Johnny Depp takes the stand in Amber Heard trial, says claims have ... (USA TODAY)

A week into the trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, Depp, 58, is the first half of the divorced couple to take the stand and testify against his former spouse.

“She’s going to give the performance of a lifetime in this courtroom.” Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future." But he said the evidence will show that Heard gave herself the injury to ruin Depp’s reputation. "Because Johnny Depp brought this case, all of this is going to come out." "I didn't deserve that nor did my children nor did the people who have believed in me for all those years." He also pointed out that the article in question never even mentions Depp's name. In the column, she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. She was understanding. It’s very strange when one day you’re Cinderella, so to speak, and then in 0.6 seconds you’re Quasimodo." She was funny. She was kind. She was smart.

Johnny Depp took the stand in court to testify against ex-wife Amber Heard, who he accuses of ruining his reputation and career with false accusations of ...

Bettany, who had several private and disturbing text messages with Depp read in court in 2020, will testify as part of Depp’s team. Depp claims the injury occurred in 2015 when Heard allegedly threw a bottle at him. “It started out with little things like that,” he said. “To escape the chaotic nature of what we were living through.” Depp said he’s “not some maniac who needs to be high or loaded all the time,” and described times of his life where he’s gone completely sober for months at a time. One day, when he came home from work he took off his shoes himself and said Heard became “visibly shaken, upset, that I had broken her rules of routine.” He also said that he was addicted to an opiate similar to oxycontin, called roxycontin. The initial court case began when Depp filed a $50-million defamation lawsuit over a Washington Post op-ed penned by Heard in late 2018 about domestic abuse. “In our house we were never exposed to any type of safety or security. Depp revisited the story he shared earlier in the day about Heard removing his boots, and also recalled Heard trying to control his bedtime, demanding that he go to bed at the same time as her. He said it was prescribed to him for an injury he sustained while on the set of one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and he was addicted to the painkillers for approximately five years. The day concluded with Depp answering questions about the beginning of his relationship with Heard. He spoke about when they met on the set of The Rum Diary, and how they shared both an on-screen and off-screen kiss, despite each being in relationships.

'Never did I myself reach the point of striking Ms. Heard': Johnny ... (CBC.ca)

Actor Johnny Depp testified on Tuesday that he never struck his ex-wife Amber Heard, and was challenging her accusations in a $50-million US defamation case ...

Heard accused Depp of domestic abuse after filing for divorce in 2016. Depp's lawyers have said they filed the case in Fairfax County, outside the District of Columbia, because the newspaper is printed at a facility there. A London High Court judge ruled he had repeatedly assaulted Heard and put her in fear for her life. The witnesses testified that they were aware of arguments between the couple but had not witnessed physical abuse by Depp toward Heard. He filed a $50-million lawsuit against Heard in 2018. His two children from a previous relationship were in high school at the time, he said.

Johnny Depp on stand: Ex-wife Heard's allegations 'heinous' (Coast Reporter)

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Actor Johnny Depp told jurors Tuesday that he felt compelled to sue his ex-wife Amber Heard for libel out of an obsession for the truth ...

He also said he took his mother’s “nerve pills” when he was a kid. In the article, Heard referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” “The characterization of my ‘substance abuse’ that’s been delivered by Ms. Heard is grossly embellished,” Depp said. Heard's lawyers, who have filed their own countersuit against Depp, said nothing in the article libels him. So far, Depp's friends, family and employees have testified that Heard was the aggressor in the relationship, physically attacking him on multiple occasions. She became upset, he said, when he broke an established routine in which she took off his boots for him when he came home. He said there were little things, though, that gave him indications of a rocky relationship ahead. After one long answer, he admitted: “I forgot what the original question was.” She was kind. She was smart. Indeed, he acknowledged his meandering style, particularly as it relates to his writing style. It’s very strange when one day you’re Cinderella, so to speak, and then in 0.6 seconds you’re Quasimodo.”

