Kate Moss – To Testify In Johnny Depp And Amber Heard trial

A few weeks ago, Johnny Depp’s lawyers were seen fist-bumping after Amber Heard, 36, brought up Kate Moss in her testimony. Depp, 58, and Moss had dated between 1994 and 1997 and according to sources, she has always been supportive of him. When Heard mentioned the model, legal experts said at the time that this could give Depp the opportunity to quash a rumor that he pushed the British supermodel down the stairs while they were dating.

The New York Post quotes California entertainment lawyer Mitra Ahouraian that this was one mistake Heard made by bringing up Moss. She added that this could potentially open the door to Depp’s legal team to bring the supermodel on as an impeachment witness with Moss “saying, ‘This never happened.’”

At that time, a source close to the Pirates of the Caribbean actor told the New York Post that Amber mentioning one of Johnny’s exes was a big mistake. Heard clearly feels Moss is not supportive of Depp, “which couldn’t be further from the truth.”
