The actress said the actor repeatedly subjected her to “punching, slapping, kicking, head-butting and choking” during their marriage.
LONDON — Amber Heard has accused ex-husband Johnny Depp of abusing her both physically and verbally while he was allegedly bingeing on alcohol and drugs, claiming that at various times during their tempestuous relationship she feared for her life.
“When I felt my life was threatened, I tried to defend myself and that started to happen years into the relationship, years into the violence,” she told the court. “Before that, I didn’t even try to defend myself, I just checked out.” “I was worried about Johnny’s life and this is the context of this argument, one of many that ended in a physical altercation of sorts,” she said.
“There was an argument in a hotel room in Tokyo that resulted in Johnny kneeling on my back and hitting me on the back of the head,” she said. Heard told the court that she loved Depp when he was himself but that she was “terrified of the monster.” Heard is facing questioning over 14 allegations she made of suffering domestic violence by Depp in various locations between 2013 and 2016 — which The Sun’s publisher News Group Newspapers is relying on in its defense of the April 2018 article.
