Adam Waldman is at the centre of Amber Heard’s counterclaim in the defamation trial after he called her abuse allegations ‘a hoax’.

Johnny Depp’s attorney has claimed that video taken by Marilyn Manson “demolished” Amber Heard’s allegations that she was abused by her ex-husband.

Testimony from Adam Waldman, who has worked on and off on Mr Depp’s legal team since October 2016, was played in court on Thursday during the former couple’s high-stakes defamation trial in Fairfax, Virginia.

Mr Waldman, who is at the centre of Ms Heard’s counterclaim after he called her abuse allegations “fake” and “a hoax”, gave video testimony back in February after being subpoenaed by the Aquaman actress’s legal team.

Mr Waldman appears to be referring to video from Thanksgiving 2015 which was played during Mr Depp’s UK libel case against The Sun newspaper – which he lost.

In the video, Mr Manson joked that Ms Heard’s father was “a monster” before David began chasing Jack.

Mr Depp’s legal team claimed at the UK case that the video showed “a happy family event” – and so cast doubt on Ms Heard’s version of events from that day.

Mr Waldman’s comments accusing Ms Heard of staging “a hoax” are a focus of Ms Heard’s counterclaim in the defamation trial.

Mr Waldman was later reportedly dropped from Mr Depp’s legal team but is now back working as his counsel.

Mr Manson was mentioned earlier on in the defamation trial, when Mr Depp testified that he had taken drugs with the rock star.
