New "set of lies" and "not visible injures" from 12th day about the Thanksgiving 2015, Bahamas, The James Corden's Show with makeup artist Ms. Inglessis, the Tokyo's premiere, their Honeymoon on the Orent Express.
Cross examination with Ms Eleanor Laws. Videolink with Joshua Drew.
(Love that picture of Marilyn Manson. With that look says everything)
Amber Heard was today accused of 'making up' claims Johnny Depp was violent after being shown a video of the couple partying happily with friends including Marilyn Manson on the night the actress claims her ex-husband threw her across the room and 'busted' her lip.
When asked by Eleanor Laws, Mr Depp's QC, to explain the footage, which showed no violence taking place, Heard replied: 'Our fights never happened in front of the family. They typically happened after everyone had gone to bed.'
Ms Laws alleged that Heard was lying about the entire incident and said: 'You are making up this up as you go along'.
Ms Laws: ‘This is a happy family event we saw on that second video, a Thanksgiving dinner for family and friends. There was no violence that day or anything at any stage was there?
Heard: ‘That’s not true. The two are unrelated.’
Ms Laws pointed out that the video is time stamped after midnight, adding: ‘In your account Mr Depp had already been violent to you.’
Heard: ‘Yes, we had an altercation on the top of the stairs.’
Ms Heard said their fights never happened in front of the whole family, and typically took place behind closed doors when everyone had gone home or to bed.
Ms Laws then asked Ms Heard about what she has called "the monster" - Johnny Depp's "alter ego" - which was referred to in the Thanksgiving 2015 video.
The barrister said: "That's just a joke, isn't it?"
She added: "Those words, 'monster' and 'savage', are all part of the vocabulary that you and your friends would use, aren't they?"
Ms Heard: "No ... it's coming from Johnny's friend in the transcript."
Ms Laws: "In a joke, isn't it?"
Ms Heard: "Are you asking me if Marilyn Manson is joking?"She then said it "makes me wonder if he (Mr Manson) was writing the apology texts".
Ms Laws, on the video, "we have Mr Manson saying 'he's a monster, monster, he's scaring me"', adding: "These are the sorts of words that you and your friends would use in jest."
Ms Heard: "No, it was with Johnny and his friends."

Earlier, Eleanor Laws QC had turned to an alleged incident of domestic violence in Los Angeles in December 2015, which Amber Heard has described in her first witness statement as 'one of the worst and most violent nights of our relationship'.
The actress became visibly upset as Ms Laws read through passages of her witness statement detailing the alleged abuse.
Ms Laws: 'That's just a complete set of lies, isn't it?'
Ms Heard: 'No.'
Ms Laws then referred to medical notes made by a nurse, Erin Boerum, who saw Ms Heard shortly after the alleged incident in Los Angeles, who recorded that Ms Heard was 'actively bleeding on her lip'.
The nurse also said she 'briefly looked at the client's scalp but was unable to visualise haematomas the client described'.
Ms Laws: 'You didn't have any bruises at all when you saw Erin Boerum, did you?'
Ms Heard: 'I had bruised ribs, bruises all over my body, bruises on my forearms from trying to defend the blows. I had two black eyes, I had a broken nose, I had a broken lip... the really bad ones (bruises) were in my hairline, on my scalp.'- 'There was chunks of hair missing, there was pus in those wounds in my hair line, dark red bruises... purple-red on my temples and on my chin. The inside of my upper lip was cut.'
Ms Laws: 'This is just nonsense, isn't it? She (Ms Boerum) didn't see any bruising... you had just bitten your lip because there was fresh blood on it. Had you just done that for her benefit?'
Ms Heard: 'Of course not.'

