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

New photos released in court have shown Johnny Depp’s alleged diet while on a drug bender – with cocaine, alcohol and a pill box all laid out on a table.

The images taken by his ex-wife, Amber Heard, and shown in a British court on Wednesday, feature a table littered with alcohol and drugs at her Los Angeles home in 2013.

Four lines of what appears to be cocaine are seen on the table, along with a credit card nearby.

There’s also two glasses of whiskey as well as a skull and crossbones-decorated pill box marked “property of JD”.

Another showed a table loaded with alcohol along with a pill box.

Questioned about the image, Depp didn’t deny that the drug paraphernalia belonged to him.

“If they were mine I would wonder why they had been photographed,” Depp testified.

“I don’t even know if it’s cocaine or not.”

The court heard that Depp was supposed to be filming a documentary about Rolling Stones star Keith Richards when he started “snorting more and more lines of cocaine,” the Daily Star reported.

In another image, the Pirates Of The Caribbean star was seen fully clothed, apparently passed out on the floor beside his bed.

But the actor insisted that he was “sleeping, not passed out” and that his “head is on a cushion,” The Mirror reported.

Depp was on the stand for the second day in the explosive libel trial against the News Group Newspapers.

He is suing over a 2018 story published in The Sun that called him a “wife beater”.

Depp has admitted to taking “every drug known to man” – but insists he never assaulted Heard.

During an explosive first day in court on Tuesday, Depp also testified that he decided to divorce Heard after she or “possibly one of her friends” defecated in their bed as a “prank” at her 30th birthday party at their LA penthouse following a blow-up between the couple.

“I understand that the following morning (after the party), Ms Heard (or possibly one of her friends) defecated in our shared bed,” Depp said, according to the statement.

“On 12 May 2016, Ms Heard confessed to our estate manager, Kevin Murphy, that leaving the faeces in the bed had been ‘just a harmless prank,’ thereby effectively acknowledging that she had been responsible, whereas she had previously sought to blame our dogs,” the Fantastic Beasts star said.

Depp’s team also repeated claims that Heard had “extramarital affairs” with Tesla boss Elon Musk and actor James Franco.
