The thick silver rings Johnny Depp wanted to wear, which hurt him even more when he allegedly assaulted Amber Heard, he told her Wednesday in a Virginia courtroom as part of a week -long libel trial .
Through a $ 50 million lawsuit, Depp accused his ex-wife of lying about his violence allegations filed in the couple’s brutal divorce in 2016 when he tried to restrain her.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star testified in the last days of last month, claiming Heard actually abused her in their relationship, in an accident by throwing a glass bottle that broke and broke the tip of his finger. He repeatedly denied all allegations of insult.
Wednesday was the first time the court heard directly from Herd how Depp used his money and charm to hide his shocking behavior.
“And that’s another thing [an] Horrible, horrible to come out and conquer, and it’s hard to see the Johnny I love under it. And I didn’t tell anyone. “Nobody was honest with him,” Herd testified of the people who managed Depp’s career.
“He’ll lose his own vinegar, lose control of his body and then clean everything up. I cleaned it up afterwards,” he said, adding that he once saw how they replaced Depp with a dirty pair of pants.
Herd recounted a strange situation when he was going to an event with Depp and, while on the road, the actor allegedly took a cup of Yorkie tea and stopped him from the car window while he was “screaming.” While another unnamed person was in the vehicle, Herd said no one responded.
He enjoyed the witnessing hours, sometimes even stopping to talk. Depp spent most of his time looking at the table in front of him; He was probably writing.
The actors were briefly married in 2015 and 2016, met during the making of the 2011 film “Rome Diary,” in which Depp starred.
When asked about Depp’s first shot, Herd told the court Depp was drinking and he suspected he was using cocaine because it contained a “vintage jar” of the drug. It was the winter of 2011.
“He slapped me in the face and I laughed. I smiled. Because I no longer knew what else to do. I thought it was just a joke. “It must be a joke because I don’t know what’s going on.”
He said, “Do you think this is fun? Funny do you think, Dzu? Do you think you are a funny dog? ‘ “And I was hit again,” he said. Depp hit him a third time, he lost his balance. The tapes were heard before the trial, in which Depp shouted at Herd and called his names.
“I knew it was wrong and I should have given up,” Herd said of the alleged attack. “And that’s what broke my heart, because I don’t want to leave him.” Then Depp started to cry, Herd testified and on his knees assured him that he would never be hurt again.
Depp mentioned his addiction as if he were a “monster” he killed and said he thought he “let go of the Fucker,” according to Herd.
On several occasions, he said Depp hit him and broke things close to him, seemingly angry because Herd saw someone else. Herd said Depp protested in the low suit and commented, “Is he really wearing this, kid?” He described a pattern where Depp would “explode” and then “disappear”, returning after waking up.
Later in their relationship, Herd says Depp began to hide alcohol and drugs from him, giving him an educated guess of what his condition was.
“Johnny is very different in terms of speed on Johnny Opiates. And Johnny on opiates [is] “Johnny Adreral is very different and Cocaine Johnny is very different to Quaaludes Johnny,” Herd said.
In one particularly horrific episode, Herd said that one night Depp got angry, took off his clothes, put his hand on his body, and “kept looking for the hole.”
“He said he was looking for his drugs, cocaine, cocaine,” she said.
The alleged incident took place in a separate “trailer park” where he was hired, and when the manager reviewed the damage Depp would cause to the area, Herd said he was angry – until Depp spoke to him, which he fixed. all. Finished.
Screening is expected to continue on Thursday.
Already in dramatic trial, testimonies from former employees and law enforcement agencies were presented, as well as psychiatric evaluations of the actors.
Hurd took the position after his legal team introduced a clinical psychologist, Dr. Down Hughes, who said Hurd suffered from panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Hughe also confirmed the violence to the intimate partner, Herd said he endured.
Depp’s legal team filed before the trial Just psychologist Dr. Shannon Karim, who confirmed that she believes Herd is “sharply raising” her complaints about post-traumatic stress disorder. Karim said that after spending 12 hours with Hurd and reviewing the actor’s videos, as well as reviewing his medical records, Hurd developed borderline personality disorder and astringent personality disorder, not post-traumatic stress disorder.
