The US actress Amber Heard (36) has accused her ex-husband Johnny Depp (58) of sexual abuse in the defamation process. On the second day of her testimony in court, she said Depp threatened her with a broken bottle and abused her with another bottle during an argument a month after their 2015 wedding. The incident happened in March 2015 in Australia, where Depp was filming the fifth part of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” film series.
With her statement, Heard contradicted the descriptions of Depp, who had said that the actress known from the film “Aquaman” was the perpetrator in the incident and severed a fingertip with a broken vodka bottle. According to Heard, however, she had confronted Depp about his alcohol consumption.

Depp threw a bottle at Heard
She grabbed a bottle from his hand and “threw it on the floor” between the two. “It really upset him,” she said. Depp threw a bottle at her, but “luckily it went wrong”. Then he threw cans at her. “At one point he held a broken bottle against my face, neck area, by my jaw and he told me he was going to cut my face.” He screamed that Heard had “ruined his life”.
Sobbing, she then described how Depp abused her with a bottle while repeatedly threatening to kill her. The next morning, she found Depp using blood from his finger, food and paint to write “incoherent” messages throughout the house. She said she didn’t know how his fingertip was cut off.
“I fell to the ground”
Heard then reported on several other alleged assaults by Depp. He once attacked her on a plane under the influence of drugs when she wanted to change seats during an argument. «I feel this boot on my back. He just kicked me in the back. I fell on the floor, »said Heard, who also reported on further failures by Depp and sometimes fought back tears.
