Johnny
Depp
and
Amber
Heard's
defamation
trial
has
gone
for
jury
deliberation.
A
photo
of
the
ex-couple
taken
at
Raffles
Hotel
during
their
honeymoon
is
currently
going
viral
as
the
original
photographer
opens
up
about
the
moment
the
viral
picture
was
taken
in
2015.
According
to
reports,
the
pictures
showing
Depp
with
a
bruised
left
eye
has
been
used
as
evidence
during
the
trial.
Heard's
lawyers
countered
the
photo
had
been
"photoshopped",
however,
the
original
photographer
has
revealed
that
she
still
has
the
original
picture
in
colour.
The
photo
first
surfaced
on
May
20,
when
a
Singaporean
photographer
Russel
Wong
shared
it
on
his
Instagram
account.
Russel
who
believed
in
Johnny's
claim
that
Amber
had
abused
him
during
their
marriage,
recalled
seeing
the
picture
at
the
Hotel
years
ago
and
shared
it
on
his
social
media
handle.
Soon
after,
Johnny's
lawyer
contacted
him
seeking
to
use
the
picture
in
the
defamation
trial.
He
wrote,
"When
Amber
Heard
accused
Johnny
Depp
of
photoshopping
a
bruise
on
the
E&O
train
shot
to
Singapore..
it
triggered
me
to
try
and
obtain
this
photo
which
I
remembered
hanging
at
the
Raffles
Hotel
where
they
had
their
honeymoon."
Russel
recently
in
an
Instagram
post
clarified
that
he
didn't
click
the
photograph
and
doesn't
know
who
clicked
it
originally.
He
added,
"I
searched
on
the
net
that
evening
and
found
many
blogs
that
featured
it
and
noticed
that
same
bruise
on
his
face
as
the
train
shot.
I
then
shared
it
on
my
Instagram
in
the
late
evening,
and
wrote
'Happy
Honeymoon'
as
a
tongue
in
cheek
comment.
I
just
wanted
to
set
the
record
straight
not
expecting
anything."
After
the
post
went
viral,
the
real
photographer
Li
Tong,
(Instagram
handle
@Ibikeshootfly)
commented
on
Russel's
post.
She
wrote,
"Hi
Russel,
I
took
this
shot
back
in
2015
and
I
also
have
the
original
photo
in
full
colour.
Thanks
@giiiit
for
sharing
the
post
with
me."
Tong
then
shared
more
details
on
Instagram
Stories
and
said
that
in
2015,
she
used
to
be
an
intern
at
Raffles
Hotel
when
she
took
the
picture.
However,
she
did
not
share
the
original
picture
in
full
colour.
For
the
unversed,
Depp
later
sued
ex-wife
Amber
for
$50
million
for
defaming
him
in
an
op-ed
for
Washington
Post.
He
has
also
accussed
Amber
of
being
the
abusive
one
in
their
marriage.
Amber
has
countersued
the
actor
for
$100
million
claiming
that
he
defamed
her
by
calling
her
claims
as
a
hoax.
The
trial
was
concluded
on
May
27
and
the
jury
is
set
to
return
for
deliberation
on
June
1,
2022.
