Why did Attorney Ben Chew fist pump?

Recently, Depp’s court attorney Ben Chew chose to speak out about the viral fist pump. When Heard’s attorney mentioned model Kate Moss, the ex-girlfriend of Depp, for testifying for the court, Chew was seen doing a little fist pump in reaction. “There was an instance where Miss Heard did actually admit to punching Johnny,” explained Chew. Her reasoning for the action was that she was afraid Depp would have otherwise pushed her sister down the stairs ( in the context of how he pushed his ex-girlfriend earlier-girlfriend). He further added, “I lost my composure for a moment and did a fist pump ’cause I knew that was not true.” Fortunately, Moss testified rightfully and brought light herself.