Johnny Depp v Amber Heard: Actor says he never hit a woman (BBC News)

The actor describes his childhood of physical abuse as he takes the stand in a Virginia court.

And generally it was me," he said. On Monday, a nurse who was hired to treat Mr Depp's drug addiction and attended the couple's wedding testified that she witnessed Ms Heard "try to instigate" conflict with her former husband on several occasions. The jury has heard evidence presented by the celebrity ex-couple's former therapist, who described how Mr Depp and Ms Heard engaged in "mutual abuse", as well as from medical workers who treated Mr Depp as he was detoxing himself from opiates. Mr Depp began his testimony saying that Ms Heard's claims are "not based in any species of the truth". The trial has focused so far on Mr Depp's demeanour and whether he was ever verbally or physically abusive towards Ms Heard. Lawyers for Mr Depp have accused his ex-wife, an actress, of giving the "performance of her life" in her descriptions of alleged abuse. "I never struck Ms Heard in that way, nor have I struck any woman in my life," he testified, adding that "her accusations sort of permeated the industry".

Johnny Depp : drogue, disputes... Dernières révélations du procès... (Linternaute.com)

JOHNNY DEPP AMBER HEARD. Johnny Depp et Amber Heard s'affrontent dans un nouveau procès en diffamation depuis le 11 avril. Les dernières révélations ...

Après avoir recueilli les témoignages de l'actrice et des proches des deux parties, le juge Nicol a jugé que les mots et qualifications employés par le Sun dans leur article étaient "substantiellement vraies". Johnny Depp a également fait la une des journaux sur sa manière de dépenser sa fortune. Artiste confirmé aux multiples casquettes, Johnny Depp ne cesse de diversifier les rôles et apparaît là où l'on s'y attend le moins ( La Neuvième porte, From Hell, The Tourist, Rango). Malgré son succès, l'acteur reste fidèle au réalisateur Tim Burton pour lequel il livre une fabuleuse prestation en chapelier fou dans son adaptation d' Alice au Pays des Merveilles, puis en vampire ensorcelé dans Dark Shadows. Il retrouve aussi régulièrement le cinéaste Gore Verbinski pour la saga Pirates des Caraïbes, Rango et Lone Ranger qui ne rencontrera pas le succès escompté en 2013. Le film Edward aux mains d'argent marque le début d'une très belle collaboration avec le réalisateur Tim Burton, qui fera de lui son acteur fétiche, en enchaînant avec les films Ed Wood en 1994, Sleepy Hollow, la légende du cavalier sans tête en 2000, Charlie et la chocolaterie en 2005, Les Noces funèbres, ou encore la comédie musicale Sweeney Todd. "Un monstre". C'est en ces termes que les avocats d'Amber Heard ont qualifié Johnny Depp lors du procès en diffamation qui l'oppose à son ex-femme, le 12 avril 2022. Cela suit un modèle de ses affirmations élaborées et erronées qui ont continué à changer et à évoluer au fil du temps dans le but de la valeur de choc hollywoodienne dont Amber a maîtrisé et utilisé pour exploiter un mouvement social sérieux." Il intègre le groupe The Kids, et fait la première partie de la tournée d'Iggy Pop. Deux ans plus tard, les musiciens vont se produire à Los Angeles, mais le groupe ne remporte pas le succès tant attendu. Et l'affrontement des deux ex-époux est retransmis en direct des US. La chaîne américaine Court TV se charge de diffuser sur son site ce procès en direct de Fairfax. Celui-ci n'est cependant pas accessible sur des plateformes comme Youtube. Johnny Depp et Amber Heard s'accusent mutuellement de diffamation, Johnny Depp ayant porté plainte contre son ancienne épouse après une tribune publiée dans le Washington Post en 2018 dans laquelle elle se disait victime de violences conjugales sans le nommer. Les avocats d'Amber Heard ont de nouveau affirmé que Johnny Depp avait "agressé verbalement, psychologiquement et physiquement" leur cliente. "J'aimerai toujours Johnny et cela me fait beaucoup de mal d'avoir à ressasser les détails de notre vie passée ensemble devant le monde entier", a-t-elle écrit. L'ex-infirmière personnelle de l'acteur a également dit avoir été témoin de nombreuses disputes du couple, affirmant qu'Amber Heard était régulièrement à l'origine des esclandres et l'accusant de provoquer son ex-mari.

