14 h, feb 2, 2020 y - Roberta Kaplan Statement Mr. Depp apparently is implying, that if Ms. Heard slapped him, then she can't also be a victim

Description:

In a statement to USA TODAY, Heard's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, did not address the audio recordings and did not deny the allegations of physical violence but argued that Heard was also a victim of abuse.

"The fact that a woman fights or talks back does not mean that she has not been the subject of repeated domestic violence and abuse," the statement read. "It's a myth to say, as Mr. Depp apparently is implying, that if Ms. Heard slapped him, then she can't also be a victim. That is just not true."

Kaplan shared excerpts from Heard's "formal discovery responses in the Virginia case from more than a month ago," in which the actress said that she used her "body and limbs" and would "throw objects in Mr. Depp's direction" to protect herself when Depp "would violently assault her."
