[Amber Heard] had a history with James Franco that was negative, at least she described it as negative. She described him as being sexually aggressive towards her in a previous film they had done together.

I seem to recall there was some confusion as to why [Amber Heard] would want to do another movie with someone who she described as "rapey" and sexually aggressive.

“I'm disgusted that I ever fucking touched that scum. Back on Tuesday and then court. Will hit you when I get back, doll. Come over for a spot of purple & we will fix her flabby arse nice and good. Loveth, J.”

Sasha Wass QC: Red wine, and not only to come over for a spot of purple, but to fix her flabby arse. That was about [Amber Heard], was it not?

Kate James: Yes. Yes.

#JusticeForJohnnyDepp https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Sasha Wass QC: Your witness statement contains a suggestion that [Amber Heard] drank two bottles of wine a night.

Kate James: My witness statement did not state that at all. I said [Amber Heard] drank vast quantities of red wine.

#JusticeForJohnnyDepp
https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Sasha Wass QC: When was it that you say you saw [Amber Heard] drinking these vast quantities of wine?

Kate James: I knew [Amber Heard] drank the wine because when I would go in the morning, I would see the empty bottles ...

#JusticeForJohnnyDepp https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
and not only that.... I would receive a barrage of drunken text messages between the hours of 2 and 4 in the morning on a very regular basis, incoherent, abusive text messages between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., on average, on an almost daily basis.

- Kate James https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Sasha Wass QC: Do you remember contacting Ms. Heard after she had returned on a plane journey from Boston, having travelled from New York, where she was filming The Adderall Diaries with James Franco?

Kate James: I believe she contacted me first, ma'am https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Sasha Wass QC: in the text, and I will read it, is: "I have to leave JD. He's just freaked out on me. He is drinking again. It's bad, worse than ever. I need out “ Are you reminded about what the subject-matter was?

#JusticeForJohnnyDepp
https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Kate James: Yes, I remember the day very clearly, trust me.

Sasha Wass QC: [Amber Heard] went to stay in a hotel?

Kate James: I do not know why because she had an apartment, but yes.

#JusticeForJohnnyDepp
https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Sasha Wass QC: [Amber Heard] had an apartment that she was sharing with Mr. Depp in the Eastern Columbia Building?

Kate James: No, excuse me, ma'am, [Amber Heard] had her own apartment that was still being paid for and maintained by Mr. Depp

https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Kate James: .... which was on Orange Avenue. You may have heard of that apartment before.

Sasha Wass QC: We have heard of that apartment.

#JusticeForJohnnyDepp
https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Kate James: That apartment was still fully functioning and liveable, so I do not know why [Amber Heard] went to The Chateau.

Sasha Wass QC: [Amber Heard] did go to The Chateau, as you call it, the hotel?

Kate James: Yes.
#JusticeForJohnnyDepp
https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Kate James: [Amber Heard] went to The Chateau with four of her friends and they basically had a pool party all day.

Sasha Wass QC: [Amber Heard] had friends who were supporting her in a traumatic event.

Kate James: And drinking and swimming and sunbathing and having fun.
Sasha Wass QC: Ms. James, do you think, when you consider Ms. Heard, you are able to be objective and impartial and fair?

Kate James: Uh-huh.

#JusticeForJohnnyDepp
https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
Sasha Wass QC: Or do you think you are bitter and twisted and have been
influenced by Mr. Depp and his associates, who have encouraged you to give this vicious evidence against Ms. Heard?

Kate James: Absolutely not.

I am here for my own reasons and you know what those reasons are by reading my second witness statement. I am a sexual violence survivor & it is very, very serious to take that stance if you are not one, and I am one, and so that is the reason I am here.

- Kate James [assistant]
Because [Amber Heard] referred to a conversation we had about me being violently raped at a certain point in Brazil and she used that as her own story.

David Sherborne: Ms. James, just a bit slower, otherwise the judge cannot take a note.

Kate James: [Amber Heard] referred directly to a violent rape that occurred to me 26 years ago, and she twisted it into her own story and she used it for her own use.
https://www.nickwallis.com/depp-trial 
As I perused the documents, much
to my utter shock and dismay, I discovered that @realamberheard had stolen my sexual violence conversation with her and twisted it into her own story to benefit herself.

This of course caused me extreme distress and outrage that she [Amber Heard] would dare to attempt to use the most harrowing experience of my life as her own narrative.

David Sherborne: Since you left Ms. Heard's employment, have you been unemployed?

Kate James: I have had the best job of my life for the past 5 years
with one of the kindest men in Hollywood, so I am very grateful and very blessed.
