It is not known whether the pronunciation of the escalation code word at the time was able to end the dispute. The couple accuse each other of many physical assaults in their marriage from 2015 to 2017. A second tape recording was also played to those present on Monday. A disagreement was heard, with Depp yelling at Heard: “Shut up, you’re not my teacher and you’re not my mother.” Heard is said to have flinched when she heard Depp scream on the recording. She said of the recording, “Nothing I did calmed him down. I never knew what version of Johnny I was dealing with. His alcohol and drug use dictated his behavior.”
