Amber Heard’s acting coach explains exactly why she believes her tears are real

She worked with Heard for six years

An acting coach who worked with Amber Heard for several years has explained how she knew the actress’ tears were real.

In a pre-recorded testimony played to the Virginia courtroom on Wednesday (May 18), Kristinia Sexton said that during her time working with Heard she would always have trouble crying on cue while performing.

Sexton, who worked with Heard from 2011 to 2017, added that Heard would often cry during their sessions because of the volatile and allegedly violent fights between her and her husband at the time, Johnny Depp.

Sexton told the court that Heard and Depp’s relationship deteriorated during her time working with the actress and that she would often have to restructure their appointments because Heard would be “sobbing at the beginning of sessions, and we couldn’t work until we got her together.”

She added that she knew Heard’s tears were genuine at the time because “ironically, she has a little difficulty crying acting-wise.”

Sexton explained in her testimony that she had been close friends with Heard during their time working together.

Describing the actress’ relationship with Depp, she said that the couple had been “incredibly lovey-dovey and passionate” at the start of their time together and were “always together in a positive way.”

But Sexton said that as time went on she would often hear loud arguments inside their home when she was there for a session with Heard, and that eventually she had to start adding “cushion time” to their meetings because the Aquaman star would often be left in tears because of her fights with Depp.
