Amber Heard on Thursday conceded that it ‘seems like’ two versions of the same photo were used as evidence to allege damage from ex-husband Johnny Depp on two different occasions, though she insisted it was difficult to remember everything due to regular violence in the relationship.

Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over an op-ed she penned about domestic violence at The Washington Post. The “Aquaman” actress has countersued for $100 million.

“Or, if you were telling the truth, you would know,” Depp lawyer Camille Vasquez slammed Heard, after the actress told her to look at redacted photo metadata to figure out when the photo was actually taken.

During cross-examination on Thursday, Vasquez showed Heard a photo of what looked like spilled wine that Heard used to bolster testimony of an alleged incident on December 15, 2015.

Vasquez then showed Heard her own testimony about the photo, matching her discussion of the December 15, 2015, incident. But Heard pushed back, claiming the photo and re-read testimony were not enough to refresh her recollection.

Vasquez then showed Heard a version of the same photo in connection to testimony the actress gave about an incident from May 21, 2016. Heard was also shown transcript of her own testimony about the photo and May incident.

The actress conceded the connection.

“Defendant’s exhibit 512 and 725 seem to be different versions of the same picture, don’t they?”

“That’s correct,” Heard again conceded.

“So, which is it? Which one of these photos was taken on December 15, 2015, or May 21, 2016?”

Heard told Vasquez she could “find out” by looking at the metadata on the photo.

“Or, if you were telling the truth, you would know,” Vasquez shot back.

“I’m supposed to know off the top of my head when you’ve lived through five years of this stuff?” Heard pushed back. “That’s not how that works.”

Similarly, on redirect, Heard looked directly at the jury and explained that testifying about both photos for two different incidents happened because there was so much violence during her relationship with Depp that she was simply unable to keep the photos/incidents straight.

WATCH:

Cathy Russon from Law&Crime highlighted the combative nature of the exchange:

On Wednesday, former TMZ employee Morgan Tremaine testified before the court that he received an anonymous tip online that included video of Depp slamming cabinets.

His testimony further implied that Heard or someone on her team were the ones who sent over the video, saying that TMZ was able to receive the tip, receive copyright ownership, and publish the video within about 15 minutes.

Tremaine said this can only be done when you’re working with someone who has copyright ownership of the content in question. Otherwise, the process takes much longer.
