Renowned actor Johnny Depp has now testified that ex wife Amber Heard got physical with him after finding out that he was hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, reported People.
On Monday, Depp, 57, added to the allegations he made against Heard, 34, in the London courtroom as a part of his libel lawsuit proceedings againstThe Sun, which published a 2018 article calling him a "wife beater." The Pirates of the Caribbean told the court on Monday that Heard once attacked him the same night the actor discovered he had serious financial woes.
The alleged incident occurred in April 2016, when Depp was informed about his millions of dollars in unpaid taxes. “I was in the early stages of learning from my recently acquired new business manager that the former business managers had taken quite a lot of moneu. They stole my money,” Depp testified, according to The Guardian.
“It was put to me this way, because I had no idea about money or amounts of money: Since Pirates 2 and 3, I had – and this is ludicrous to have to state, it’s quite embarrassing – apparently I had made $650 million," he explained. "And when I sacked (the former business managers), for the right reasons, I had not only lost $650 million, but I was $100 million in the hole because they had not paid the government my taxes for 17 years.”
The discovery reportedly came the same night as Heard's 30th birthday party, which Depp arrived to late.
In an earlier one of Heard's claims, Depp had pulled her hair and threw objects at her that night. But now Depp has alleged that she was the one who became violent, lodging "haymaker" punches at him.
