Depp called a train wreck in 3-day Aussie rampage

Johnny Depp, who returned to a London courtroom Thursday to fight a British tabloid’s abuse claims against him, strongly denied attacking his ex-wife during a “three-day ordeal of assaults” in Australia, where he was filming the fifth “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie several years ago.

“I vehemently deny it and will go as far as to say it’s pedestrian fiction,” he told the Royal Courts of Justice in London during the third day of evidence in his libel suit against The Sun.

The actor sued the tabloid’s publisher, News Group Newspapers, and its executive editor, Dan Wootton, after they ran an article in 2018 describing him as a “wife beater.” The paper says the story was based on 14 allegations made by Amber Heard between 2013 and 2016, when she and Depp were together.

Some of those accusations stem from the former couple’s 2015 trip to Australia. The trip ended with the two Hollywood stars trashing a rented house following a series of arguments that Heard claims turned violent at times.

The model and actress, who’s also attending the trial, said Depp smashed glass bottles in the house, broke a window, screamed at her, threw her onto a table, hit her head against a refrigerator, snorted cocaine and swigged Jack Daniel’s from the bottle.

The “Sweeney Todd” actor acknowledged that the couple “wrecked” the house and he drank alcohol to “numb himself,” but he denied taking drugs and accused Heard of causing most of the damage to the property.

“That is completely untrue,” The Sun’s lawyer, Sasha Wass, told the court.

“Thank you, but replied.

He also said Heard cut off his fingertip after throwing a vodka bottle it’s not,” Depp at him, an allegation she denies.

Wass brought photographs to the court showing mirrors covered in graffiti and blood. Depp admitted to writing on them by dipping his bloody fingertip in paint.

Depp, 57, and Heard, 34, have publicly accused each other of physical and emotional abuse for years. The bitterly divorced couple officially ended their two-year marriage in 2017, a year after she obtained a restraining order against him.

The “Aquaman” actress is not a target in the lawsuit, but she’s expected to testify in the coming days.

Besides the alleged assaults, Heard has accused him of dangling her Yorkshire terrier out a car window, threatening to microwave the dog and slapping her in the face for laughing at his “Wino Forever” tattoo, which he had changed from “Winona Forever” after ending a relationship with actress Winona Ryder.

Depp admitted this week to having a “rather skewed” sense of humor, but he said the microwave comment was a joke and denies ever hitting her for laughing at his tattoo.

He has also accused Heard of suffering “extreme mood swings,” possibly defecating on his bed once and not supporting his battle against his addiction.

Wass also detailed an incident in which Depp allegedly became violent during a trip to his private island in the Bahamas in 2014, when he was trying to fight an addiction to opioids.

Depp denied assaulting the woman, but he said her claims that he was “screaming” and “flipping” during that trip could be true.

“I remember that I was in a great deal of pain and uncontrollable spasms and such,” he told the court. “So flipping could be a word that was correct.”

Depp said he was going through the “lowest point” in his life and acknowledged throwing objects at times, but he said it was better than “taking it out on the person that I love.”
