Johnny Depp scoffed at the notion during court testimony that his constant quarrels with ex-wife Amber Heard would ever prompt him to hit her, and insisted that her allegations devastated his career.
A former personal assistant to Amber Heard says she never saw the actress suffer any physical abuse at the hands of Johnny Depp, and said Heard once spit in her face when she asked for a raise.
Depp also gave a graphic description of a final fight as the couple drifted toward divorce, accusing Heard and her friends of pretending that he was assaulting her. Soon after, Heard sought a restraining order and was photographed with marks on her face. Depp met Heard on the 2011 film"The Rum Diary." The two married in 2015 and she filed for divorce a year later.
"There were times when I would just go and lock myself in the bathroom or a place where she couldn't get to," Depp said. She never mentioned Depp by name, but Depp's lawyers said it was a clear reference to accusations Heard made in 2016 when the couple divorced and she sought a restraining order against him.
