Earlier this month, Amber Heard mentioned an unconfirmed rumor about Johnny Depp involving his ex-girlfriend Kate Moss while giving testimony that the 58-year-old actor abused her during his relationship.
According to Heard, she had heard a rumor that Moss, who dated Depp between 1994 and 1998, was pushed down the stairs by the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor.
Heard said that during a fight with her ex-husband Depp on a flight of stairs, she was reminded of the rumor and threw a punch in self-defense. Moss has never publicly accused Depp of misconduct and people close to Depp previously told Insider that the anecdote was false.
On Wednesday, Depp's lawyers called Moss to the stand and she also disputed the rumor.
"He never pushed me, kicked me, or threw me down any stairs," Moss said via live video stream from Gloucestershire, England.
Moss said that Depp tended her after she slipped at a resort in Jamaica while they were dating.
"We were leaving the room, and Johnny left the room before I did," she said. "And there had been a rainstorm. And as I left the room, I slid down the stairs and I hurt my back."
She added: "I screamed because I didn't know what had happened to me, and I was in pain. And he came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention."
Although the couple appeared to have heated arguments during their relationship, Moss told Vanity Fair in 2012 that Depp was the only person who has been able to take care of her.
On Wednesday, Depp said during his testimony that he had never heard the rumor before Heard brought it up and suggested the "Aquaman" actress came up with it.
