Amber Heard’s claims of copying her testimony against Johnny Depp from the movie exposed

The Aquaman star’s May 6 testimony against Johnny Depp fueled rumours on social media that her words in court were ‘copied exactly’ from the film The Talented Mr Ripley.

Several sources, however, took on the task of fact-checking the accusation and discovered that, while Heard’s testimony resembled Gwyneth Paltrow’s lines in the 1999 film, her statements were not literally plagiarised.

International fact-checking site Snopes and news magazine Newsweek reported, “The rumour that Amber Heard quoted the movie The Talented Mr Ripley in her testimony is false, those phrases were not spoken during her testimony,”

Snopes explained, “The meme says the quote came from Heard’s ‘opening statement’. This is an odd claim, however, in that, it was Heard’s lawyer, not Heard herself, who made an opening statement on her behalf.”

According to the news sites, no video evidence that Heard said the statement has been discovered.
