New picture shows bloody kitchen where Johnny Depp sliced finger off during row with Amber Heard
A GRUESOME photo revealing the bloody scene left after Johnny Depp’s finger was sliced off in a drug-fuelled row with Amber Heard was today shown to court.
The shocking image shows blood splattered on the floor of a bar area in the couple’s swanky pad in Australia in 2015.

A window has also been smashed and shattered glass can be seen littering the worktops after the couple allegedly caused £80,000 ($100,000) worth of damage in the grisly bust-up.
The beer fridge looks stocked with booze in the photo, but bottles of wine and pricey Tanqueray gin can be seen on the messy counter.
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 actor has accused Heard of severing the tip when she chucked a bottle of vodka at him, but she claims it was when he smashed a phone against a wall.
The High Court heard today:
A photo shown to the High Court reveals the bloody kitchen after Depp’s finger was severed
Ex-estate manager Ben King said he found a ‘piece of flesh’ when sent to clean the home
He said there was ‘blood everywhere’ and the home ‘wasn’t in a good state’
The couple were said to have caused £80k worth of damage after the row
Mr King said he noticed cuts on Heard’s arm when she left Australia
He told how Depp would leave notes to Heard saying ‘let’s not do this again’ after they rowed
Heard in a previous statement accused Depp of trying to spell her name in urine inside their home
Mr King accused Heard of being the ‘antagoniser’ in their relationship and said she ‘goaded’ the actor
He also claimed the couple argued like ‘schoolchildren’ and said Heard ‘drunk two bottles of wine a night’
Depp text Amber’s assistant branding his wife ‘scum’ and threatening to ‘fix her flabby a**’.
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.
The employee added: “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 bust-up.

The High Court has previously heard that Depp used his severed finger to write ‘I love u’ in a mirror at the home.
Mr King later said he noticed Heard had “diagonal” cuts on her arms when she left Australia to fly back to LA.
He said he told her “maybe you should put your sleeve down”.
Heard has previously claimed the Australia trip where Depp was filming Pirates of the Caribbean was a drug-fuelled “three-day hostage rage”.
The court was also told how Heard had claimed Depp “took out” his privates before trying to spell her name in urine on the carpet as he “walked through the house.
Depp was then escorted out of the trashed property by security, saying: “I need to take a f***ing piss, it’s my house.”
Ms Heard said: “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 Mr King said he “didn’t see any signs of urine” and “did not see it” as the couple’s dirty laundry was revealed to the court again.
It was on the Australia trip the couple were accused of illegally smuggling dogs Pistol and Boo into the country.
Both issued a video apology but avoided a conviction after expressing remorse.
The court heard today how Depp appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the drama and joked: “There might have been other things that were smuggled.”
Depp’s estate manager said he saw Heard after she was allegedly attacked in December 2015 but claims he saw no bruising – contrary to this photo shown to the court

She also claimed Depp pulled out her hair during the incident
Another of Depp’s estate managers, Kevin Murphy, today told the court how Heard had alleged the actor hit her “so hard in the face and body that their bed broke” in December 2015.
He also said Heard had pointed to a tuft of hair on the floor and said “this is what Johnny pulled out”.
Pictures of the blonde hair, broken bed and Heard’s bruised face have previously been shown to the court.
But Mr Murphy said he saw “no bruising, no redness, no scratches… no signs of physical confrontation whatsoever.”
He also accused Heard of asking him to “take the blame for her” over the dog smuggling incident – and claimed she “wielded the power” in her and Depp’s relationship.

Aquaman star Heard, 34, wore her long hair in plaits and sported a red scarf as she arrived at the High Court in London today.
She smiled and waved at waiting fans and photographers as she was supported by her sister Whitney and girlfriend Bianca Butti.
Depp appeared in good spirits as he posed on the steps outside the court today.
It comes after another sensational day that saw a picture said to show Heard’s poo in the marital bed shown to the court.
The grim image was shown to one of the most respected judges in the UK as unsavoury details of the couple’s tumultuous relationship were played out.
Depp vowed to divorce “Amber Turd” after claiming she left poo in the bed in revenge for a furious birthday bust-up.

The star said it was a “fitting end” to his relationship with the 34-year-old after the “crass” act in their marital bed in LA in April 2016.
The court was also told Heard wrote in her diary that Depp had wrapped a shirt around her neck during a row on their honeymoon on the Oriental Express in 2015.
Heard wrote: “Our fight was terrible. J finally at one point found himself with his shirt wrapped around my neck.
“He hit me several times. I don’t even know how I wound up with this huge, rather annoying knot on the back of my head.”
But Depp claims the diary is a hoax and an “insurance dossier” she compiled to make money from him after they split.
He is accused of attacking Heard 14 times over three years – starting in 2013 when she mocked his “Wino Forever” tattoo that had been changed from “Winona Forever”.
Depp also allegedly turned his “rage and frustration” on Heard, 34, when he “failed to control” his drug and alcohol abuse.
The actor “descended into physically destructive behaviour” – causing him to refer to his “drunken and violent persona as ‘the monster'”, it was said.
The High Court previously heard:
Amber Heard wrote in her diary that Depp had wrapped a shirt around her neck during a row on their honeymoon
A shocking picture said to show Amber’s poo in the marital bed was shown to the court
Depp’s security guard denied he had seen the actress was injured during the trip
Security guard Malcolm Connolly said he had arrived to find the couple screaming at each other during a trip to Australia
The security team discussed possible fake explanations for Depp’s severed finger, including that he had cut himself chopping onions
Heard claimed she had two black eyes when appearing on the Late Late Show with James Corden after an alleged attack
But in a series of explosive revelations, Depp has branded Heard’s abuse allegations “complete lies”.
And he called his ex-wife “calculating, sociopathic and emotionally dishonest” as he lifted the lid on their tumultuous relationship.
Depp’s assistant Stephen Deuters told the court he never saw Heard with injuries – and claimed she subjected him to ‘years of abuse’.
Depp claims Heard severed his finger during a trip to Australia in 2015 by throwing a vodka bottle at him and accused her of repeatedly punching him in the face.
He has brought separate libel proceedings against Heard in the US.
The couple married in LA in 2015 after meeting on the set of comedy The Rum Diary.
But they divorced two years later after Heard, who donated her £5.5million settlement to charity, accused Depp of abuse.
The case continues.
