Born Amber Laura Heard on April 22, 1986, to Paige Parsons and David Heard, she grew up outside of Austin, Texas, in Manor.
Depp also shared that the wedding was a night that featured "dinner, dancing and drugs." He smoked his "drug of choice," marijuana, while Heard and her pals had a "communal bag of MDMA."
"When you start to realize you’re in a relationship with your mother — and I know that sounds perverse and obtuse — but the fact is some people search for weaknesses in people," Depp told jurors. He said that he had shared his deepest traumas from his childhood with Heard and claimed she used that against him.
Violence would often ensue, sometimes with a slap or a shove from Heard or his wife throwing a television remote control or a glass of wine in his face, Depp alleged. When the divorce news broke, Heard's and Depp's teams issued a joint statement. Depp said he had already left town for New York to prepare for a tour. When asked if he had approved the statement, Depp said he believed it was drafted by lawyers and that he "wasn’t given much of a choice."
Depp began to address Heard's accusations in detail Wednesday. Heard has said the first time she was assaulted was when Depp slapped her in 2013 after she made fun of a tattoo he had. The tattoo once said "Winona Forever" when he was dating actress Winona Ryder that he altered to "Wino Forever" after they broke up.Johnny Depp is suing his ex-wife Amber Heard in a defamation lawsuit after she published a 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post alleging abuse.
Depp testified he took two oxycodone pills — an opiate to which he admits he was addicted at the time — and locked himself in the plane bathroom and fell asleep to avoid her badgering.
