Actress Amber Heard stood by to provide details of some episodes she went through with Johnny Depp. He did so within the framework of a trial facing the former couple and before a jury. Depp’s tearful comment was heard sexually assaulted him with a bottle of wine in anger caused by alcohol.
Depp sued Heard for $ 50 millionin a civil litigation for defamation, for an article published in December 2018 in Washington Post where her ex-husband described himself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse”. The actor’s lawyers said Depp was defamed, though he did not mention his name.
The incident reported by the actress took place in March 2015 in Australia, while Depp was filming the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film.
That violent night ended with Depp cutting off the tip of his middle finger and he was writing vulgar messages in blood on the walls of the house. Actor Depp denied hurting him and said he cut off his finger when Heard threw him a bottle of vodka.

Move in front of the jury
Heard was affected by the graphic depiction of the sexual assault in front of a jury in Fairfax, Virginia. And he said Depp was immediately angry when he arrived in Australia, about a month after the couple married in February 2015.
He accused her of sleeping with co-stars in his filmswith Billy Bob Thornton and Eddie Redmayne, who accompanied him in filming the danish woman. He denied the accusations.
The fight escalated to the point that he threw it on a ping-pong table and broke the table, Heard testified. later, He took off his nightgown and Heard said he was naked when it attacked him. “I couldn’t get up. I thought he was hitting me. I could feel the pressure on my pubic bone,” she said.
The actress said that at the time, she thought his fist was attacking her, but then she discovered it was a bottle, one of many that broke in the argument. “I looked around and saw so much broken glass. I just remember thinking, ‘Please, God, please don’t break,'” she said.

unique details
Heard added strange details, allegedly after the attack, such as seeing his torn nightgown used to wrap a raw steak left outside. He said that when Depp’s security team finally arrived to take care of his severed finger, it was still trying to write vulgar messages to him, but this time, urinating on the wall.
Much of the testimony at trial was a repetition of a civil case Depp filed against a British newspaper. In that case, a judge ruled against Depp in 2020 and discovered that, in fact, Heard had been attacked several times by the actor. However, the sexual assault allegations outlined by Heard were not made public in the UK trial.
Heard told the jury about the photos he took of Depp, in 2013, where he fainted. He allegedly took the photos because the actor could no longer remember what he did when he was drunk and he denied it happened while he was unconscious. “He won’t remember, or he’ll deny it. There’s no one to back me up,” she said, justifying the photos.
Another of the incidents narrated by the actress in this judicial statement was what happened on a plane trip in May 2014 from Boston to Los Angeles. According to Heard, Depp was jealous and angry because he was doing a movie with actor James Franco that included a kissing scene. “I hated, I hated James Franco,” he said.

plane attack
Once Depp boarded the private plane, he started getting angry about Franco, he said. He stood up and walked away, but Depp followed him, slapped and kicked and no one on board intervened on his behalf. “I felt his boot on my back,” he said. “I fell to the ground and said nothing, did nothing. You could have heard a pin drop. I just remember feeling really embarrassed.”
Depp, who testified earlier in the trial, described the incident. He denied that he had drunk too much before boarding the plane and stated that Heard started an argument and chased him until he felt compelled to hide in a bathroom.
But a recording made by Heard at the end of the incident also came out at trial, in which Depp appears to be moaning and blabbering inconsistently.
In addition, a text message sent by Depp to his friend Paul Bettany shortly after the flight was shown to the jury, in which he said that “stop drinking properly” because the trip turned out to be “ugly”. The message ends by saying: “Sure, I have too much of a headache to vent my anger on the person I love for little reason.”
According to Heard’s testimony, Depp physically and sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, usually when drunk or high. For his part, Depp denied he was harmed, but Heard’s lawyers said his denials lacked credibility, in part because you can’t remember what you did when you fainted.
Depp said Heard exaggerates a lot when it comes to his drinking and that he tolerates alcohol well. Depp’s friends, family and employees stood up and supported his claim.
For Heard that’s part of the problem: that his team covers him up when a violent episode occurs and allows you to proceed without acknowledging the consequences of your drinking.