Ms Laws then asked Ms Heard about an alleged incident in the Bahamas in August 2014, when the couple were staying on Mr Depp's private island while he was detoxing.
The barrister then read from notes of Mr Depp's doctor, Dr Kipper, which stated that Ms Heard went to get him and nurse Debbie Lloyd and described Mr Depp as 'erratic and paranoid'.
The notes said the pair found Mr Depp 'sitting quietly on his porch' and that he was calm and said he was frustrated with the detox process.
Ms Laws: 'I suggest to you that he didn't assault you in any way on that day.'
Clarifying the question, Mr Justice Nicol said: 'Did Mr Depp assault you on that day?' To which Ms Heard replied: 'Absolutely.'
Ms Laws then asked about photographs of the broken door, saying: 'That is not a photograph from the Bahamas, is it?'
Ms Heard: 'No. It was a mistake in the divorce.
Ms Laws: 'You just include any photographs, anything you can, in a very cavalier way, don't you?'
Ms Heard explained there was a large bundle of evidence in the divorce proceedings, adding: 'This is a different door he kicked.'
Ms Laws probed further about "the Bahamas incident", which involved Tara Roberts - Mr Depp's property manager there - and her husband.
The barrister said Ms Heard had "given an account in evidence of an incident whereby Tara Roberts' partner had to, in effect, take Mr Depp away from you".
Ms Laws referred to Ms Roberts' witness statement, which said Ms Heard was "insulting him, calling him names and, in the middle of this onslaught, I heard her say specifically 'your career is over', 'no one is going to hire you', 'you're washed up'."
Ms Heard said it was Mr Depp who said them to her and "continued to say them ... as he continued to threaten my job".
She added: "He had just threatened my life."
Ms Laws said: "What you have done in response to that statement (by Ms Roberts), where you are being accused of really serious violence, is to concoct an account of violence by Mr Depp where, yet again, you are defending yourself."
Ms Heard replied: "I have to defend myself sometimes."

Ms Heard was asked about an alleged incident in Tokyo in January 2015, during which the actress claims Mr Depp slapped her, grabbed her hair and knelt on her back.
Ms Laws asked if she attended a film premiere while there and when it was, and Ms Heard said she did and it was two days after the alleged attack, adding that she was concerned about bruises on her back.
Ms Laws said: 'Do you remember wearing a backless dress to that premiere?' Ms Heard replied: 'Very well.'
The barrister asked: 'You didn't have any injury on your back, did you?' Ms Heard replied: 'Not visible ... I remember checking obsessively.'

Johnny Depp's QC Eleanor Laws had earlier discussed the 'train incident', when Johnny Depp is said to have been violent to Ms Heard on the Eastern and Oriental Express in South-east Asia in August 2015 on their honeymoon.
Miss Heard alleges Depp picked a fight with her, hit her and pushed her against a wall by the throat, causing her to fear for her life. This is denied by Depp.
The barrister: 'This is yet another occasion when you had a row and it was you who lost your temper.'
Ms Heard: 'No, I disagree.'
Ms Laws showed Ms Heard a photo of Mr Depp, taken on the train, which she said showed 'an injury on his face'.
Ms Heard said she could not see any injury to Mr Depp.
Ms Laws: 'This is yet another occasion where you have completely turned an incident around and blamed Mr Depp.'
Ms Heard: 'No, I have tons of pictures from this vacation and these days and he's uninjured. He strangled me.'

