Dembrowski claimed Heard couldn’t hide her “disbelief and disgust” over the news. “Why would Dior want to do business with you?” she recalled her asking Depp. “They’re about class and they’re about style. And you don’t have style.”
Dembrowski told the court she found the moment very insulting. She perceived it as Heard “taking away that one moment” Depp felt good about himself. Furthermore, she claimed she was witness to Heard calling her brother a “fat old man.”

After seeing such displays toward Depp as the Dior insults that came from Heard, Dembrowski testified she wasn’t exactly excited about the idea of the Aquaman star joining the family. She said she was “scared” and “devastated” when she heard the news, to be more specific.
That was in part because there was no prenup in place, something she felt Heard had orchestrated by refusing to sign the documents while seemingly pushing for a wedding.
Heard contradicted that claim and said Depp refused to even look at a prenup. According to her, he told her he didn’t want one because the only way out of their marriage would be death.
