• Amber HeardAmerican actress

Amber Heard's former agent testified that the actress wanted to get back together with Johnny Depp after she publicly accused him of abuse. The Aquamanstar was dating Elon Musk at the time, or "filling space" with the Tesla founder, as she purportedly told her then friend.

CAA agent Christian Carino, who happens to be Lady Gaga's ex-fiancé, testified in a recorded video deposition on Wednesday. He was both Depp and Heard's former agent. Carino spoke about how he had a close personal relationship with the actors throughout their relationship, even setting them up with a couple's counselor in 2015. He said he never witnessed any abuse and that Heard never told him she was physically assaulted by Depp. Carino is no longer friends with Depp or Heard.

Carino was asked about facilitating a meeting between Heard and Depp in July 2016 at the actress' request.

"[Amber] wanted me to arrange for them to get together in person," Carino declared. "I talked to Johnny about it... he was reluctant at first and then agreed."

Heard, who filed for divorce and was granted a temporary restraining order in May 2016, apparently gave Carino assurances she would "never accuse" Depp of violating the TRO as a result of the meeting. Carino "set the meeting up" and believes there were legal transparencies on both sides as the two were hashing out their divorce at the time.

Carino "borrowed" a friends house in San Francisco, which is where Heard and Depp first met. "They sat outside," he recalled, "inches away from each other" for "several hours." When the homeowner was set to return, they rented a hotel room to continue the conversation. Things didn't go as smoothly.

"They started arguing," Carino testified. This appears to be the same meeting where an audio recording was taken. In the clip played in court last week, Depp has a knife and tells Heard to "take my blood" while she begs him not to cut himself. ("I thought that was the only thing she didn't have at that point," Depp testified about the exchange caught on tape.)
