The battle lines have been drawn and people have taken sides but regardless of which side you are on, you have to admit that the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has been a pressure-fueled sensation.
Perhaps that is why most of us are not surprised that Amber Heard’s attorney, Elaine Bredehoft was seen running to the bathroom in tears after the defamation trial came to its end.
For six weeks, both sides would repeatedly take the stand and it seemed as if things just kept getting more and more interesting. After the jury retired to go over the testimony, it seems as if the pressure was just too much for Bredehoft and she had to excuse herself.
All of this got started because of the claim by Heard that she was a “public figure representing domestic abuse” in a 2018 Washington Post article. Depp sued her for $50 million and she turned around and sued for $100 million.
A frequent court visitor named James was on hand to see the event, which he posted on Twitter for the world to view. He said: “Late after trial, before the jury went home, #ElaineBredehoft left for the bathroom crying. We all felt terrible for her. After she came out, we tried to make her smile. I hope it helped.”

James later posted a YouTube video that revealed more about the situation.
He said:
It was around 5 o’clock, right before the jury decided they were going to go home for the day. Everyone had pretty much left, but there were a few people hanging around, just in case they had [reached] a verdict.
Three of us were standing outside the bathroom when we saw her basically kind of not run, but go into the bathroom very quickly crying. And then one of them was going to go in after her, but another woman entered the bathroom, too.
She seemed a little bit better, but… we noticed. It was very visible because she’s cried a couple of times in court as well [which] we’ve noticed. So we all had said something about it, like… we feel so bad for her.
So after she came out, we all were like, ‘Hey, you’re doing a great job. It must be so hard. We understand. It’s not you,’ and stuff. She smiled and she said thank you and then went back into the courtroom
