Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are both celebrities, but their former doorman turned out to be the star Wednesday at the defamation trial going on in Fairfax, Virginia.
The court heard from Alejandro Romero, who was a doorman at the Los Angeles apartment building where Johnny Depp and Amber Heard once lived.
The whole exchange was so bizarre that Judge Penney Azcarate had to admit, Ive seen a lot of things, but Ive never seen that.
Romeros deposition concerned a domestic disturbance incident involving the couple on May 21, 2016, but he told the lawyers interrogating him that he was so stressed out and didnt want to deal with this anymore.

Im tired ... I dont want to deal with this court case ... everybodys got problems and I dont want to deal with this no more, he said at one point, according to People.com.
Romero told the attorneys that he couldnt recall seeing any marks or bruises on Heards face in the days after the incident but added, I wouldve seen that and I would remember because thats something that you would see.
Romero, who was vaping throughout the deposition, admitted he couldnt remember if he saw Heard on a particular date and got laughs when he explained, I dont remember. I dont even remember what I got for breakfast.

Although Romero admitted not having many encounters with Depp, he said the actor wasnt abusive or violent on those occasions.
Another time, he said, he remembered Heard asking him to investigate if there was an intruder after a dog scratched at their front door.

What? Four inches off the ground? The dog was scratching, he said. In my head, you think someone is trying to get into your unit with scratches four inches above the floor?
They were terrified. They asked me to go inside the unit and inspect each room individually. Its part of my job, so I did it, Romero said, while many in the courtroom laughed.

Depp is accusing Heard of defamation over a 2018 Washington Post opinion piece titled I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our cultures wrath. That has to change.
The trial, which just finished its 11th day, is likely to take weeks to conclude.
