Distraught Amber Heard hits out at ‘monster’ Johnny Depp in court

A visibly distressed Amber Heard made new claims about abuse she allegedly endured in her relationship with “monster” Johnny Depp.

An emotional Amber Heard testified today that ex-husband Johnny Depp did a “cavity search” on her while looking for his cocaine.

They were staying with friends at a “fancy trailer park” in 2013. Depp allegedly thought another woman, who had taken ecstasy, had hit on her. Heard, who was high on mushrooms, and Depp went back to their trailer. The actor was screaming and tearing everything apart, she said.

“He ripped my dress,” she recalled, fighting back tears. “He rips my underwear off and then he, he proceeds to do a cavity search. He said he was looking for his drugs, his cocaine, his coke.”

She said he shoved his fingers insider her. “I just, stood there staring at the stupid light. I didn’t know what to do,” she recalled. “I just stood there while he did that. He twisted his fingers around.”

Jurors shown photo of bruise on Heard’s arm

Amber Heard, then a brunette, texted her mum a selfie showing a bruise she sustained during an argument with ex-husband Johnny Depp in March 2013.

Depp slapped her and she walked away. Heard said she “could tell” he was going to hit her again so she threw a vase at him.

He then allegedly grabbed her by the arm and held her on the floor. “I don’t know how many times he hit me in the face,” she said. “I remember thinking, ‘How could this happen to me again.’”

In an earlier fight, he had accused her of sleeping with a musician and another friend in Spain.

She said he smacked her in the face with a ringed hand and her lip went into her teeth and blood splattered on the wall.

Depp allegedly choked Heard on yacht trip

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, accompanied by his then teen kids, went on a trip in July 2013 to his private Bahamian island.

Heard met Lily-Rose and Jack about a month earlier, and they were all going to the island to say “goodbye” to Depp’s yacht, which he was selling to JK Rowling.

Depp, she said, was drinking liquor out of a coffee cup and his daughter, then 14, had noticed and was agitated.

Then, in a playful way, Depp threw himself off the boat like a “dead fish” and it scared Lily-Rose, who broke down in tears. Depp entered the room, where she was comforting his daughter, and he ordered the teen to leave.

He then accused Heard of telling Lily-Rose that he had been drinking.

“He slams me up by my neck and holds me there for a second and tells me he could f**king kill me and I was an embarrassment,” she recalled. “I was very, very, very much in love with this whole family now, and he’s saying I’m embarrassing.”

A helicopter came to pick up Heard and Depp from the island, while Jack stayed behind.

Depp didn’t appear to look at Heard a single time during her afternoon on the witness stand. But he did occasionally smirk in response to her testimony or lean over to his lawyer, Ben Chew, to whisper in his ear.

Heard said she and Johnny Depp took ecstasy on a flight to Russia in 2013. They shared the drug with a flight attendant. But Depp soon felt that the flight attendant became too friendly with Heard.

“He grabbed her by the wrist, slammed it down on the table and told her he could break her wrist,” she recalled. The flight attendant started crying. Heard alleged that Depp made the same threat to another woman he felt was inappropriate with her.

When Heard and Depp got to their hotel, he allegedly beat her up, giving her a bloody nose, she said.

Depp: ‘I put the monster away’

Amber Heard told jurors the first time Johnny Depp allegedly hit her was at her apartment in Los Angeles early in their relationship.

He was drinking and there was a jar of cocaine in front him. She made a comment about his tattoo “Wino Forever.” He had changed it from “Winona Forever” after he split from actress Winona Ryder.

“He slapped me across the face,” she recalled. “I laughed. I laughed because I didn’t know what else to do.” Depp then hit her two more times, and she fell on the ground.

He dropped to his knees, sobbing, and promised it would never happen again, she recalled. “I put the monster away,” he allegedly told her.

“I knew I had to leave him,” Heard said. “That’s what broke my heart because I didn’t want to leave him.”

Before the first assault, Heard said that Depp had thrown a glass at a wall near her. He would also hassle her about her clothes and her disparage her acting career.

“That’s really what you’re wearing, kid?” he’d ask her if she put on an outfit he found too revealing. He’d refer to other actresses as “worthless whores” and “fame hungry” in a bid to discourage her from pursuing the profession, she said.

The physical abuse escalated with Depp often triggered by suspicions she was having an affair — including with her ex-wife.

“He said he had proof,” she recalled of one incident. “He slapped me across the face.”

Heard did not cry but appeared as though she was fighting back tears.
