LIBEL CASE

Ex-employee says Heard kicked off rows Depp never ‘violent or unkind’ court hears

away from arguments.” He added: “I want to make clear I did not see any violence at any time.”

Mr King said before taking the job he was told Depp was teetotal, so he was “surprised” to see “a relatively large” amount of wine at the London home.

During their stay in

2014, he says he did not see Depp drink, but he believed Heard

“would regularly drink at least one or two bottles a night”.

In Australia in 2015, he claims he was called to a house the couple were renting where there was a “significant amount of damage”.

He says he found

Depp’s severed finger-tip on the floor of the bar area while clearing up broken glass.

Depp has been accused of subjecting Heard to a “three-day hostage situation” and trashing the house, which he denies. He claims his finger was severed when she threw a bottle, which she denies.

A photo of the scene shown in court pictured blood splattered on the floor.

Mr King claimed he did “not recall” clearing up a broken phone. Depp earlier said one was broken during the row.

Heard later asked Mr King: “Have you ever been so angry with someone you lost it?”, he claims.

Heard’s former assistant Kate James said the actress acted as if she was “above the law” after “smuggling” her dogs into Australia.

She “did not care about throwing any- one under the bus, if it meant saving her skin”, she alleges. The case continues.
