Johnny Depp has been accused of writing Amber Heard’s name in urine in their rented Gold Coast mansion, a court has heard.

Johnny Depp v Amber Heard trial: Drugs, defecation and dog abuse

Johnny Depp tried to write Amber Heard’s name in urine in their rented Gold Coast mansion during a bender, the British High Court was told today.

The alleged incident was said to have taken place during a bust-up that caused around $100,000 in damage at the rented property in 2015.

In her witness statement, Heard said Depp undid his pants as he was being escorted out of the trashed property by security, saying: “I need to take a f***ing piss; it’s my house.”

Heard alleged: “He then went back inside and did it right in front of them to nervous laughter.

“He said was he was trying to write my name on the walls and carpet while peeing in the house.”

But Depp’s estate manager Ben King told the High Court he was sure there was no urine on the floor at the property.

Sasha Wass QC, the barrister representing publisher News Group Newspapers, said: “Amongst all this blood and paint, you say you are sure that there was no urine.”

Mr King replied: “Quite sure.”

Mr King said that he later returned to the house to “chaperone” a professional cleaning team and they “didn’t mention anything”.

He said in his witness statement: “I did not see any signs of urine, and I did not smell it, as I would have done had someone urinated around the house.”

However, he told the court he did find Depp’s severed finger after the row in 2015.

Heard has alleged she was slapped and shoved, suffering cuts and bruises during the ordeal which also caused damage to the property.

Depp’s former house manager Ben King told the High Court he was “tasked” to look out for the fingertip when he arrived at the damaged home.

The 57-year-old actor has accused Heard, 34, of severing his finger when she threw a bottle of vodka at him, but she claims it was when he smashed a phone against a wall.

Mr King said: “I knew that Mr Depp’s finger had been cut. It was mentioned that his fingertip may be somewhere.”

He told how he “found a piece of flesh” from Depp’s finger in the bar area when he was cleaning up.

He said: “The house wasn’t in a good state. There was blood in a number of different rooms around the house.”

Mr King continued: “The bar area had the most blood. There was a trail of blood spots up the stairs, and blood spots in the bedrooms, in one bedroom mainly.”

He explained the floors had to be sanded, the curtains cleaned, paintwork and plasterwork replaced, and chipped stone on the countertop in the bar area repaired after the row.

Depp was in Australia filming Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge in March 2015.

The star Depp is suing The Sun* for referring to him as a “wife beater” in a 2018 article. The Sun, supported by Ms Heard, says the term was justified.
