London:
Film star Johnny Depp told the London High Court on Friday that his ex-wife Amber Heard or his friend had defecated in bed in what he described as an “appropriate end to the relationship”.
Giving evidence in his defamation action against the British newspaper Sun, which described him as a woman drummer, Depp was faced with four days of cross-examination following Heard’s allegations that he had physically assaulted her at least 14 times over a three-year period starting in 2013..
The court learned on Friday that one of these incidents followed a party to celebrate Heard’s 30th birthday in April 2016, said Sun lawyer Sasha Wass.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star was late because he had been to a meeting with his business manager, where he had received bad news about his finances. At their home, Depp was charged with attacking Heard when she accused him of being late, throwing him a magnificent bottle of champagne, which he was missing, and grabbing his hair.
The next day, the cleaner found excrement in their bed, something Wass said Depp had said in text messages that he found hilarious. But he told the court that this “absurd” moment was when he decided that they should end their marriage.
Absurd
“I was convinced that it was Miss Heard herself or one of her cohorts involved in leaving human excrement on the bed,” he said. “I thought it was a strangely and strangely appropriate ending to the relationship.”
When the couple reunited in May, when Depp went to look for goods in their house, an argument broke out about the feces incident, which Heard blamed on one of their dogs.
Depp denied he had spoiled for a fight and said Heard raised the matter, telling the estate manager on a phone call that it was a “harmless prank”.
In a dispute that ensued, Depp was charged with throwing his phone at his ex-wife, tapping her on the cheek, a charge he dismissed. A few days later, she asked for a restraining order against Depp and the court saw pictures of Heard with a bruise on his cheek.
Depp said the woman’s drummer charge meant he had gone from “Cinderella to Quasimodo in 0.6 seconds”.
“Global humiliation”
The court heard that he had sent a message to his business owner in August 2016 in which he called Heard a “50-cent stripper” who “implored total world humiliation”.
“I have no mercy, no fear and not an ounce of emotion, or what I once thought was love for this low-grade, dozen, mushy, useless swinging fish market “, the text, read by Wass, told me.
In four days of testimony, Depp has faced a series of allegations that he is accused of attacking Heard, whom he met in 2011 and married four years later, in violent rages of anger and jealousy when he was drunk or had taken a lot of drugs. .
The court learned that during these rages, he slapped her several times, kicked her, kicked her, kicked her tufts of hair, ransacked a house where she kept her clothes and threatened to kill her.
According to Wass, Depp had an alter ego, which he and Heard called “the monster”, which he became after excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs.
“Whenever I didn’t comply with her … she could call him the monster,” he said. “The monster has become what she wanted it to be.”
Depp rejected all of the allegations and said that Heard is lying, telling the court that she physically assaulted him, often forcing him to flee to the bathroom to hide from the confrontation. He says the claims are a hoax and are part of a file she had collected as “an insurance policy”.
Heard, who also appeared in court for Depp’s witness room appearances, is scheduled to testify next week, as will Depp’s longtime partner Vanessa Paradis and ex-girlfriend, actress Winona Ryder.
