Amber Heardasked her former agent to deliver apologetic notes she’d written toJohnny Deppover a year after their breakup.
In a pre-recorded deposition of Christian Carino, a talent agent who at one point represented both Heard and Depp for Creative Artists Agency, played for the jury on Wednesday, details about Heard seemingly wanting to reconcile with Depp over a year after their contentious split were presented.
Carino, who said he was a close friend and confidant of Heard’s at the time, was asked about text messages he exchanged with the actress in August 2017. (Depp and Heard, who met while making their 2011 movieThe Rum Diary, got married in February 2015. Heard filed for divorce in May 2016, and requested a domestic violence restraining order against Depp less than a week later.)

Carino testified that he “believed” Heard was attempting to reconcile with Depp at the time. Heard’s relationship with Tesla CEO Elon Musk ended that same month in August 2017.
In a text sent to Carino in September 2017, Heard wrote, “God I miss him,” referring to Depp. Another of hers from June 2018 read: “I text him happy birthday.”

ThePirates of the Caribbeanactor has testified that his “goal is the truth” as he seeks to clear his name in the trial, which is being televised live via various outlets. Ahead of the trial, Heard — who has not taken the stand yet — said in a statement that “hopefully when this case concludes, I can move on and so can Johnny. I have always maintained a love for Johnny and it brings me great pain to have to live out the details of our past life together in front of the world.”
Concluding his testimony earlier this week, Depp — who has said multiple times under oath that he has never struck Heard or any woman — said that, after Heard’s allegations against him, he lost “nothing short of everything.”
Back in November 2020, Depplost his highly publicized U.K. libel lawsuit caseagainst British tabloidThe Sunfor calling him a “wife-beater.” The court upheld the outlet’s claims as being “substantially true” and Heard testified to back up the claims. In March 2021, his attempt tooverturn the decision was overruled.
