Johnny Depp ends his testimony in the defamation trial against Amber Heard

The defamation trial facing Johnny Depp Y Amber Heard has become the absolute protagonist of the Hollywood press. The possibility of following him as a director, through YouTube thanks to the channel Law & Crime Networkhas turned the unpleasant cause into a popular party, made even more rare by the fiery defenses that the acolytes of each of the stars make of their idols, regardless of what reality seems to be showing in both cases.

Today the testimony of Depp, a plaintiff who accuses Heard of defamation for an opinion article published in The Washington Post in 2018, has ended. “My goal is the truth because it killed me that all those people I had known over the years thought I was a fraud, “said the interpreter.

In that article, Heard never mentioned the actor’s name but did stress that she was a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Taking into account the turbulent relationship that she had with Depp since 2009, which ended in the request for a restraining order in 2016, it did not take long for her to publicly know the name of the “abuser”.

Depp believes that all of this, plus the actress’s constant and direct accusations about the mistreatment she suffered, began a smear campaign against him that has made him a “pariah” within the industry. Arguing that what he tells about his abuse and substance use are “blatantly embellished” stories, he attributes as proof of the effects that Disney’s announcement about his departure from the saga has caused on his career.Pirates of the Caribbean‘.

During these days, Depp has recounted all kinds of violent episodes with Heard in which he was the victim, including a bloody story about how his then wife threw two bottles of vodka at him, cutting a piece of his finger with the explosion of the second. that left the bone was exposed.

In addition to (for some reason) explaining how he decided to use the blood from his finger to write messages on the wall, he has also made reference to the controversial comeback from 2014 in which he is accused of assaulting the actress and in which he wrote to Paul Bettany (with whom he was working on ‘Transcendence’ and ‘Mortdecai’ at the time) talking about how he was drinking champagne, whiskey, and vodka with Red Bull. According to his version, on that plane he only had a glass of champagne and two oxycodone pills before locking himself in the bathroom so as not to be harassed by his partner.

It was also to Bettany that he wrote, “Let’s drown her before we burn her!!! I’m going to fuck her burnt corpse afterward to make sure she’s dead.” Depp, in addition to emphasizing that part of the phrase was nothing more than a reference to a gag of the Monty Pythonhas apologized claiming: “in the midst of the pain I felt, I went to dark places”.

Now, it’s Amber Heard’s turn.