Actor takes stand in defamation trial and denies ex-wife's domestic abuse claims, saying 'I have never struck any woman in my life'

“She slapped him because he was being incoherent and talking about being with another woman.” Wyatt testified that he accompanied Depp, his former wife Vanessa Paradis and children to their home in the Bahamas on several occasions. “I was bitten by the snake, and before you know it the monkey was on my back,” he said. You’re a whore.” Depp filed a $50m lawsuit against Heard in 2018. Heard has said Depp probably cut his finger when he smashed a telephone. “It would stir up some rather unusual reactions from her,” he said. Several witnesses have characterised Heard as the abusive party. The actor has accused Heard of throwing a bottle at him, severing the finger. From the beginning of our relationship, she was wonderful, and then things just started to change … or reveal themselves, I think is a better way to put it.” But he had periods of sobriety, he said. Nor have I ever struck any woman in my life.”

"At this time, I recognize the ongoing support I've been fortunate to receive throughout these years, and in these coming weeks I will be leaning on it more than ever." Heard posted a note in advance of the current defamation trial on her verified social media accounts, writing "I never named [Depp], rather I wrote about the price women pay for speaking against men in power. He said, however, "I believed in the character wholeheartedly." in the UK against News Group Newspapers and Dan Wootton, executive editor of The Sun, over an article that claimed Depp was violent toward Heard while they were together. "One day you're Cinderella so to speak and then in zero point six seconds you're Quasimodo," Depp said of how his career turned after he was accused of abuse. He also alleged that his first experience with taking controlled substances occurred when he was roughly 11 years old and would take his mother's prescription pills "to escape the chaotic nature of what we were living through."

Johnny Depp takes the stand in defamation trial against Amber Heard (NBC News)

Actor Johnny Depp took the witness stand Tuesday in his legal battle against his former wife Amber Heard, whom he accuses of lying about his abusing her ...

Heard was granted a protective order in May 2016 after she alleged that Depp hit her in the face with a cellphone. Anderson said Depp told her that Heard “gave as good as she got.” He said he detoxed from the drug prior to his relationship with Heard. During cross-examination, Anderson clarified that her understanding was that Heard “fought back” after Depp became physical. Depp addressed Heard's allegations regarding substance abuse, saying he began taking his mother's "nerve pills" at the age of 11 and proceeded to self-medicate with substances over the years as a coping mechanism for trauma. Little time was spent on his relationship with Heard, who he felt was the perfect partner for him at the beginning of their relationship. "Because I've never appeared loaded or high or any of that ... no one would have ever known." "Then you started to notice other little tidbits and things that come out," Depp said. Anderson also testified that Heard, in a session conducted separately from her husband, said Depp hit her and that she showed her bruises. Although the article never mentions Depp by name, his attorneys said it indirectly refers to allegations she made against him during their 2016 divorce. The trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, is expected to take weeks. Depp told the court Tuesday that he was "obsessed with the truth" and, though he argued with his ex-wife, he never hit Heard.

Depp takes stand, says Heard's abuse allegations are untrue ... (The Washington Post)

In defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, actor Depp says allegations have damaged his career and reputation.

