After a hearing in London last week, the judge ordered that the audiotapes where Amber Heard confesses to serially abusing Johnny Depp will be allowed in Depp's libel action against the Sun newspaper. David Sherborne, representing Depp, said the evidence “demonstrates in her own voice that she was not a victim of domestic abuse, but rather that she was the aggressor”.

He added that, in the recordings, Heard is apparently heard to say that no one would believe Depp if he claimed to be a victim of domestic violence.

However, the texts between Johnny Depp and (friend and actor) Paul Bettany are out. 

Also, it is revealed that actress Amanda de Cadenet, a friend of Heard, will give evidence over a video link. It is unclear at this point as to what testimony she will give, whether it will benefit Heard or Depp. 

As has already been reported, Amber Heard plans to appear to testify. Remember, this is the case against the Sun, not Johnny's defamation case against her. She doesn't have to show up for this, but she plans to appear anyway. We have yet to see what she plans to bring to the table and what she expects to gain.

We'll find out in just a couple of weeks, when the suit against the Sun proceeds.
