In a deposition during the trial, actor Johnny Depp was called an “idiot” by Amber’s team. The psychiatrist, who had been brought in to evaluate Johnny based on the evidence presented in court, did not personally diagnose Johnny but read through files written by Johnny’s physicians and watched videos. He had already labeled Johnny a domestic abuser because Amber had accused Johnny of abuse during a session with their shrink.
Johnny had said nothing in response.
Mr. Depp said nothing when asked why he called Johnny an idiot. He said that he never called him an idiot and it might have been out of context. The psychiatrist also appeared rude to Johnny’s team, arguing with the lawyer and answering questions with irrelevant answers. He tried turning the whole scenario into Johnny’s attorney’s fault for not giving him a transcript of his own words.
The psychiatrist has no significance in this case despite being a professional in psychology and hired by Amber’s team. He never diagnosed either Johnny or Amber, making him one of Amber’s useless witnesses. He had a bad attitude and had no relevance concerning the case.
In conclusion, the deposition highlights the potential bias and disrespect towards Johnny Depp, as well as the potential misuse of a psychiatrist by Amber’s team.
