She tried to present said evidence at the defamation trial and all of it was thoroughly debunked as a combination of lies, edited evidence (which likely only got presented because her lawyers were lied to about their veracity by Amber), or really false claims of the existence of evidence but would not provide to the court and/or her lawyers decided that it would damage her case more than it was worth presenting i.e. fabrications.
While she was on the stand she changed her story multiple times, in many cases during examination, in one sitting. She didn't just lie about aspects of the case, it was basically everything presented. Given the overwhelming documented nature of the falsehoods she presented, and Actual Malice (i.e. shown intent to manipulate), her claims of abuse cannot be taken with the same level of merit. Like FanIn80 said, she literally and verifiably lied in a manipulative manner about all claimed instances of abuse by Depp. The only verified claim against Depp's case was a statement made by his former legal team about Amber staging a hoax in an incident with police that couldn't be fully verified.
