Heard has accused Depp of physically and sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions before and during their brief marriage.
Depp sued after Heard made an indirect reference to those accusations in a 2018 op-ed piece she wrote for The Washington Post.
Depp testified he took two roxycodone 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. “I don’t know what a nervous breakdown feels like, but that’s probably the closest I’ve ever been,” he said. Taking the stand for a second day, Depp said things began to change in his marriage when he felt that he “was suddenly just wrong about everything” in Heard’s eyes.
“Why did I stay? I stayed I suppose because my father stayed … I didn’t want to fail,” Depp said. “I wanted to try to make it work. I thought maybe I could help her. I thought maybe I could bring her around.”
