In Heard’s full interview with NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie about the trial, which aired on newsmagazine on Friday, the actress said that the notes would corroborate claims that Depp abused her, including an incident in 2013 where she told her therapist that Depp threw her against a wall and threatened to kill her.
“I’m talking about what happened to me in real time,” Heard said. “She’s taking notes on what’s going on.”
The notes were reviewed by NBC. Guthrie said, “Since 2012, Amber has been talking about physical abuse. In January of that year, she told her therapist Depp hit her, throwing her to the floor. Eight months later, tore off her nightgown, threw her on the bed.”
