Amber Heard has two personality disorders, psychologist says in court
Forensic psychologist reveals Amber Heard’s personality disorder diagnoses, as the defamation case with Johnny Depp continues in the courts of Virginia
Johnny Depp’s witness, Shannon Curry says she diagnosed Amber Heard with borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder after multiple psychological assessments and 12 hours of interviews with Heard.
Curry is a licensed clinical psychologist who was hired by Depp’s team in 2021.
Curry says people with borderline personality disorders can often “explode and react” over things they might read into and exaggerate in their minds to be an offence.
She also says people with this disorder are “driven by an underlying fear of abandonment” and will go to desperate measures to prevent that from happening.
Curry calls borderline personality disorder a “predictive factor for women who implement violence against their partner”.
Depp’s councils’ hopes this will support their claim that Heard was the perpetrator of violence in the relationship, not Depp.
While calling borderline personality a disease of instability, Curry says histrionic personality is “two sides of a same coin”.
She claims people with histrionic personality tend to victimise themselves or make up stories to be the centre of attention.
In a cross-examination of Curry’s claims, Heard’s council questioned her on having dinner and drinks with Depp and his legal team before being hired but Curry says she was being interviewed.
Heard has previously said she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which Curry also denies, saying Heard exaggerated PTSD claims.
The libel lawsuit is set to continue in the courts of Virginia where Depp is suing Heard for $50 million for an article she wrote in Washington Post claiming to be a victim of domestic abuse.
The actor denies the allegations, while Heard is counter-suing for $100 million.

Israel strikes Tehran anew as conflict escalates and global markets react
Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, following the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the campaign could last up to a month, framing the operation as a move to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.
Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, while its Revolutionary Guards claim responsibility for assaults on oil tankers in the Gulf. The escalating hostilities are already disrupting global shipping lanes and air travel, sending shockwaves through international markets.
With reports of the first U.S. casualties emerging and Washington declaring the Tehran operation a success, tensions across the Middle East are intensifying rapidly. The question now is how far this conflict could spread — and at what cost.

U.S. and Israel strike Iran as missiles hit Gulf bases and oil surges
U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.
U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.
The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.
Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.
Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.
Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.
Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.
With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.
