes again.”
Vasquez said to Heard, “He kept that promise, hasn’t he?”
“As far as I know, he cannot look at me,” Heard replied.
“He won’t look at you, right Ms. Heard?” Vasquez said.
The tension didn’t ease from there. Heard was shown photos from multiple events from 2014 to 2015 in which she appears uninjured, hours or days after alleged violent incidents with Depp.
After the 2014 Met Gala, Heard testified that Depp hit her so hard she thought he broke her nose. Heard didn’t seek medical treatment and went to Spike TV’s Don Rickles: One Night Only event the following night with Depp.
