Dr. Shannon Curry Johnny Depp

Forensic Psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry was hired by Johnny Depp’s legal team to evaluate Amber Heard. The defamation trial between Depp and Heard began on 11 April in Fairfax, Virginia following Depp’s lawsuit against his ex-wife in March 2019. Depp is arguing that she defamed him in a December 2018 op-ed published in The Washington Post titled “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change”.

Dr. Curry took the stand on April 26, 2022, saying that she met with Heard on “two separate dates” as she conducted her evaluation – 10 and 17 December 2021. She said they spent 12 hours together and that “the result of Ms Heard’s evaluation supported two diagnoses – borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder”.

Dr. Shannon Curry Husband

Is Dr. Shannon Curry married? She is married to her husband named Ty, according to an Instagram post on the Curry Psychology Group page. The couple married in April 2021 in a ceremony at a courthouse. The since-deleted Instagram post says: “When Shannon was nervous about it Ty said to her, ‘It’s ok, we are just going to choose to be married today and every day.'”

On April 26, 2022, Dr. Shannon Curry’s husband, Ty, was mentioned during the cross-examination of Dr. Curry at the defamation trial between actor Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard.

Dr. Shannon Curry indicated that she wanted to “stop talking about muffins” after Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft questioned her about her husband buying baked goods for Heard.

“You said you brought muffins from your husband, and you gave those to Ms Heard, correct?” Ms Bredehoft asked.

“May I clarify what occurred so that we can stop talking about the muffins?” Dr Curry said. “What happened was that I was getting ready that morning, I frequently bring muffins to the office.

“My husband did happen to know that there was going to be a celebrity client coming in because on the morning that that occurs, which often occurs, we have to actually clear the office and move the staff to the other office.”

“So yes, on the one hand, he was aware of that. I was getting ready, I asked him to go to the bakery near our house and pick up the muffins for me because I was running late – he often has to do that because I often do run late,” Dr Curry said.

“He brought the muffins back to the house, I brought them into the office, Ms Heard and I enjoyed the muffins together.”

“I think I made a comment to her along the lines of ‘my husband got these for us today’, meaning he purchased the muffins we are now enjoying them because of him,” she added.

“Why did your husband get the muffins for Amber Heard?” Ms Bredehoft later asked Dr Curry.

“He did not get the muffins for Amber Heard,” she said with a chuckle.

“He knew you had a high-profile client and you were preparing for a very long time and you asked him to pick up the muffins, correct?” Ms Bredehoft asked.

“I asked him to pick up the muffins for me, yes,” Dr Curry said.
