Sharing her story. Kate MossShe spoke out about her relationship with him Johnny Depp during the actor’s defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.

During a live video appearance, the model, 48, addressed a previous testimony from Heard, 36, about rumors that Depp, 58, pushed her down the stairs when they dated in the ’90s. “We were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before I did. It had been a heavy rainstorm. As I left the room, I slid down the stairs and I hurt my back,” Moss explained on Wednesday, May 25, referring to a past trip to a resort in Jamaica.

The U.K. native continued: “I screamed because I didn’t know what happened to me and I was in pain. He ran back to help me, carried me to my room, and got me medical attention. He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs.”

Heard’s legal team did not cross-examine Moss during her virtual appearance.

The supermodel and the Oscar nominee dated from 1994 to 1997 after meeting in New York City. Though their relationship was short-lived, it made tons of headlines at the time — and seemingly had a major effect on both of them.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Moss revealed that she went through “years and years of crying” after their split. “There’s nobody that’s ever really been able to take care of me,” she said at the time. “Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he told me. Like, if I said, ‘What do I do?,’ he’d tell me.”

Depp was the one to blame for their breakup, telling Hello! Magazine that he felt “responsibility” for their breakup.

“I was difficult to get on with. I let my work get in the way and I didn’t give her the attention I should have done,” he said in 1998. “The whole thing was crazy because I should never have got so worked up over what people had to say about my work. Sure, I should care for my movies, but when I get back home, I should try and leave that stuff behind. I couldn’t do that, and I was horrific to live with. Trust me, I’m a total moron sometimes.”

Moss didn’t testify during her ex-boyfriend’s libel trial against The Sun in 2020, but Heard mentioned the fashion icon’s name at one point during her own testimony. The Aquaman star claimed that she’d previously heard rumors that Depp had pushed Moss down the stairs during their relationship.

The Black MassIn connection with an article published in 2018, in which she claimed she was the victim of domestic abuse, and sexual assault, the star is suing his exwife for defamation. Heard didn’t mention Depp by name in the Washington Postessay, but the Kentucky native claims the article had a negative effect on his career as well as his reputation.

Earlier this month, Depp’s ex-girlfriend Ellen BarkinIt was attested that the Lone Ranger star displayed “controlling” behavior during the 1994 romance. In November 2019, the following deposition was taken. Drop Dead Gorgeous actress, 68, also alleged that she’d often seen Depp under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

“He was always drinking and smoking a joint,” she told the court, claiming that she also witnessed him using hallucinogenics. Barkin also claimed that Barkin was a drug addict. Secret WindowStar once threw his wine bottle at her when he was fighting with friends. Depp previously denied that claim, calling it “untrue” during a court appearance for the U.K. libel trial.
