Johnny Depp described in detail the explosive battle he and Amber Heard had in March 2015 in Australia, where the top of his finger was cut off when Hurd claimed to have thrown a bottle of vodka at him.
The couple was in Australia while Depp was making his fifth film about the Pirates of the Caribbean. Hurd claims he cut off the tip of his finger with a knife during the dispute, and her team called it a “three-day hostage situation” in which Depp was repeatedly violent.
However, Depp took the position on Wednesday and told the court that Hurd was angry with him after she met with his lawyers to discuss after the marriage agreement. Hurd had claimed that one of her lawyers was making fun of her – she later found out that was not true.
Depp said: “All I could do was try to calm her down and say I didn’t want to fuck her or embarrass her. It didn’t work, it escalated and turned into madness, chaos, violence. “
“She was angry, she was possessed. When I tried to get away, as usual, because she hit me with brutal words. Sorry for my language, but I remember it wasn’t nice. Somehow they call me a lawyer’s kiss or a puppy who doesn’t fight for her or doesn’t stand up for her. I tried to get out of the situation, but to no avail.
“The house they rented for me in Australia was quite a big place. I think I ended up locked up in at least nine bedrooms, bathrooms that day, while she slammed doors and broadcast obscenities and wanted to have a physical quarrel.
Depp described how Hurd left after locking himself in a room and then going downstairs to the rest room, where there was a pool table and a bar.
He said: “I went behind the bar, grabbed a bottle of vodka and a shot glass, sat at the bar and poured myself two or three hard shots of vodka, the first taste of alcohol in a long time.
“When she went down to the bar and found me there, she started screaming that you were drinking again, the monster and all that.”
“She walked over to me, reached out and grabbed the bottle of vodka, stepped back and threw it at me,” Depp said, signaling to throw. Moving his hand over his head, he said, “He just walked right past my head and crashed behind me.
“I got up and went behind the bar and there was a bigger bottle of vodka, the kind with the handle. I grabbed it and sat down, opened the bottle and poured myself a shot and drank it.
Miss Hurd insulted from left to right and in the center. She grabbed this bottle and threw it at me. Depp said he used the bench in front of him to show the jury where the bar was and leaned back in his chair.
He said, “I leaned back in my chair. The first bottle went, I took the other bottle, I shot. He takes a second bottle. I am in this situation again. My hand is so on the edge of the bar, bent.
“She threw the big bottle and it came in contact and crashed everywhere and honestly I didn’t feel any pain at all, I didn’t feel any pain.”

“What I felt was warmth and I felt something dripping on my arm, and then I looked down and realized that the tip of my finger had been cut off. I watched my bone stick out, “Depp said
“The fleshy part of the inside of your finger.” The blood was just pouring out and at that moment I think I got into something, I don’t know what it feels like to have a nervous breakdown, but it’s probably the closest I’ve ever been. Nothing made sense. I knew in my mind and heart that this was not life. This is not life. No one has to go through that, “Depp said

“This feeling of being in the middle of a nervous breakdown, I began to write with my own blood on the walls, small reminders of our past, which were essentially lies she had told me, lies I had caught her in.”
Looking at a picture of himself on a stretcher, Depp said, “It’s me in the emergency room. I see a detail I had forgotten.
“Miss Hurd had taken my cigarette out of the ashtray and put it out on my face.”
Asked who the finger was, Depp raised his right middle finger and said, “This is the funniest.”
Showing it to the jury, he said, “You see from the original wound, all those bones were crushed, it seemed.”
Depp said that while Depp was injured, Hurd shouted “white noise at a very high frequency”, adding: “I was in shock.”
Depp was taken to the emergency room, where he lied to doctors and said he broke a finger on some accordion doors because “he didn’t want to get Miss Hurd in trouble.”
Depp was shown a picture of his finger taken at the hospital, which he said was “the remains of my finger.”
Putting on his prescription sunglasses, he looked at a picture of him lying on a stretcher in a hospital.

Johnny Depp returned Wednesday to continue his testimony about how his relationship with ex-wife Amber Heard deteriorated.
The 58-year-old told the jury in the $ 100 million defamation lawsuit that he stayed with Hurd despite the alleged violence because he feared she would commit suicide, as his mother did when his father left her.
“Miss Hurd had taken my cigarette out of the ashtray and put it out on my face,” Depp said at the booth on Wednesday.
Depp with his parents Betty Sue Palmer and John Christopher Depp and then-girlfriend Vanessa Paradis when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999.
The 58-year-old told the jury in the $ 100 million defamation lawsuit that he stayed with Hurd despite the alleged violence because he feared she would commit suicide, as his mother did when his father left her.
“I didn’t want to break her heart,” Depp said Wednesday. “When my father left, my mother – this first suicide attempt that I woke up from and this visualization in my head – was a direct result of my father leaving.
“Miss Hurd has spoken out about suicide several times, so it’s also a factor. It’s also something that always lives in the back of your brain and you’re scared.
“Many times when I tried to leave, she would stop me in front of the elevator and the guards would cry and shout, ‘I can’t live without you, I’m going to die.’
“There were several times when I managed to escape, and five minutes later she arrived at my home in West Hollywood in her nightgown, screaming in the parking lot in front of my house, screaming to the high skies, and it would be four in the morning. It was ridiculous. He was out of control.
Depp told the court he hoped he could “bring Amber around.”
“Amber Heard, whom I knew for the first year and a half, was not that opponent, she was not my girl. She had become my opponent, and everything I did just didn’t suit her, she didn’t accept it.
He talks about their battles, which he believes have become violent.
“If I keep trying to present my version or my side of the story when you are approached in some way with such anger and hatred. To me, that seemed like pure hatred. If I stayed arguing, I was sure it would escalate into violence, and it often did.
“Miss Hurd, in her frustration, rage, and anger, she would be reflected.” It could have started with a slap, a bump, a throw at the TV remote in my head, a glass of wine in my face, but overall it was just a constant.
“There was a built-in list of my personal experiences that I told Miss Hurd – these things were used against me as a weapon, especially when it came to my children.
“The only ambition I ever had came when my second child came along, which was to be a good parent, to be a great father, to be the best father I could be.”
Depp said Hurd would attack his parents.
“There have been several cases where Miss Hurd has told me what a bad father I am and that I have no idea how to be a parent.
“I couldn’t figure out how I could be so wrong about everything in 52 years.”
Depp said he was in a “monumental quilt where I could hardly go and spend time with my children because she had to have me there at all times for her own needs, it was something that, once you realize that it happens and there are problems between the children and her, the situation starts to get a little gloomier and a little worse.
“What I was not ready to accept, I would not hear your words, you are a terrible father, you are a terrible father. One can only take so much of it before parts of your brain, pieces of your heart, the valve closes because you can’t hear it anymore and you know it’s not true and you know it’s to cut you, to bring you down to take you to a place where you begin to believe that something is wrong with you.
“It’s very wrong with me… but in all these situations my main goal was to retreat, because the most important thing is to choose your battles. If there is a battle to be fought, it is difficult and important …
