Mr Rottenborn quoted Depp from his UK trial against The Sun, during which he said that “I recall painting on a lampshade, on a wall, on a mirror. “And if you’ll notice, my right hand is in my pocket, so I wasn’t participating in the festival of ice cream,” Depp added. He said his fingers were resting on the edge of the bar and that the large vodka bottle “made contact and shattered everywhere”. Mr Rottenborn asked Depp about his drug use, to which Depp said he “found” drugs at an early age. All I had to do was send the monster away and lock him up!!” She also told Depp to “grow up”, calling him a “baby”. “I’m sorry that I didn’t hit you across the face in a proper slap,” she added. “The character of Captain Jack was more like a swashbuckler type that would swing in shirtless and be the hero.” And I know that sounds perverse and obtuse, but the fact is, some people search for weaknesses in people,” he said. The star said from the witness stand that his drug and alcohol use had been “an easy target” for the actress to hit after their marriage ultimately broke down. “And then with Heard he was triggered and they engaged in what I saw as mutual abuse.” “He remained a gentleman.”

WARNING: This story contains details of intimate partner violence. Johnny Depp testified in his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard last week.

In the past, Heard and Depp had referred to their relationship as "passionate and volatile, but always bound by love." In response to a video where Depp could be heard acting erratically, he said, "I did assault a couple of cabinets, but I did not assault Ms. Heard." The Canadian Women's Foundation's Signal For Help is a silent, one-handed gesture to use in a video call to indicate that you are at risk of violence at home. "Privacy is considered a privilege today, not a right. If you're in immediate danger or fear for your safety or that of others around you, please call 911. Both Heard and Depp have accused the other of physical and psychological abuse. "I don't think people are looking for ethics here. Overall, 80 per cent of survivors said that they did not report their abuse to police. "I do think it's engendering public sympathy for him, because people like him as a performer." However, either party can leverage the presence of cameras to their advantage, Todd said. Court TV did not respond to an interview request in time. Heard has filed a countersuit for $100 million US.

The trial has turned into a spectacle in which Depp has testified about everything from taking pills as a child to a near mental breakdown.

But a judge ruled that Depp was within his rights to bring the case in Virginia because The Washington Post's computer servers for its online edition are located in the county. Heard's attorney repeatedly asked Depp whether he was responsible for drawing a penis on a painting inside his home shortly after the actor said Heard severed his finger. Depp said he used the resulting blood to write on his walls and recount lies in which he had caught Heard. At the hospital, Depp said he lied to protect Heard and told the doctors that he had injured himself. "It was sort of a rapid-fire, sort of endless parade of insults," Depp said. He said she once threw two bottles of vodka at him, the second of which exploded and severed his finger to the point where bone was exposed. Depp said Heard's allegations of his substance abuse have been "grossly embellished" and that he was never out of control during that time period.

Johnny Depp faces 4th day of cross-examination in Amber Heard ... (Globalnews.ca)

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, through their lawyers, are attempting to paint each other as the most toxic person in their former relationship.

Heard is crying in the audio recording and told Depp that her reputation has been ruined. 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. He can be heard telling Heard, “I don’t want to be with you.” Heard pleads with Depp not to continually leave. Depp testified he felt a “blinding hurt” when his ex-wife penned the Washington Post article at the centre of this trial. “No one deserves to live like that, not her, not me, not anyone,” he said. He claimed the messages about burning Heard’s body were references to “dry British humour,” namely Monty Python. In the message Depp says, “She will hit the wall hard!!!! A text message from Depp to his agent was also read in court. More texts from Depp, this time to his doctor in 2015, were submitted as evidence. He’s maintained that Heard was an instigator in the relationship, who would push him to become embroiled in profane arguments. I’m not asking you to have a bloodbath over walking away.

Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial live updates: Depp said Heard 'as ... (New York Post)

Follow the New York Post's up-to-the-minute coverage of Johnny Depp's defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard as the trial continues in its third week.

