Depp, Heard split was really a messy business
JOHNNY DEPP has accused former wife Amber Heard of deliberately soiling their bed in revenge for turning up late to her 30th birthday bash.
The troubled actor claims the incident sparked the violent argument that led to the breakdown of their marriage.
Depp had stormed out of the couple’s Los Angeles penthouse after discovering the pile of poo between the sheets after Heard’s party in April 2016, a friend of the Pirates of the Caribbean star told UK paper The Daily Mirror.
Heard blamed the deposit on her dog Boo but a housekeeper who cleaned up the mess suggested the droppings were too large to have come from the little pooch.
Depp, 55, believes there is “strong, photographic evidence that connected Amber to the faeces”, the friend said.
But a representative for the actress denied any malicious intent, insisting it was an unfortunate accident.
In May 2016, a month later, the couple had another argument about the poo which turned violent and Depp allegedly threw Heard’s mobile phone, hitting her in the face.
Heard withdrew an application for a restraining order after their divorce settlement, in which he agreed to pay her US$7million, which she donated to charity. Depp denies he was ever violent to Heard.
