I’LL SHOW YOU CRAZY Divorce-battle film star’s wild moment

- By Janine Yaqoob SHOWBIZ NEWS REPORTER

JOHNNY Depp boozily crashed around his kitchen at breakfast time and ranted at Amber Heard in a video starkly highlighti­ng the strain on the Hollywood couple.

The footage shows the furious superstar arguing with actress Amber during the drunken clash a few months before their divorce began.

She films him on her mobile phone. The couple split in May following claims that Johnny, 53, subjected Amber to physical and verbal abuse in their 15-month marriage.

Wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat, the Pirates of the Caribbean star looks agitated as he storms around the kitchen banging cupboards and repeatedly screaming “mother-f****r”.

Amber can be heard asking her husband: “What happened?

“I just woke up and you were so sweet, and nice. We were not even fighting this morning. All I did was say sorry.”

Depp replies: “You want to see crazy, I’ll show you something crazy,” as he fills a glass of wine.

Worse

Amber questions him about drinking a whole bottle of wine before he appears to notice that he is being recorded.

The wine glass gets smashed before the film ends. The 90-second clip stops abruptly. Sources close to Depp claim the footage was heavily edited to make him look worse.

And the US website which published the video reports that there are parts where Amber, 30, can be seen smiling.

It is believed the video was filmed months before Amber claims Johnny, 53, hit her with a phone.

Photos emerged of the actress with a bruised face.

Soon afterwards she filed for a domestic violence restrainin­g order and a divorce.

In court papers Amber alleges she was physically and verbally abused by the actor throughout their marriage.

She also claimed cocaine and booze turned Depp into a violent monster

In the documents she says: “Johnny has a long-held and widely acknowledg­ed public and private history of drug and alcohol abuse. He has a short fuse. He is often paranoid and his temper is exceptiona­lly scary for me as it has proven many times to be physically dangerous and/or life threatenin­g to me.”

Johnny has denied all the allegation­s.

Failed

Amber arrived with her lawyer at the office of her husband’s lawyer yesterday in Los Angeles.

Reporters asked if she had leaked the video and if she had egged Depp on but she refused to answer.

Amber failed to appear on Friday for the latest divorce hearing because her lawyers said she was in London.

Earlier she denied she had released the video, saying she underestim­ated the toll that her divorce would take on her and wants to settle. Depp has reportedly listed 23 people to support his defence as he fights a permanent restrainin­g order against him.

The star, reported to be worth £ 300million, failed to sign a pre- nuptial agreement before his wedding. His villas in the south of France and Venice are now up for sale.