(Depp lost a libel case in the United Kingdom in 2020 against the Sun when a headline called him a “wife beater,” though that has largely not come up during the U.S. trial.) “I am ashamed of some of the references I made. They kissed in a scene and felt a spark; later, he said, they kissed again in his trailer. “I can’t say that I’m embarrassed because I know that I’m doing the right thing.” He suddenly became much more recognizable; fans started trying to trespass onto his property and he had to hire tighter security. Depp said he first tried “nerve pills” at age 11 when he saw they calmed down his mother, and tried every drug imaginable by age 15. Speaking slowly and delivering lengthy answers at times, Depp delved into his childhood and talked about his mother being physically violent and verbally abusive. A murmur rippled through the crowd when his attorney called “John C. Depp” to the stand. In his testimony, Depp said he tried to be a private person and feels very exposed with these intimate details being spilled in public. The actor is suing Heard for $50 million for defamation over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post calling herself a survivor of domestic abuse, which Depp says caused further damage and irreparably destroyed his reputation and career. “It’s never been for the party effect. Depp’s testimony comes after four days of the plaintiff’s witnesses who have delved into some of the most personal aspects of his and Heard’s lives and marriage.

Johnny Depp is expected to take the stand today and talk about an incident he says ended the marriage.

The current trial is in Virginia, so it remains to be seen if he has better luck getting a second bite of the apple. Depp showed up late and decided he would bail, which he says enraged Heard. Amber has said Johnny threw a magnum wine bottle at her before leaving. Depp believes either Amber or one of her friends is the culprit. Johnny is suing Amber for $50 million ... claiming she lied when she accused him of physically abusing her. He said he never struck Heard or any woman in his life. Johnny says he was addicted to Roxicodone at one point -- an opiate -- but eventually kicked it entirely and detoxed. He claims she would become visibly shaken and upset when parts of her routine were broken. He said he felt the need to stand up against Heard's claims because he felt responsible to stand up for his kids, who were getting approached about the allegations. JD noted he started doing drugs when he was 11, popping his mother's nerve pills ... and trying different substances as he grew up. He also testified that she would dictate his bedtimes, which he found weird. He's set to take the stand again tomorrow. Not too long after that, though, Depp says things started to look bad.

During their opening arguments last week, Ms. Heard’s lawyers told the jury that they would be presenting evidence of “graphic and horrifying” abuse against Ms. Heard, including instances of sexual assault, which Mr. Depp denies. On Tuesday, Mr. Depp provided an account not unlike the one he gave in London two years ago in an earlier defamation case he brought against The Sun newspaper for calling him a “wife beater” in a headline. In court papers, Mr. Depp has alleged that Ms. Heard physically abused him throughout their relationship, including by throwing objects at him. Mr. Depp’s lawsuit claimed that Ms. Heard’s op-ed “devastated” his once flourishing acting career. She has said Mr. Depp hurt his finger while smashing a phone against a wall repeatedly.

In that trial, a judge found that there was “overwhelming evidence” that he had assaulted Ms. Heard repeatedly during their marriage and that he had put her “in fear of her life.” Mr. Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for an op-ed she wrote saying she was a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Ms. Heard maintains that he abused her repeatedly.

"They were in high school and I thought it was diabolical that my children would have to go to school and have their friends or people in school approach them with the infamous People magazine cover with Miss Heard with a dark bruise on her face." "I felt it my responsibility to stand up not only for myself in my instance, but stand up for my children who at the time were 14 and 16," the dad of Lily-Rose Depp, 22 and Jack Depp, 20, with ex Vanessa Paradis, testified, NBC News reported. "It's been six years of trying times," Depp told the court. I didn't want anybody to believe that I had done them wrong or that I had lied to them or that I was a fraud." Kipper said he didn't know how Depp had gotten injured back in March 2015 when he cleaned the actor's wound in Australia. Depp previously claimed Heard "threw a large glass vodka bottle" at him and that the bottle hit the countertop where he had his hand and caused his finger to shatter. Kipper also testified that the actor told the ER doctor he'd cut his own finger with a knife. Depp's longtime doctor David Kipper participated in a deposition that was played in court on April 18. Although the article never mentioned Depp by name, his attorneys previously said in court documents that Heard's op-ed was all part of an " elaborate hoax." She will get on the stand and she will tell you that. "I thought he had been well controlled," Anderson said according to Variety when discussing Depp's past partners. "You will hear in the most graphic and horrifying terms about the violence that she suffered," Rottenborn said about Heard's upcoming testimony.