In other snippets, played by the actress’ attorney Ben Rottenborn, Depp calls Heard a “c—t” and she references a time when he “beat the shit” out of her. In the same text, read in court, Depp called Heard “a malicious, evil and vindictive c—t” who had an “obsession with herself” and was “so desperate for success and fame.” The message came after the now-infamous 2015 fight with Heard in Australia that left Depp with a severed finger. Johnny Depp once texted his doctor that Amber Heard “is as full of s–t as a Christmas goose,” it was revealed in court today. “For example, the text that is about burning Ms. Heard is – it’s directly from Monty Python in a sketch about burning witches and then drowning the witches,” Depp said. For instance, Depp tried to explain away a text to a friend saying he hoped Heard’s “rotting corpse was decomposing in the f–king trunk of a Honda Civic” as a reference to British comedy troupe Monty Python. Court is back in session after the lunch break and Johnny Depp is still on the stand. Depp — famous for playing drunken pirate captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise — responds, “I’m never getting clean and sober.” Next to take the stand is Ben King, the house manager for the rental where Depp and Heard stayed in Australia in March 2015 — the scene of an alleged brutal fight that left him with a severed fingertip. Meyers asked Depp how he had responded after Heard goaded him in one clip to, “Tell the world, Johnny tell them, Johnny Depp, I, Johnny Depp, a man, I’m a victim too of domestic violence.” Ben King — who acted as a butler to Depp and joined him in Australia while the actor was filming a “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie — said that the house was essentially trashed after a brutal fight between the ex-couple that ended in Depp losing the tip of a right middle finger. The house manager for an Australian property Johnny Depp and Amber Heard rented in 2015 has testified about finding part of the actor’s severed finger there.

Some have even commented that Heard is mirroring Depp's style of clothing at the court to intimidate him.

Johnny Depp trial testimony continues: Recordings with Amber ... (USA TODAY)

Johnny Depp is taking the stand against ex-wife Amber Heard for the fourth day as his libel lawsuit continues.

"It was like someone hit me in the back of the head with a two-by-four." "These characters should be able to have their proper goodbye," Depp said of the decision. I was at the end; I was broken," Depp said. "I've been in the racket of Hollywood since 1984," Depp responded. Depp has been on the stand in Fairfax County Circuit Court since Tuesday afternoon. In the column, she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse. Rottenborn also honed in on texts Depp sent to colleagues and friends about his relationship, which continued to show Depp's struggle with substance abuse. Rottenborn also asked Depp to confirm whether Heard was the only person who had a problem with his drinking. "Why would I ruin the only thing that I was really good at in my life besides my children?" "I would excuse myself from the situation," Depp said. He said Heard had requested to meet up with him in San Francisco to finish a previous discussion. "How can I trust you that it will be a few minutes when you've done this in the past and disappeared for hours?," Heard says in the recording.

Johnny Depp Tries Again To Rewrite Vile Texts & Alcohol Abuse ... (Deadline)

UPDATE, 10:24 AM: Johnny Depp wasn't being threatening in his texts, but simply using “abstract humor,” the former Pirates of the Caribbean star told a ...

Heard’s attorney also referred to a text from August, 2016 that Depp sent to his agent in which he wrote, “I can only hope that Karma kicks in and takes the gift of breath from her.” Throughout, Rottenborn has tried to show that Heard was grappling with Depp’s substance abuse. In another clip, Depp is heard referring to one of their arguments as a “bloodbath.” Other clips were unintelligible. In one, Heard tells him, “Go put your cigarette out on someone else.” Depp says to her, “Shut up fat ass.” In court, Depp said that Heard had a penchant for “grossly exaggerated” comments. Depp, on the witness stand, tried to interject his own opinion of them, calling them “hit pieces” in some cases orchestrated by Heard’s publicity team. “It’s important to know that none of it was ever intended to be real,” Depp went on to say of the 2013 texts that detailed drowning and killing Heard and having sex with her dead body, among others notions. Later, Rottenborn, amid repeated objections from Depp’s side, attempted to run through what has been a central argument of Heard’s team: That the Washington Post op-ed, which doesn’t mention Depp, also doesn’t contain any of the details of his alleged domestic abuse. He also tried to flip the narrative of his alcohol intake despite the seemingly overwhelming evidence presented by the defense in their cross. In pre-trial filings Bettany had also been called as a witness, as have Elon Musk and James Franco. However, it seems the WandaVision actor will not be testifying remotely after all, we’ve learned. Even under follow up examination from his own lawyer, a much more conservatively-dressed Depp today seemed unable to recall details of communication with others and once again returned to the long winded answers that characterized his initial testimony last week. “The abuse thing we gotta deal with that,” Depp said at one point in the recording, as the allegations had been made public. Depp admitted he did throw up in response to the stress of his relationship with Heard. While he admitted last week that Heard was instrumental in his 2015 detox from opioids, Depp also painted his ex-wife as a potential trigger to a relapse.
