Kate Moss Testifies for Ex Johnny Depp: 'He Never Pushed Me, Kicked Me or Threw Me Down Any Stairs'
Amber Heard previously testified about a rumor she'd heard of Johnny Depp allegedly pushing ex-girlfriend Kate Moss down a set of stairs
Kate Moss testified that
Johnny Depp "never pushed" her down "any stairs" when they were dating in the 1990s.
On Wednesday morning, the British model, 48, appeared via live video link in front of the Fairfax, Virginia, courtroom to address a reference Depp's ex-wife
Amber Heard, 36, made in previous testimony about Moss and "stairs."
Moss, who said that she and Depp dated from 1994 to 1998, testified that the alleged incident occurred while they were vacationing at a resort in Jamaica, and that he did not push her when she fell.
"We were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before I did. There had been a rainstorm. As I left the room, I slid down the stairs and I hurt my back," she said under oath. "I screamed because I didn't know what happened to me and I was in pain. He came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention."
"He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs," added Moss.
Moss was not cross-examined by Heard's team.
Heard, earlier this month, mentioned Moss' name during her time on the stand while discussing an alleged altercation that happened on a staircase back in March 2015 between Depp and Heard's sister
Whitney Henriquez. The Aquaman actress said Henriquez became "in the line of fire … trying to get Johnny to stop," which reminded her of a rumored incident between Moss and Depp involving a stair altercation. She said she then intervened to defend her younger sister.
"[Whitney's] back was to the staircase, and Johnny swings at her," Heard testified. "I don't hesitate, I don't wait — I just, in my head, instantly think of Kate Moss and stairs. And I swung at him."
"In all of my relationship to date with Johnny, I hadn't landed a blow. And I, for the first time, hit him — like, actually hit him. Square in the face," Heard added. "He didn't push my sister down the stairs."
Heard previously brought up the Moss staircase allegation during her testimony at Depp's U.K. defamation trial in 2020.
