No Jason Momoa did not testify in court.
The video of Jason Momoa giving testimony in the defamation trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is fake. It has been edited and dubbed to make it appear as if he is giving testimony, but he has never appeared in court for this trial. The actual footage is from an interview on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2020.
The trial is ongoing, with Depp suing Heard for defamation and Heard countersuing Depp for harassment. The trial is being televised and has garnered a lot of attention.
The Trial of Johnny vs Amber
The trial of John C. Depp II v. Amber Laura Heard was held in Virginia from April 11 to June 1, 2022. Depp, the plaintiff, filed a $50 million defamation complaint against Heard, his ex-wife. In response, Heard filed counterclaims against Depp for $100 million in damages.
Depp and Heard were married in February 2015 after they met for the first time in 2009. However, in May 2016, during their divorce proceedings, Heard accused Depp of physically abusing her, which Depp denied. In a separate libel trial in the UK, where Depp sued News Group Newspapers Ltd over an article published in The Sun, the judge ruled against Depp, stating that most of the allegations of abuse were proven to be true.
In the Virginia trial, Depp's defamation claims were related to an op-ed written by Heard and published in The Washington Post in December 2018. Depp claimed that Heard's statements had caused new damage to his reputation and career. Heard's counterclaims included allegations that Depp's former lawyer, Adam Waldman, had defamed her in statements published in the Daily Mail in 2020.
The Disprovel of Heards allegations
Throughout the trial, Depp's legal team sought to disprove Heard's allegations of abuse and demonstrate that she had been the instigator of intimate partner violence. Heard's lawyers defended the op-ed as factual and protected by the First Amendment.
The trial was widely followed on social media and in the news, with many people being sympathetic to Depp and critical of Heard. The jury ultimately ruled that Heard's op-ed statements about sexual violence and domestic abuse were false and defamatory, and awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages from Heard. They also ruled that Waldman had defamed Heard by falsely alleging that she and her friends had damaged Depp's penthouse as part of a hoax. They awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages from Waldman.
After the trial, both parties appealed against the verdicts, but in December 2022, they reached a settlement and dropped their appeals. Depp's lawyers announced that Depp would receive $1 million from Heard.
