In the piece, which published roughly two years after they divorced, Heard described herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse." Though Depp was not named in the article, he claims it cost him lucrative acting roles.

Heard has filed a counterclaim for $100 million.

'Every word of it was true'

On Monday, Heard testified about the op-ed at the center of the case.

She said she did not want Depp's name in piece, originally drafted by the ACLU, but agreed to have it published in her name because she believed in raising awareness for the issues addressed in the op-ed.

"Every word of it is true," Heard said.

I didn't want him to be in trouble," Heard testified.

'I want to move on'

Heard also testified about her counterclaim, which revolves around three statements that Depp's attorney made, the first in 2019, in reference to Heard's claims of abuse, each time calling her claims a "hoax."

"Unfortunately, all of this is real," Heard testified.

I want Johnny to move on, too," Heard said.

"I just want him to leave me alone."

Cross-examination begins

During the beginning of cross-examination, Camille Vasquez, an attorney for Depp began questioning Heard about her abuse allegations, at times zooming in on photos taken of the actress during public appearances after different alleged incidents of physical abuse and pointing out that Heard did not have visible injuries.

Please try to answer my question."

"As of today, you have not paid $3.5 million dollars of your own money to the ACLU?" Vasquez asked Heard.

"I have not," Heard replied.

Vasquez continued, "And as of today you have not paid $3.5 million dollars of your own money to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles?"

"I have not yet; Johnny sued me," Heard replied.

Cross-examination is expected to continue Tuesday at 9 a.m ET.

Closing arguments in the trial are expected to begin around May 27, followed by jury deliberations.
