Amber Heard’s testimony, part 2.
He had a lot of knives and a gun collection. Turquoise, in the southwest. When Johnny Depp likes something he does it a lot. I bought the knife, I thought it was romantic.(Amber bought it at the beginning of their relationship, he wasn’t abusing her at that time).
Johnny is so generous, can be overly generous (when asked about her friends). Extravagant trips, extravagant gestures with my friends. Showered them with generosity. Flew people here and there. Incredibly generous.
Depp started “to disappear” for periods of time and was drinking, she says. He started criticising her clothes and her work as an actress. Heard says that Depp would say to her: “That’s really what you’re wearing, kid? Oh, I see."Describing one low-cut dress she wore to a red carpet event, she says he told her: "I think the whole world saw that, kid. That’s how they’ll remember you.” (the dress)
Amber Heard goes on to tell the court that things started to “blow up” in her relationship with Johnny Depp.This started with him throwing things, she says. “He loves to smash up a place."One time he "threw this glass across the kitchen” and it shattered behind her, she says.
Johnny Depp hit her - she asked him what his tattoo said on his arm (used to say Winona that he turned into Wino). He told her it said “Wino”. She laughed. She says Depp slapped her across the face.
Amber Heard says after Johnny Depp slapped her, she didn’t want to leave him, didn’t want that to be the reality. She says it broke her heart thinking she needed to leave the “best thing that ever happened to me.”
Heard says she confided in her mother about the “control” and psychological abuse from “the very beginning”.She says she later “opened up about some of the violence”. She says she wanted to talk to someone about how “scary” it was.
“He backhands me,” she tells the court. “He wears a lot of rings. I remember just feeling like my lip went into my teeth and it got a little blood on the wall.
Johnny Depp had slapped her and she walked away, which "made it worse” and they “got into a shouting match”.Heard says she “could tell” he was going to hit her again so she threw a vase in Depp’s direction, but then he grabbed her by the arm and held her on the floor, “screaming at me.
She says Depp started "howling” and then grabbed Boo, a teacup yorkie, and held the dog “out of the window of the moving car”.
Amber Heard is now asked to tell the court what happened in Hicksville, California, in 2013. She tells the court that Depp proceeded to carry out what he called a “cavity search” and said he was looking for his drugs. He started moving his fingers around inside me.. I just wanted this to be over.“
"He’d pass out in his own vomit, he’d lose control of his body… everyone would clean up after him, I cleaned up after him. This man lost control of his bowels and I cleaned up after him. His security cleaned up after him, changed his pants… he would pass out in his own sick.”
Heard and Depp were on a flight to Russia - the “first and last time I ever decided it would be a decent idea to do drugs with Johnny”. She says they took MDMA on the plane “which was as stupid as it may sound”. (summer 2013).
The flight attendant was talking to them and at one point leaned into Heard’s seat, the actress tells the court.Depp grabbed the woman’s hand and told her not to touch Heard, she sayd. She again says Depp told the woman he could break her wrist - in a similar incident to what happened in Hicksville.
When they got to their hotel room, Depp was making accusations and then “shoves me”, Heard tells the court. “At some point, Johnny whacks me in the face. I don’t remember feeling pain or awareness of my nose… I just remember wanting him to realise what had happened.”
Depp threw himself off the boat in a “face, chest-forward way… it looked a little scary” Lily-Rose was crying and “I’m holding her, comforting her”, Heard says. Heard says Depp started accusing her of “like, telling on him” and calling him a “drunk” in front of his kids. She says she hadn’t done this as she was “trying to protect Johnny” and didn’t feel it was her place to do that.“He slams me up against the side wall… slams me up by my neck,” she says. “And holds me there for a second and tells me that he could f****** kill me.” Depp called her an “embarrassment” she claims, and told her she made him feel sick.
