“I believe in the truth and I believe in fairness and justice,” she said.

In her testimony, Moss disputed a claim that when they dated in the ’90s, Depp had pushed her down a flight of stairs.

“I know the truth about Johnny,” Moss said. “I know he never kicked me down the stairs. I had to say that truth.”

In her BBC interview, Moss also opened up the backlash she received after photos were published of her doing cocaine in 2005.

“I felt sick and was quite angry,” she said, “because everybody I knew took drugs. So for them to focus on me, and to try to take my daughter away, I thought was really hypocritical.”

Moss wasn’t charged, but she lost a number of lucrative brand contracts and was forced to make a public apology.

“I had to apologise really, if people were looking up to me,” she said, looking back.
