 'Parade of insults': Johnny Depp locked himself in the bathroom to avoid abuse, court hears




Fairfax County, Virginia: Johnny Depp was so tortured by Amber Heard during their relationship that he would frequently secure himself in restrooms to escape the "perpetual motorcade" of put-downs and misuse, which included having his finger cut off and cigarettes hit all over.

However, the Hollywood entertainer has indeed told a pressed court in northern Virginia that the steady battles with his now ex could never provoke him to hit her, in opposition to what she has asserted.



As he showed up for the second day as an observer in his slander preliminary, Depp gave attendants a definite and standing-up knowledge of his turbulent relationship with Heard. Depp said it included bottles being tossed at him, cigarettes being smothered all over, and drugs being kept while he was attempting to detox from narcotic enslavement.

One now-notorious episode included Heard cutting off Depp's finger while he was in Australia shooting part of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean establishment.


The court heard that the pair had a warmed contention that quickly swelled into "franticness and mayhem" after Depp's legal advisor had addressed Heard about the requirement for a postnuptial understanding.

"The house that they had leased for me in Australia was somewhat of a maze with a lot of rooms," he told the court. "I think I wound up securing myself around nine rooms and restrooms as she was beating on entryways, shouting vulgarities, needing to have an actual fight."

At the point when it seemed Heard had at long last withdrawn, Depp, said he went down the stairs to a bar and presented himself with shots of vodka after being clearheaded for quite some time since "I was a wreck."


Heard found him and began shouting at him once more, he said, before snatching the jug from him and flinging it at his head. After it crashed behind him, he got a bigger container from behind the bar and presented himself with one more shot.

"She was hurling affronts left, right, and focus, and she then, at that point, snatched that jug and tossed that at me," Depp told the court.

"It connected and it broke all over. I genuinely didn't feel the aggravation at first by any stretch of the imagination. I had no worries at all. What I felt was heat… as though something was dribbling down my hand, and afterward, I peered down and understood that the tip of my finger had been cut off."


"I've never had a mental meltdown, yet that was presumably the nearest that I've at any point been. Nothing seemed OK, and I knew to myself and in my heart that this isn't life. Nobody ought to need to go through this."

Depp is by and by suing Heard for maligning, guaranteeing she harmed his standing when she expounded on homegrown maltreatment in a 2018 Washington Post assessment piece, in which she said she had turned into the "individual of note addressing homegrown maltreatment".

While the article never specifies Depp by name, his legal counselors contend it in a roundabout way alludes to claims of aggressive behavior at home that Heard made against him in 2016 when the couple separated.

Depp - who was dropped from the Pirates of the Caribbean establishment days after the piece was distributed - said the commentary harmed his profession and notoriety. He is suing his ex for $US50 million.
