Johnny Depp returned to the stand today for testimony in his libel lawsuit against Amber Heard, who he says berated and attacked him constantly during their short-lived marriage
April 20, 2022 11:00 AM EDT
Heard has accused Depp of physically and sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions. Depp has not yet addressed those accusations in detail, beyond dismissing them on Tuesday as false and heinous. Depp said that Heard made little digs at him to demean him. The insults escalated into full-fledged circular arguments from which there was “no way in or out,” Depp said.He added: “Ms. Heard was unable to be wrong. It just didn’t happen. She couldn’t be wrong.”
“Why did I stay? I stayed I suppose because my father stayed … I didn’t want to fail,” Depp said. “I wanted to try to make it work. I thought maybe I could help her. I thought maybe I could bring her around.” Depp said the accusations and the article contributed to an unfairly ruined reputation that made him a Hollywood pariah and cost him his role in the lucrative “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie franchise.
