DEPP ‘SLAPPED WIFE, DANGLED DOG’

JOHNNY Depp held Amber Heard’s dog out the window of a moving car and joked about putting it in a microwave, a court was told.

A blockbuster libel case in London’s High Court over a newspaper article that called Depp a “wife beater” also heard he slapped his ex-wife on a private jet in 2014 after becoming jealous when she was cast in a movie with James Franco, calling her a “go-getter slut” and a “whore”.

Depp, pictured, clarified in court on Wednesday his witness statement that said he did not consume drugs or alcohol on the flight from Boston to Los Angeles in 2014 where the argument about Franco was alleged to have taken place.

He had said that he had been drinking before getting on the flight. But he was shown a text message that he had sent to a friend that contradicted his statement. “I’m going to properly stop the booze thing, darling,” he wrote to actor Paul Bettany after the flight.

Depp has been suing The Sun newspaper, claiming the case is about clearing his name.

The Sun claims it has evidence of 14 cases of domestic abuse, which it argues prove the original article was true. The case continues.