Johnny Depp Trial Reveals Sordid Culture of Celebrity Enablers (Variety)

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's defamation trial has exposed the darker and parasitic side of movie stardom.

In one message to Baruch, Depp lamented that “that c— ruined such a f—ing cool life we had for a while.” In its early days, the trial has felt like sifting through the wreckage of a royal court after its ruler has been deposed. For her part, Heard framed her 2018 op-ed as a lesson in power. But after Depp lost a similar case in London in 2020, his public reputation — and career — are in tatters. The goal was to explain Depp’s instinct to hide from conflict. Depp is suing his ex-wife, Amber Heard, for $50 million for describing herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse” in a 2018 Washington Post opinion piece.

Johnny Depp takes stand against Amber Heard for 2nd day in ... (Globalnews.ca)

During his first day on the stand, Johnny Depp detailed his troubled childhood, substance use and the early days of his relationship with Amber Heard.

In Depp’s testimony on Tuesday, the actor said he wants the public to know his side of the story. “In our house, we were never exposed to any type of safety or security. The initial court case began when Depp filed a $50-million defamation lawsuit over a Washington Post op-ed penned by Heard in late 2018 about domestic abuse. Depp also claimed Heard had threatened suicide in the past. He said that in the early days of their relationship Heard seemed “too good to be true,” but things began to deteriorate after about a year when Depp said Heard began to show signs of controlling behaviour. When questioned about his childhood Monday, Depp described in detail the “violent” and “cruel” abuse he and his siblings suffered at the hands of his mother, Betty Sue Palmer.

But Depp said Heard refused to abstain, even when he asked her to help him in his sobriety.

Depp sued after Heard made an indirect reference to those accusations in a 2018 op-ed piece she wrote for The Washington Post. “Why would I take such great offense to someone making fun of a tattoo on my body?

'Why would you hit someone?': Johnny Depp testimony continues in ... (USA TODAY)

Johnny Depp's rehashing of his and Amber Heard's relationship continued Tuesday in court, as the former couple battles in a vicious libel lawsuit.

"I didn't deserve that nor did my children nor did the people who have believed in me for all those years." I think that it was an easy target for her to hit." "Ms. Heard was unable to be wrong," Depp said at the beginning of his testimony. "The characterization of my 'substance abuse' that’s been delivered by Ms. Heard is grossly embellished," he added. "I stayed, I suppose because my father stayed," he added. Depp revealed his mother had attempted suicide a few times, something that Heard had allegedly threatened. In arguments, Depp said he would remove himself from their arguments by leaving the room or locking himself in the bathroom, for instance, to avoid being confrontational. In the column, she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. But, all in all, it was just constant." There were small indicators early on that suggested rocky times ahead, he said. I can only say that I stayed through all that, I'm sure it's somehow related to my father remaining stoic as my mother would beat him to death. "Ms. Heard in her frustration and rage would strike out.

“I’ve never struck a woman in my life and certainly not going to strike a woman if she decides to make fun of a tattoo that I have on my body.” “I’ve never used the word ‘party’ in my life.” Before delving into his relationship with Heard, Depp described his addiction to the opioid Roxicodone after getting hurt on set while filming the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean. He eventually went through withdrawal during his relationship with Heard, Depp said in his first day of testimony. “The way this is heading, I could see the jurors just being like, ‘Look she was a victim of domestic violence. “I was sort of not allowed to be right, not allowed to have a voice,” Depp said of his arguments with Heard. “So at a certain point, what enters your mind is, you start to slowly realize that you are in a relationship with your mother, and I know that that sounds perverse, obtuse, but the fact is some people [search] for weaknesses in people …” The fights and arguments escalated to become violent, he said. Depp continued to explain his relationship with substances on day two of testimony. “I am obsessed with the truth.” On day two, he appeared in court in a three-piece gray suit and immediately dove into his relationship with Heard. He described their “heightened” arguments as “circular” with no way in or out.
