Heard accuses Depp of abuse on Gold Coast
AMBER Heard broke down in tears as she described a fight on the Gold Coast in which Johnny Depp allegedly sexually assaulted her with a vodka bottle.
Heard said the March 2015 incident began when she was shoved and “went skidding across the floors” during an argument about Depp’s drug use, adding that he had taken about eight or 10 pills of MDMA.
She said that after she shoved him off her, he responded: “You wanna go, little girl?”, and that he ripped off her nightgown.
“He was throwing these bottles, one after the other, and I felt glass breaking behind me,” she said. “He’s screaming at me that he hates me and that I ruined his life – ‘I f--king hate you, you ruined my f--king life’.”
At one point, Depp was allegedly on top of her as she said he was really hurting her.
“I could feel this pressure on my pubic bone,” she said, describing how Depp appeared to be “punching” her.
With broken glass everywhere, she said she didn’t want to move because she “didn’t know if the bottle that he had inside me was broken”.
“I couldn’t feel it, I couldn’t feel pain,” she said, adding she had thought: “Please God, I hope it’s not broken.”
“I don’t know how that ended,” Heard said, other than remembering throwing up in the bathroom and losing control of her bladder.
Later, she found her name written in dried blood on a wall.
“Look what you made me do, I did this for you,” Depp said, according to Heard.
“I figured out he was missing a finger, he kind of held it up,” she added.
Earlier, she testified that Depp, 58, called her a “sl-t” and kicked her in the back before he passed out drunk reeking of “weed and alcohol” in an aeroplane toilet over an affair he believed she was having with James Franco.
It came as she revealed images of Depp she says were taken after drug and alcohol binges to show that “rock bottom” was happening.
On the second day of her explosive testimony, Heard, 36, described a 2014 flight in which Depp allegedly assaulted her in a jealous fit of rage.
“He was mad at me for taking the job with James Franco,” Heard said of
the pair working on The Adderall Diaries.
“He hated, hated James Franco and he was already accusing me of kind of secretly having a thing with him in my past because we had done Pineapple Express.”
Heard is being sued by Depp for $US50M over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she implied he abused her. Although she did not name Depp, the actor claims her alle
gations cost him Hollywood movie roles.
On her first day of testimony, Heard recalled the first time he allegedly struck her after asking about a tattoo that was the altered name of his ex-girlfriend, Wynona Ryder.
She continued detailing other alleged instances of domestic abuse, including the drug and alcohol-fuelled private flight from Boston to Los Angeles in 2014.
