Heard’s snap of Depp & ice-cream
AMBER Heard showed Johnny Depp a picture of him slumped in a chair covered in ice-cream, saying: “Look at what you’ve become... it’s pathetic”, a court heard.
Heard, 34, claims it showed ex Depp, 57, was out of control and hooked on drink and drugs during their tumultuous relationship.
But Depp yesterday insisted she was the aggressor and that he was the real abuse victim.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star told the High Court that “it seemed like everything she would accuse me of was something she had done to me”.
Depp made the claims yesterday during his fifth day of evidence in his libel action against The Sun over an April 2018 article which labelled him a “wife beater”, an allegation he strenuously denies.
Stephen Deuters, European president of the actor’s production company, Infinitum Nihil, and his former assistant, gave evidence and said he never saw Heard with injuries and claimed it was the actress who subjected Depp to “years of abuse”.
In his written statement, he said that, during the period in which Depp is alleged to have been abusive, he saw Heard “on many occasions” and added: “At no point did Ms Heard ever mention any physical abuse and I never saw evidence of any injury to Ms Heard.”
During the actor’s final morning in the witness box, his barrister David Sherborne said it had been suggested by Heard that she had started taking pictures and videos of her injuries so she could show
TOGETHER Pair in California, 2016 the star what he had done to her the next day as he would not remember details of their fights.
He asked Depp if she had ever shown him any of the photos before the case began and the actor replied: “No”.
Depp then said the only picture she had ever shown him was him falling asleep holding the icecream. Talking about the image
Johnny arrives at High Court yesterday taken in August 2014, Depp said: “I was preparing to go to the Bahamas to detox from the opiates, and I had been working 17 hours a day prior to that.
“She asked me to hold her tub of ice-cream. I was obviously very tired, falling asleep. She took that… and showed me the next day and said ‘Look at what you’ve become… it’s pathetic’.”
Mr Sherborne also asked about an argument after Heard’s 30th birthday party at the couple’s LA home on April 21, 2016.
The actor is accused of throwing a bottle of champagne at Heard, grabbing her by the hair, and pushing her during a row, after he arrived home late for the celebrations.
Depp denies the allegations saying he went upstairs to read a book to avoid confrontation.
He accused Heard of throwing a “haymaker” punch at him during a row after the party, hours after he had learned during a business meeting that he had lost $650million (£514m) and that his former business managers “had not paid the Government my taxes for 17 years”.
Heard, married to the star for four years from 2013 to 2017, is set to take the stand later this week as the trial continues.
