During his testimony this week, Heard painted a portrait of an allegedly controlling and physically abusive Depp, who, as he was known to the world as one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars, was a Dr Jekyll -M. “Monster” at the Hyde behind closed doors. The couple fell in love while promoting their 2011 film The rum journal whole.

The first time Depp allegedly hit her was after she laughed at a tattoo on her arm.

“I had never been hit like that. I just looked at it. I didn’t say or react,” she said. “I just looked at it. He slapped me again, hard. I lost my balance and all of a sudden I realized that the worst thing that could happen to me… He just hit me.

While on a flight from Boston to Los Angeles in 2014, Heard alleged that Depp hit her from behind in a jealous rage over intimate scenes she filmed with actor James Franco for a film they were shooting together.

“Nobody did anything. I felt so embarrassed that he could kick me on the ground and nobody would do anything about it,” she claimed.

Another time, Heard described Depp’s tantrum when he accused her of flirting with someone at the 2014 Met Gala in New York. In their hotel room after the event, the couple got into a physical altercation.

“Johnny pushed me and grabbed me by the collarbone. I think at that moment I pushed him away. I remember he threw a bottle at me, I missed it, but it broke the chandelier,” she said.

“He pushed me onto the couch and at one point punched me in the face. I think that was the first time (where I thought), ‘Is that a broken nose?’ I remember my nose was swollen, discolored and red.

Elsewhere in her testimony, Heard spoke about allegations that Depp assaulted her with an alcohol bottle during an explosive fight in 2015 and threatened to “kill me.”

“I didn’t know if the bottle he had in me was broken,” she said. “I couldn’t feel it. I couldn’t feel anything.

A spokesperson for Depp called the Aquaman star’s testimony the ‘performance of a lifetime’ and promised that her legal team’s upcoming cross-examination ‘will highlight the many errors that Ms Heard has now tried to pass off as fact throughout her testimony convoluted”.

Heard’s rep responded in a statement shared with the Toronto Sunin which they said:If Mr. Depp was truly innocent, why did he repeatedly apologize to Ms. Heard and promise to drive the “monster away for good?”

On social media, some trial followers accused Heard of acting on the stand, accusing him of extracting parts of his testimony from films like The Talented Mr. Ripley.