Joshua Drew, the ex-husband of Amber Heard's friend Raquel "Rocky" Pennington gave evidence from Los Angeles by videolink on Wednesday afternoon.
Eleanor Laws QC, for Johnny Depp, asked Mr Drew about Ms Heard's 30th birthday party on April 21 2016, saying: "Mr Depp turned up and he was in a coherent, sociable, friendly mood, wasn't he?"
Mr Drew: "He was."
Ms Laws: "He was affectionate towards Ms Heard."
Mr Drew: "Correct."
Ms Laws then said: "You never saw Mr Depp hitting Ms Heard. You never saw him throwing a phone or anything else at her, did you?"
Mr Drew said he did not, to which Ms Laws said: "And you never saw him strike her?"
He replied: "No, I did not."
Ms Laws: "You would have seen some rows between the two of them."
Mr Drew: "On rare occasion, yes."
Mr Drew told the court that he had seen Ms Heard "drink to excess" and taking illegal drugs - including magic mushrooms and ecstasy - "on occasion".
Ms Laws then returned to the incident on May 21 2016.
She said to Mr Drew that, when his then partner Ms Pennington received a text from Ms Heard to come over to the apartment she was in, Ms Pennington "was not with you".
Mr Drew: "No, that's not the case."
Ms Laws said: "What happened on the night of May 21 is that you got involved, along with your partner Raquel Pennington, in supporting Amber Heard and then lying for her afterwards."
Mr Drew: "I certainly don't agree with that statement."
Ms Laws: "You didn't see any assault, did you?"
Mr Drew: "I didn't, as I've said repeatedly."
Ms Laws said that he spoke to the police but "did not show them any damage in the property".
Mr Drew: "I showed them all the damage in penthouse 3, the hallway and penthouse 5."
He added that photos were taken of the damage to the penthouses before the police arrived.
Mr Drew said the officer "looked at me square in the face and said something to the effect of 'her face is red, there's damage in the apartment, there's enough here that, if she wants, we can go pick him up"'.
Ms Laws suggested that Mr Drew had "concocted a story" and asked if he had "tailored your evidence in order to support Ms Heard in this case".
Mr Drew said: "Absolutely not."

The court then heard evidence from Melanie Inglessis, a make-up artist and friend of Ms Heard's (James Corden's Show)
She said she and her husband were due to go bowling with Mr Heard but she did not show up, and later texted "basically saying ... Johnny came around to talk and we had a fight and he beat on me".
She added that she told Ms Heard that there was "no other choice" but to put red lipstick on her "to cover the injury on her lip".
Ms Inglessis said the concealer was "very effective" at covering up the bruises "because, to my recollection, they were not that dark or that inflamed ... I don't remember having trouble covering them".
Asked if they were "still visible or not" after she applied make-up to Ms Heard, Ms Inglessis said: "No."
Eleanor Laws QC, for Mr Depp, asked: "Did you ever see Mr Depp be violent to Amber Heard?"
Ms Inglessis: "No."
Ms Laws: "Did you ever see Amber Heard be violent to Mr Depp?"
Ms Ingless: "No."
Ms Laws: "Ms Heard did not have the injuries that you say."
Ms Inglessis: "I'm not lying."
The court was then played footage of Heard's appearance on the show, with her face immaculately made up and no visible marks on it.
Ms Laws: 'That's what you looked like on the show, no injury is there?'
Heard: 'I have tonnes of injuries.'
Ms Laws alleged that the night before her appearance on the James Cordon show, it was Heard who was violent towards Depp and that she attacked him.
Ms Laws claimed that prior to appearing on the James Cordon show she was seen without any makeup by her stylist Samantha McMillan and that she did not notice any injuries to her face.
Ms Heard said Ms McMillen saw her while she was already having her makeup done.

In a new witness statement published today, the actress, 34, said she was 'eager for this trial to proceed' claiming her ex-husband's 'campaign has affected my professional life, my personal life and my well-being. It has been extremely upsetting'.
She added: 'I have been subjected to a campaign of targeted online abuse on social media, as well as online petitions calling for me to be removed from any future sequel to Aquaman and from my association with L'Oreal."

Accused of punching the Pirates Of The Caribbean star with her closed fist, Miss Heard, 34, replied: 'I did strike Johnny that day in defence of my sister.
'He was about to push her down the stairs and, the moment before that happened, I remembered information I had heard that he pushed a former girlfriend – I believe it was Kate Moss – down the stairs. I had heard this rumour from two people and it was fresh in my mind. And in a flash I reacted in defence of her.
Eleanor Laws QC, for Depp, accused Miss Heard of 'just making this up as you go along', saying she had 'added' Miss Moss – whom Depp dated in the 1990s – to her evidence. Miss Heard admitted she had never mentioned it before, in any statements or previous explanations of the incident.
Miss Laws: 'You are making this up as you go along, throwing in details, new details, which you have thought of literally on your feet to make your account more credible.'
Miss Heard : 'Of course not.'
Miss Laws: 'You don't want to admit the truth, which is that you are violent, do you?'
Miss Heard: 'Only in self-defence.'
