Johnny Depp is believed to have been convinced that his ex-wife Amber Heard only married him to be successful.
Also on the sixth day of the trial in the legal dispute between Johnny Depp (57, "Sleepy Hollow") and the British newspaper "The Sun", numerous witnesses give stories from Depp's deeply dysfunctional, now divorced, marriage to Amber Heard (34, "London Fields") ) on record. For example, Depp is said to have said that Heard only married him because she was "desperate for success and fame". In addition, a witness reported Heard's verbal abuse and physical abuse.
Depp trusted his doctor
On one of the first trial days, Depp had already claimed that Heard had thrown two vodka bottles at him in Australia in 2015. The second bottle is said to have cut off his fingertip and "shattered the bones". After this incident, which his ex-wife denies, Depp has apparently sent his personal doctor Dr. Entrusted to David Kipper, who testified today in court and quoted the "Daily Mail" from his statement.
"I can no longer live like this," said Depp Kipper, shortly before the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star went to the hospital. He could no longer stand Heard's "constant insults" and "degrading and degrading" statements. He was "finished" with her, Depp continued. He also accused Heard of "acquiring" him only because she desperately strives for success and fame. She is "obsessed with herself" and "incredibly ambitious".
Heard called Depp "fat" and "off the window"
Another witness also testified in Depp's favor: Tara Roberts, the property manager of Depp's property in the Bahamas. According to "The Guardian" she should have heard a dispute between the two in 2015. Heard is said to have insulted Depp incessantly and with "increasing cruelty". She is said to have insulted him as "fat". In addition, his career is "at the end" and "nobody will ever hire him again". Heard also said Depp would die as a "lonely man".
While Depp allegedly wanted to avoid the argument, Heard repeatedly attacked him, first verbally and then physically. Depp is said to have later told Roberts that Heard threw a drink at him with a one-liter can. This box hit him in the face, where, according to Roberts, a cut was visible. Depp, on the other hand, would have been "never aggressive" towards Heard, Roberts continues. In addition, they were never seen traces of a violent confrontation with Heard.
Already on yesterday's trial day, Depp's longtime assistant supported the narrative that Heard was actually the violent part of the relationship.
There are still many process days ahead
The London trial started on July 7th and is expected to last three weeks. Depp does not complain directly against Heard, but against the publisher of the tabloid "The Sun". This is about an article from 2018, which claimed that the actor was a "wife's thug". Depp denies that. In the United States, he also sued his ex-wife for defamation.
Depp and Heard had met while filming "The Rum Diary" (2011), followed in 2015 by the wedding. However, after only 15 months of marriage, Heard filed for divorce in May 2016. A public mud battle ensued, in which both raised serious allegations against the other.
