FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Actor Amber Heard told jurors how difficult it has been for her to relive her troubled marriage to Johnny Depp as part of a libel lawsuit he filed against her.

Heard took the stand Wednesday in the trial's fourth week.

Her testimony comes after a psychologist hired by Heard’s lawyers testified she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder from multiple acts of abuse by Depp, including sexual violence.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star is suing Heard in Fairfax, Virginia, over an op-ed she wrote describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”

The article didn't name Depp, but he says he was defamed because it referred to accusations she raised during their divorce.
