's former personal assistant accused the actress of 'stealing' her own harrowing story of being the victim of sexual violence - and 'twisting' it for her own benefit.
Kate James chose to break her anonymity by submitting a statement in the High Court declaring that she was violently raped at knife point when aged 26 while she was travelling in  and that Johnny Depp's ex-wife subsequently 'twisted it into her own story to benefit herself'.  
Ms James worked as Heard's PA between March 2012 until February 2015.

She claimed that in 2013, she confided in the actress about what happened to her and her battle to overcome her experience.
She was giving evidence to Johnny Depp's blockbuster libel trial against The Sun in London as he accuses the newspaper of falsely branding him a 'wife beater.' 
James told the court that Heard asked to hear her story of surviving sexual violence, and as they spoke in her office, Heard suggested that Ms James should buy a gun to which she responded that she saw herself as a 'rape survivor' and not a 'rape victim'.
In her statement, parts of which were read out in court, Ms James revealed that she only received documents related to the High Court libel hearing last month.
She adds: 'As I perused the documents, High-class lacquer paintings much to my utter shock and dismay, I discovered that Ms Heard had in fact stolen my sexual violence conversation with her and twisted it into her own story to benefit herself.  
'This of course caused me extreme distress and outrage that she would dare to attempt to use the most harrowing experience of my life as her own narrative.'
