Johnny Depp Details Amber Heard's Shocking Abuse, 'Need for Violence' During Marriage

Johnny Depp deacribed ex-wife Amber Heard as a turbulent spouse who mistreated and demeaned him.

The actor, 58, has filed a lawsuit against Amber Heard over an article she wrote in which she claimed she was a victim of domestic violence. Johnny Depp has denied any wrongdoing.

Heard, 35, has responded by filing a $100 million complaint against him. Johnny Depp testified that he sensed "absolute hate" from Heard. After two days of testifying, her attorneys began cross-examination on Wednesday.

Johnny Depp Explains Why He Stayed in Marriage With Amber Heard

On Thursday, his testimony will continue for a third day. According to BBC, Amber Heard frequently issued a "sarcastic, demeaning, aggressive, violent, toxic spew," and the two clashed frequently after their first year together worsened.

Heard confessed that she "did initiate a physical fight" based on the recording of the former couple which was handed to the jury on Wednesday. Depp also spoke about his now-famous episode with his ex-wife, in which he discovered "human feces" on his side of the bed at the flat he shared with Heard.

She has disputed that she or any of her companions left human excrement on the bed, calling the concept "extremely filthy" during Depp's defamation trial in the UK in 2018. In the highly watched civil trial in Virginia, jurors have heard two very different tales of Depp and Heard's relationship.

Johnny Depp's lawyers have worked hard to depict Depp as a physically and sexually violent partner who is prone to drug and alcohol binges, according to Heard's lawyers. On Wednesday, Depp addressed his drug and alcohol addiction, stating he became hooked to prescription opioids after being prescribed Roxycodone for a back injury.

Heard withheld medicine that would have reduced withdrawal symptoms from the actor while he was detoxing from the drugs, according to the actor. She claimed it was not time for the next dose. The actor claimed he cried and pleaded as he rolled around on the floor. "I hate having to admit it, but that was perhaps the lowest point of my life."

Depp stepped up and acted out a violent altercation in which Heard said he broke her nose, recounting another occurrence. Depp denied headbutting and said the collision was unintentional, Daily Mail reported.

Johnny Depp Says He Has Lost "Nothing Less Than Everything"

The 'Pirates of the Carribean' actor said Heard had shown him a bloody tissue, but when he went to throw it away, he discovered it was nail paint. Depp alleged that Heard threw a can at his head while he was on his island in the Bahamas with his daughter Lily-Rose in December 2015.

He informed the court that Heard broke their divorce agreement by saying she would send her $7 million settlement to the ACLU and Children's Hospital Los Angeles although she wasn't permitted to reveal where the money was going.

When Depp reacted by paying the first of the settlement payments directly to both charities, he said, "She got into a rant about how I should should be charged double the $7 million, I should be charged $14 million because she felt I was seeking for a tax benefit."

Depp claimed the accusations cost him "nothing less than everything" when describing the effect.

Moreover, the 'Edward Scissorhands' star told the jury his finger was cut when Amber Heard threw a handle of vodka at him in 2015. The pair was on their way to Australia to shoot the fifth movie of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise when Depp claims Heard threw two bottles of vodka at him, the second of which caused the wound that required surgery.

Spectators in court were appalled by photos of Depp's severed digit, with one commenting, "Ew yuck." One participant, who had spent the whole morning knitting green yarn socks, only halted when Depp described the horrific details, as per NY Post.

Being with Amber Heard reminded Johnny Depp of his childhood when he was abused by his mother. Depp said that Heard threatened to commit herself "several times" after they got into heated disagreements, claiming that it provoked him because his mother committed suicide after his father abandoned her.
