Kate Moss denies claims ex Johnny Depp ‘pushed her down stairs’ as she testifies at Amber Heard defamation trial

KATE Moss has denied the claims her ex Johnny Depp "pushed her down the stairs".

The supermodel was a surprise witness called by the Pirates Of The Caribbean star during the final week of his $100million defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Appearing via a video link Moss tells the court she lives in London but is testifying from Gloucestershire.

The supermodel confirmed she dated Johnny Depp from 1994 to 1997.

She then denied the allegations brought up by Heard who said during her testimony she felt connected to Moss due to a rumor that Depp pushed her down the stairs when they were dating back in the 1990s.

She said: "We were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before I did, and there had been a rainstorm.

"As I left the room I slid down the stairs and I hurt my back.

"I screamed because I didn't know what had happened to me and I was in pain.

"He came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention."

When asked if Depp pushed her down the stairs she replied "no";.

She continued: "He never pushed me, kicked me or threw me down any stairs."

Moss added she has never testified in a court case before.

The model was called to testify after Heard brought her up in her testimony saying she was reminded of the alleged stairs incident in 2015 at her Los Angeles apartment when Depp allegedly tried to punch her sister Whitney.

She told the jury: “I just, in my head, instantly think of Kate Moss and stairs.”

But by mentioning the alleged misconduct, Heard allowed Depp's lawyers to call her as a witness to discuss the rumor, which is heavily disputed.

Depp's legal team could be seen fist-bumping and celebrating after Heard made the allegation.

Depp is suing Heard for $50million (£40million) over an article in which she claimed she was a victim of abuse.

Heard did not name Depp in the article, but he claims it has cost him acting roles.

Heard and Depp's marriage lasted from 2015 to 2016.

But the 35-year-old star of the Aquaman films has countersued for $100million.

Previously the pair had reached an out-of-court divorce settlement in August 2016.

The two stars have been taking the stand before a seven-person jury in Fairfax County Circuit Court.

The case is in its final week. Depp may give evidence for a third time.
