The 37-acre property has a “complete Provencal village of stone-built houses dating back more than 200 years”. The penthouses also include an art studio. The film star has always had a penchant for eccentric homes. Depp began purchasing his Eastern Columbia units in 2007, eventually buying up an entire wing of the stunning Art Deco building. This is the place where he and Heard allege abuse, where affairs were allegedly carried out, a line or two of cocaine said to have been snorted, even an allegation that someone defecated on their bed and also the spot where Heard’s friends allegedly had easy access to long-term accommodation. He alleges she in fact abused him.
Amber Heard's lawyer spent Thursday cross-examining Johnny Depp, bringing up his past vulgar texts and drug and alcohol use.
Rottenborn asked repeatedly whether Depp got “blackout” drunk on the flight — he played audio of Depp moaning, sounding like “an animal in pain” — as he had testified to in the U.K. trial, though Depp disagreed with this description now. Rottenborn then showed a picture of Depp “passed out” (the actor called that phrasing “obscene,” saying he was merely asleep) with ice cream all over him. Rottenborn asked whether Depp remembered testifying he had abused alcohol at one point, though Depp disputed that now, saying he didn’t think he was drinking heavily. There was a somewhat tense back-and-forth about the aforementioned flight from Boston to Los Angeles, which has come up several times during the trial. The attorney asked whether Depp remembered Heard’s concerns about his substance use and referenced the 2020 British libel case that Depp lost against the Sun, which called him a “wife beater” in a headline. Depp said Heard gave him the ice cream knowing what would happen and criticized her for taking the photo in the first place, saying it was after 17 hours of filming and he was struggling with an opiate addiction at the time. Depp said in court that he was in shock from his injury and having a “nervous breakdown” when he started writing the words. Depp acknowledged sending a text to Heard’s father around the same time, writing, he “went too far in our fight. Rottenborn also pushed back on Depp’s description of an incident in December 2015, in which Heard alleged he head-butted her; Depp vehemently denied this during his earlier testimony, saying she initiated a physical altercation and that any contact occurred while he was trying to restrain her. I am an insane person.” Depp later confirmed he had also done drugs with rock singer Marilyn Manson. Throughout the day, Rottenborn spotlighted Depp’s drug and alcohol use, which the lawyer has argued was what impacted Depp’s career, not Heard’s allegations. The actor acknowledged that he did not mention Heard in such correspondence but, in at least one instance, framed the omission as a way of getting straight to the point.
