This post contains allegations of domestic abuse.
Few celebrity trials have received as much media attention as Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s.
She believed substance abuse had driven Depp to a violent breakdown.
The court ultimately granted the restraining order.
They featured a violent conversation where Depp wrote, “Let’s burn Amber!!!”
I will f*** her burnt corpse afterwards to verify she’s dead."
Baruch also claimed that Heard’s stories had caused Depp and his loved ones tremendous turmoil.
He uses words I don’t use and you probably don’t use either."
He alleged she threw the bottle against a cabinet close to his head.
But later, he admitted to lying to protect his then-partner.
Heard’s team later shared text messages where Depp claimed to have cut his finger off.
According to Heard, Depp threw her on a ping-pong table and struck her repeatedly after physically overpowering her.
House manager Ben King testified that he found the ping-pong table collapsed after the fight.
Heard also alleged that Depp had stripped her naked by tearing her nightgown.
Per her account, Depp threw bottles and screamed obscenities at her.
Throughout her testimony, Heard recalled several occasions when Depp physically and verbally abused her.
Johnny Depp’s explosive testimony
Johnny Depp strongly denied ever physically abusing Amber Heard.
Instead, he claimed that she often humiliated him, to aggravate the actor enough to fight.
He said, “It could begin with a slap.
It could begin with a shove.
Depp, too, claimed that Heard had hit him several times and been verbally abusive.
He claimed to have overheard several fights where Heard degraded her then-husband.
Heard admitted to hitting Depp once in an act of self-defense because he allegedly tried to harm her sister.
However, Moss testified that Depp never pushed her.
However, Heard denied it, saying, “I don’t think that’s funny.
I don’t know what grown woman does that.”
She elaborated that the previous day’s physical altercation with Depp hadn’t left her in a playful mood.
In one recording presented in court, Heard says, “You didn’t get punched.
I’m sorry I hit you like this, I didn’t punch you.
I did not f******* deck you.
I f****** was hitting you.”
“I don’t know what the motion of my actual hand was.
I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you.
I’m not sitting here b******* about it.
That’s the difference between me and you.
You’re a f****** baby.”
She also admitted to starting a physical fight.
Heard was heard ridiculing Depp by talking down to him.
In another recording, she belittled Depp: “See what the jury and judge thinks.
Tell the world, Johnny.
Tell them, Johnny Depp, a man, I am a victim too of domestic violence.”
The actor added, “I know it’s a fair fight.
See how many people believe or side with you.”
Heard also secretly recorded a video of Depp where he’s enraged as he smashes cabinets.
But by then, Depp notices the camera and disposes of it.
