“There was blood everywhere. I felt like I was going through a mental breakdown at that time,” Johnny Depp recalled the encounter with his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The lawsuit between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife – actress Amber Heard for defamation in court in Virginia, USA is still tense as many new details continuously emerge.
According to People, in court, the actor born in 1963 continuously revealed hidden corners of the short but noisy marriage between him and his ex-wife.

Depp said that the tense argument between him and his wife took place during a trip to Australia in 2015. This was also the time he filmed part 5 of “Pirates of the Caribbean”. The reason is because he and his ex-wife could not find a “common voice” regarding agreements before love and after marriage.
Talking about the heated argument, Depp revealed that he locked himself in “the bedroom and bathroom” when Amber kept arguing. The actress banged on the door and screamed obscenities before leaving.
After that, Johnny went to the bar downstairs, got a bottle of wine and drank about 2-3 cups. At this point, Amber saw him and “started screaming like a monster”.
The actor recalled that Amber took a bottle and threw it straight at him. The “Aquaman” star then did not stop and continued to insult him before grabbing a second glass bottle and throwing it towards his hand.
The bottle shattered, some pieces of glass cutting into his fingers. The actor did not feel any pain, but the injured area became hot. When he looked down, he saw that the tip of his finger was cut off and bleeding quite a bit.
“There was blood everywhere. I felt like I was having a mental breakdown,” Depp recalled. He was stopped from bleeding and taken to the hospital immediately afterwards. At the hospital, Depp lied that his hand was stuck when opening the door because he did not want his wife to get into trouble.
During the trial, Johnny Depp also accused Amber Heard of repeatedly threatening suicide while the two argued. According to Johnny, every time he tried to leave because he didn’t want to continue the tension, his ex-wife would stop him, cry, scream and threaten to “die” without him.
Depp explained that the conflict between the couple stemmed from his drinking problem. Heard frequently referred to her husband as “weak, a mess, an alcoholic who ruins everything”.
The actor once wanted to reconcile with Heard but was powerless. “I chose the same solution as I did when I was young. I ran away from everything,” the actor told the court.
Before her ex-husband’s testimony, Amber Heard kept a serious expression. Currently, she has not responded to the allegations made by Johnny Depp.
