In a shocking turn of events, bodycam footage has dropped from the night Aber Heard claims that Johnny Depp hurled a phone at her face and trashed the condo.
On the night of the blowout fight, a friend of Heard, who asked to remain anonymous had dialed 911, claiming that the actress was being ‘assaulted’ by her boyfriend.
“Hi, I need to report an assault right now happening at 849 Broadway at the Eastern building, it’s penthouse three,” the female caller says in the recording, referring to the luxurious home the former couple previously shared in downtown LA.
“I happen to know that it’s happening and I just need to remain anonymous,” she added.
“So what did she say that this guy assaulted her or hit her?” the LAPD operator replies, explaining she needs more detail.
“Physically assaulting her, yeah,” replies the caller ”Send somebody up there please,” the caller pleads, reiterating the location of the couple’s penthouse before the call abruptly ends.
Another 911 call was made by Heard’s friend iO Tillet Wright.
That means that two sets of officers responded to the scene. And both sets of officers have insisted from day one that they saw no evidence of violence, not on Heard’s face, and not in the condo.
Up until now, it’s been a matter of he say/she say, leaving judges, journalists, and the public to decide who to believe.
But now, the debate is over. In bodycam footage from the second set of officers, the condo is clearly seen as being tidy and undamaged. You can read the article from the Daily Mail HERE.
And you can see a clear version of the bodycam footage HERE.
Depp’s attorney Adam Wadman says the footage proves that there was never any wrecking spree and that Heard’s account of the evening cannot be believed.
“Amber Heard and her friends described a chaotic, messy crime scene but the newly released LAPD bodycam videos unambiguously show that the penthouse was utterly undamaged and that their testimony was one more grandiose lie,” Waldman told DailyMail.com in a statement.
Depp and Heard will square off in April, 2022 in a defamation suit that Depp filed against his ex-wife. It remains to be seen how this new footage will affect the proceedings, but it doesn’t look good for Heard.
It also remains to be seen if this new evidence will inspire perjury charges in previously offered court testimony in Depp’s recent libel suit against NGN and the Sun tabloid in the UK. That’s where Heard described the chaotic scene.
Heard is currently being investigated for perjury charges in Australia for testimony surrounding an incident in which Heard smuggled the couple’s dogs into Australia in violation of quarantine laws.
It’s possible that these mounting legal woes will affect Heard’s appearance in any upcoming projects, and could potentially land her jail time. Time will tell the extent to which this new evidence, and Depp’s impending slander suit will affect Amber Heard.
What do you think? Will Heard shrug this evidence off? Or is this the mic drop moment for Depp in his quest to vindicate himself?
