There’s just no turning back from this one. Or at least, that’s what Johnny Depp believes. The actor says that his ex-wife Amber Heard’s allegations of him being a supposed wife beater has cost him everything in his life. Here’s what you need to know.
Johnny Depp said in court on Wednesday that domestic abuse allegations made against him by his ex-wife Amber Heard had cost him “nothing less than everything” and claimed that she was the one who was frequently violent. The actor, taking the witness stand for a second day of testimony in his defamation case against Heard in the US state of Virginia, claimed she would regularly insult him and once threw a vodka bottle at him, severing the tip of one of his fingers.
Johnny Depp Says Amber Heard’s Wife Beater Allegations Has Destroyed His Life
As many fans know by now, Depp filed the defamation suit against Heard over a column she wrote for the Washington Post in December 2018 in which she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
However, Heard never named Depp, whom she met in 2009 on the set of the film The Rum Diary, but he sued her for implying he was a domestic abuser and is seeking $50 million in damages. Heard has countersued, asking for $100 million and claiming she suffered “rampant physical violence and abuse” at his hands.
“Nothing less than everything,” he replied. “When the allegations were rapidly circling the globe, telling people that I was a drunken cocaine-fuelled menace who beat women – suddenly in my 50s – it’s over.”
“I lost then, no matter the outcome of this trial,” he said.
