Striking new evidence has been introduced against Johnny Depp during his defamation trial against Amber Heard.
During cross examination Heard’s lawyer Ben Rottenborn introduced the fresh evidence in which Depp appears to have written a text message that a woman’s “p---y is RIGHTFULLY MINE!!!!!”
“Should I not just bust in and remove its hinges tonight???” Depp also wrote in the message sent from his phone on February 22, 2017, the court head of Wednesday.
“I want to change her understanding of what it is like to be thrashed around like a pleading Mackrel … I NEED. I WANT. I TAKE.”
Depp denied writing the texts to his assistant Steve Deuters, though the messages came from his number. Depp suggested someone else might have “borrowed” his phone.
“That’s quite a grotesque text,” he told his lawyer on redirect.
The texts referenced a woman named “Molly,” but it’s unclear who that is.
Another text message brought into evidence showed that Depp expressed a desire to get Heard fired from Aquaman after she filed a temporary restraining order against him in 2016.
“I wanted her replaced on that WB (Warner Bros.) film!!!” Depp wrote to his sister on June 4, 2016, according to the message read in court.
Depp denied it, and said he reached out to Warner Bros. execs because he had “vetted” Heard.
Heard’s lawyer read a text message previously heard in court in which Depp allegedly wrote the actress was “begging for total global humiliation.”
“She’s gonna get it,” Depp apparently wrote to his former talent agent, Christian Carino, who is also the ex-fiancé of singer and actress Lady Gaga.
In the August 2016 message, Depp hurled a series of insults at Heard as he referred to her then-boyfriend Elon Musk as “Mollusk.”
“I have no mercy, no fear and not an ounce of emotion, or what I once thought was love for this gold digging, low level, dime a dozen, mushy, pointless dangling overused flappy fish market …”
“I’m so f---ing happy she wants to go to fight this out!!! She will hit the wall hard!!!” Depp went on. “And I cannot wait to have this waste of a c– guzzler out of my life!!!”
Referring to a new relationship at the time, Depp said: “I met a f---ing sublime little Russian here … Which made me realise the time I blew on that 50 cent stripper … I wouldn’t touch her with a goddamn glove.”
“I can only hope that karma kicks in and take the gift of breath from her … Sorry, man … But, NOW, I will stop at nothing!!! Let’s see if mollusk has a pair. Come see me face-to-face … I’ll show him things he’s never seen before … Like, the other side of his d– k when I slice it off.”
