Johnny Depp

The scandalous litigation between ex-spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues. Yesterday, Depp appeared in court again and testified against Amber Heard. Spletnik collected the main thing from the statements of the actor.

Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife for defamation for $50 million over an article in which he described his experience of domestic violence. In connection with the scandal, Depp’s reputation was seriously affected, he lost many roles. Hurd filed a $100 million counterclaim accusing Depp of defaming Depp to ruin his career. The first meeting took place on April 12, and this week the stars reunited in court. So far, the testimony of Johnny and the witnesses on his part have been heard: they are trying to refute the fact that the actor is an abuser. The court has yet to listen to Hurd himself and his witnesses.

Johnny still claims he has “never hit Mrs Heard or any other woman in my life,” but arguments often arise between him and his ex-wife. According to him, Depp wants to restore justice primarily for children – 22-year-old Lily-Rose and 20-year-old Jack, who has been hurt by media reports. Player says:

It wasn’t the first time the details of the actor’s childhood were discussed during the meeting. She and her older sister (who is also her manager) Kristi Dembrowski said that Johnny was repeatedly subjected to physical abuse from their mother. In her statement, Depp described the mother as “brutal and offensive”:

As the actor himself said, he tried to avoid conflicts and forget about himself. At the age of 11, I tried my mother’s “nerve drugs” for the first time, at the same age I discovered marijuana. Depp doesn’t deny that he later used illegal drugs and alcohol to “hide from the ghosts” that haunted him since he was a teenager. But as the actor assures, there were long periods of abstaining from any doping. Knowing about her difficult childhood and history of drug use, Johnny believes Amber Heard is using all this to make himself seem dangerous.

The court also explained how Depp’s relationship with Heard began. The actors met on the set of the 2011 movie The Rum Diary, but they later started dating during the promotional tour of the tape, according to Johnny:

Depp said he was embarrassed by his words that he wanted to mess with Hurd – the actor sent similar messages to his friends, and this was known to the press:

Amber, according to Johnny, “needs conflict and violence.” The actress says that during scandals she often acts the same way her father once did when arguing with her mother—she locked herself in the bathroom. And yet the fights came: Shortly after the wedding, Hurd threw two bottles of vodka, one of which cut off part of the skin on her finger, according to Depp. This information was previously confirmed by the actor’s personal doctor. Why did Johnny stay in this relationship? He answers like this:

According to Depp, Heard threatened to kill himself if he left several times:

According to Depp, she finally decided to break up with Heard after her mother’s death. The actors divorced in 2016, Amber accused Johnny of physical and psychological abuse. Depp had tried to sue the press before, but lost the court to The Sun newspaper. After the scandal, the film studios refused to cooperate with the star. In particular, Depp lost roles in the sixth episode of Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Before the current case began, Amber wrote on social media that she had always loved her ex-husband, and in an article on domestic violence she “didn’t name him, she just talked about the price women pay when they speak out against men.” in power.”

The trial will last about six weeks. Famous witnesses are expected to testify in the upcoming hearings. Including Elon Musk and James Franco, who are in a relationship with Amber Heard.
