While she was on the stand, Dr Hughes claimed Mr Depp perpetrated multiple acts of sexual and physical violence against Ms Heard over the course of their tumultous marriage, which ended in divorce in 2016.
Dr Hughes said she had diagnosed Ms Heard with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the alleged intimate partner violence perpetrated by Mr Depp.
She claimed Ms Heard reported Mr Depp had “pushed”, “shoved”, “slapped”, and “choked” her.
The New-York based clinical and forensic psychologist also claimed in court that Mr Depp was insecure of “almost every person” with whom Ms Heard was in a film.
