Kate Moss
Kate Moss is a British supermodel and former romantic partner of Johnny Depp, with whom she had a relationship from approximately 1994 to 1998. She testified remotely via WebEx from Gloucestershire, England. Called by Depp's legal team, her relevance to the trial arose from testimony elsewhere that had implicitly invoked her name in connection with staircase violence allegations against Depp.
Testimony Impact
Moss testified briefly via WebEx, recounting a rainstorm accident at GoldenEye resort in Jamaica in which she slipped on wet stairs, injured her back, and Depp — who had already left the room — ran back to carry her and seek medical attention. She explicitly denied that Depp ever pushed, kicked, or threw her down any stairs, a categorical denial that directly countered testimony implying Depp had a history of pushing women down stairs. Heard's counsel offered no cross-examination, leaving the denial entirely unchallenged. The testimony served as a precise, targeted rebuttal to one strand of the defense's domestic violence narrative.
Notable Quotes From The Record
“I—we were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before I did, and there had been a rainstorm, and as I left the room, I slipped down the stairs and I hurt my back.”
Moss's own account of the Jamaica incident: Depp had already exited before she fell, establishing he was not present at the moment of the slip.
“And I screamed because I was in — because I didn't know what happened to me, and I was in pain, and he came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention.”
Completes the Jamaica account, depicting Depp returning to assist rather than being the cause of her injury.
“No, he never pushed me, kicked me, or threw me-down any stairs.”
Broadest and most direct denial — covers the full relationship and all physical actions, directly rebutting the prior staircase-push claim.
