Descrição:
DATE UNKNOWN PLACED HERE DUE TO PHOTOS WITH DAMAGED LIP TAKEN ON 18 APRIL 2012
NOTE: To maintain consistency with the UK Court which identified a timeframe and numerical order of Amber Heard’s claims, THE JDC is not allocating new numbers to any new claims but staying with the established allocation, expanding it as required. This has the advantage of allowing for and also highlighting the ever changing narrative Therefore this new claim is now 1.1 and the ‘tattoo incident’ (previously deemed the first) is now 1.2.
Amber Heard detailed an alleged attack at the hands of Johnny Depp which she claimed left her with a bloody lip -- an injury her lawyers tried to prove with a photo -- but were shot down by the judge because it wasn't submitted in time for trial ... a photo Depp's press team says doesn't line up with the timing of her allegations.
Heard claimed in her testimony ... Johnny struck her in the mouth during an argument, saying, "I was in one of these fights, I believe it's this one, in his downtown ECB, we call it, loft, and we're in the kitchen living room area and he backhands me."
She continued, "And, you know, it was, you know, he wears a lot of rings. I remember kind of just feeling like my lip went into my teeth, and it got a little blood on the wall. Just that simple, a little bit of blood on the wall."
We've obtained the photo Heard says she took after the alleged incident, showing what looks like a cut on her lip, along with a note that reads, "I shall return xxx" ... a note she says Depp left behind.
It's the same photo Heard's legal team wanted to show the jury, but Depp's team objected ... saying Amber's lawyers never submitted the photo during the discovery phase of the case. The judge agreed with Depp's attorneys, so the photo was never introduced into evidence.
Now Depp's team tells TMZ ... the photo is from 2012 -- TMZ has seen the metadata and we've confirmed that -- yet in the UK defamation case, Amber's witness statement said the first violent incident was in 2013 ... a year after the alleged bloody lip photo was taken.
