She went on to say that she was ‘utterly shocked’ when Amber Heard stole her sexual violence story and altered it to benefit herself. She also said that she was ‘extremely distressed’ and ‘outraged’ that Heard would use such a ‘harrowing experience’ in her life for her own benefit. She also added that she has appeared in the court because she finds it offensive.

Kate James also revealed that when she was Amber Heard’s personal assistant, she would be bombarded with drunken texts from her between 2 AM to 4 AM. Kate who worked for Amber from 2012 to 2015 stated that Amber would send her incoherent and abusive drunken messages on an 'almost daily' basis. However, she added that Amber Heard deleted the messages after terminating the employment and only kept those that weren’t abusive. In her statement, Kate James also said that Amber Heard feels she is ‘above the law’ and does not care about throwing anybody under the bus to save her own self.
