Vasquez took no prisoners when cross-examining Heard this week, as she didn't hesitate to command attention and respect when defending her client. For starters, Depp's attorney questioned Heard about the $7 million from their divorce settlement she pledged to donate but never did.

When she asked Heard if she had "donated the $7 million — donated, not pledged — to charity," Heard replied, "I use 'pledge' and 'donation' with one another. They're the same thing."

Retorted the attorney, "I don't use it synonymously." The Aquaman actress then claimed that paying over time instead of all at once is "how donations are made," but Vasquez stated, "Respectfully, that's not my question."
