Johnny Depp accuses his former wife of instigating fights as he resumes his testimony in the trial of the defamation lawsuit he filed against her.

Depp is suing Heard for over an essay she wrote for, in which she said she had become a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Although the article never mentions Depp by name, his attorneys said it indirectly refers to allegations she made against him during their 2016 divorce.

"It was not meant to help the relationship it was meant to feed her need for conflict," Depp said."She has a need for conflict, she has a need for violence. It erupts out of nowhere."According to Depp's account of their relationship, Heard would pick fights and escalate them with demeaning language. He also said that she would sometimes"strike out" whether it was a slap or a shove or throwing an object in his direction.

In court filings before the trial, Heard said she hit Depp only in self-defense or in defense of her younger sister,In a call back to his testimony from Tuesday, Depp said he would often be the one to walk away from their arguments because it was a strategy he learned as a youth. He told the court the day prior that his mother was physically and verbally abusive, and this father would often sit through it calmly until he eventually left his wife when Depp was a teen.
