Johnny Depp was a jealous partner who often attacked Amber Heard while accusing her of cheating during a rage fueled by drugs and alcohol, the actress said as she broke into the booth on Thursday.
The Aquaman actress said her ex-husband didn’t want her to play hot roles – or work at all – because of how paranoid he was, and accused her of sleeping with colleagues including Billy Bob Thornton and Eddie Redman.
“Every time I got a script, it was like, you know, how I dressed.” . . . Did I have a sex scene? ”She told the jury.
He would say, “You don’t have to work, kid. I will support you “, but she wanted to work and claimed that his insistence that she give up acting was part of his controlling personality.
Depp once became so jealous of Hurd’s working relationship with actor James Franco that he attacked her on a private jet they took with some of Depp’s crew in May 2014.
“He called me a slut,” Hurd, 36, told Depp, 58, adding that he accused her of “secretly having something to do” with Franco.

When she got up from her seat to get away from Depp, he allegedly started throwing things – and then hit her in the face, she said.
“My face did not hurt. I was just embarrassed that he would do this to me in front of others, “Hurd said, adding that Depp continued to mock her and call her by name.
Depp is also said to have kicked her in the back with his boot during the flight, she testified, while he appears to be writhing in his seat in Fairfax Courtroom, Virginia.
“I felt that boot in my back,” she said. “I fell to the floor. And no one said anything. Nobody did anything. You could hear the pin fall. ”

The Pirates of the Caribbean star has apparently become aggressive during a flight from Boston to Los Angeles over Hurd’s kissing scene with 44-year-old Franco on the set of The Adderal Diaries, she said. “I remember feeling so uncomfortable that he could kick me on the ground in front of people,” she said, “and even more uncomfortable, I didn’t know what to do about it.
“He hated James Franco. He accused me of having something to do with him in the past since I shot The Pineapple Express with him.
The court had previously heard about the incident when Depp was in a statement earlier in the $ 50 million defamation lawsuit. Depp has denied drinking before boarding the plane, claiming Hurd started arguing with him until he hid in the bathroom.

But on Thursday, the jury heard Hurd’s recording towards the end of the incident, in which it was said that Depp “you are like an animal” and chattered incoherently.
“He will lose control”
Depp is suing his ex-wife for her 2018 publication in The Washington Post, in which she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic violence.” He is never mentioned by name in the song, but says he clearly mentions it.
At the booth, Hurd gave example after example of the alleged abuse. In August 2014, Depp said he wanted to “give up” detoxification with roxicodone – and it is alleged that he became violent after Hurd tried to encourage him to continue.

“I told him something and he was so angry that he hit me in the face,” Hurd testified. “He cried, saying that no woman had ever bothered him like that, never made him feel that way.
The actress said that her career has suffered as a result of her powerful husband, who will try to persuade the wardrobe to allow her to dress more conservatively on the set.
Hurd said she started filming him in a fit because no one believed he had an addiction problem.

Four photos presented in Fairfax County Court appear to show him unconscious on chairs and on the floor of a hotel room.
“He will faint, he will get sick, he will lose control of himself. “People would take it, clean it and fix it,” Hurd said. “He would either not remember, or he would deny it, or he would accuse me of saying that it happened when it didn’t.”
‘I don’t see it’
The couple’s fight seems to have escalated in March 2015 while in Australia, where Depp shot the fifth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Hurd burst into sobs in the rostrum on Thursday when he remembered Depp threatening to “cut” her face with a bottle – and then inserted one into it during a battle.
“I didn’t know if the bottle I had in me was broken,” she said, breathing heavily as she held back tears. “I could not feel it. I couldn’t feel anything. “
The horrific incident happened during the same battle that left Depp with his finger cut off – something he claims happened when Hurd threw a bottle of vodka at him. The couple had married only a month earlier.
After the alleged attack, Hurd said she took sleeping pills to fall asleep and woke up when her then-husband was missing part of her finger.
She said she had found everything from mirrors through walls to pillows covered in incomprehensible messages drawn by Depp in the blood of his severed finger.
“I look him in the eye, I don’t see him anymore,” she said, beginning to sob. “It was not him. It was black. I’ve never been so scared in my life. I was trying to contact Johnny and I couldn’t see him at all.
