Actress Amber Heard was reportedly grilled for seven hours by estranged Johnny Depp's legal team when she gave her deposition at the weekend.

The 30-year-old "Magic Mike XXL" star was questioned under oath by her estranged husband Johnny Depp's legal team on August 13 in relation to her claims Depp was abusive to her, and she was asked in "great detail" about claims of past violence, reported TMZ.

Heard was quizzed about a number of alleged incidents between her and the 53-year-old actor, not just the row they had on May 21, which signalled the end of their marriage after Depp allegedly threw an iPhone at her.
 

During the questioning from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star's lawyer, Blair Berk, Heard was asked why five concierges, two police officers and a number of security guards saw no signs of any sort of injuries following the alleged altercation in May.

The "Danish Girl" star insisted she was injured and couldn't account for what other people saw.

The deposition had been delayed a number of times, with Amber held up in the UK and missing a hearing on Friday August 12 morning, while the previous weekend she had spent nine hours at Johnny's lawyer's offices but was not questioned.
