The defamation trial of Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard has now reached Day 7 in a Fairfax County, Virginia, courtroom.

Depp is suing over an op-ed Heard wrote for the Washington Post that she also posted to her social media account.

This is his second day on the stand. Much of the testimony has focused on the abuse he suffered as a child, along with drug and alcohol abuse.

The trial is expected to run until late May.
