Dr Shannon Curry Testimony On The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard Trial

Dr Shannon Curry spent about 12 hours with Amber Heard; during which, she reviewed Amber’s health records, documents, audio recordings, photos, and videos. So, based on the test results, Curry concluded that she “believes” that Amber has a borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder and does not have post-traumatic stress disorder.

Also, she added that Amber has a lot of inner hostility and is self-righteous, judgmental, and full of rage.

However, with this being said, Dr Shannon shared, “These aren’t fact, but her scores were consistent with other people who had obtained these scores who have been shown through many, many studies to have these very specific traits.” 

Dr Shannon’s testimony comes as lawyers for Johnny and Amber tried to paint the other as the aggressor in their violent marriage.

Overall, Dr Shannon concluded that Amber’s  personality disorder  comes from her “underlying terror of abandonment.”
