What do you say to that?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSays the lawyer for the man who convinced the world he had scissors for fingers?\u201d Heard quipped. \u201cI\u2019m the performer? I had listened to weeks of testimony insinuating that \u2014 or saying quite directly that \u2014 you know, I\u2019m a terrible actress. So, I\u2019m a bit confused how I could be both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Depp team argued that you were the abuser, that you instigated physical violence. Did you?\u201d Guthrie continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never had to instigate it. I responded to it. When you are living in violence and it becomes normal, as I testified to, you have to adapt,\u201d Heard replied, continuing to insist that she had only gotten physical as a reaction to Depp and the abusive nature of their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou say you were responding, but there is evidence. There are tapes in which you acknowledge hitting. There are tapes which you say, \u2018I started the fight,&#8217;\u201d Guthrie pressed.<\/p>\n<p>Heard pushed back, claiming that the tapes had been edited and they did not clearly show what was happening in real time. She went on to argue that the tapes were really evidence that she was negotiating with her \u201cabuser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know much has been made of these audio tapes. They were first leaked online after being edited,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat you would hear in those clips are not evidence of what was happening.
