Amber Heard testified in court in the libel trial of ex-husband Johnny Depp on July 20 and said that the actor would sometimes accuse her and her co-stars of cheating him.
“He accused me of having affairs with each of my co-stars, movie after movie: Eddie Redmayne, James Franco, Jim Sturgess, Kevin Costner, Liam Hemsworth, Billy Bob Thornton, Channing Tatum; even women co-stars like Kelli Garner,” said the Aquaman star.
Amber, 34, said the 57-year-old Johnny even accused her of having an affair with Leonardo DiCaprio, although they only auditioned together for a project.
“He would taunt me about it — especially when he was drunk or high — and had derogatory nicknames for every one of my male co-stars he considered a sexual threat,” she added. “For example, Leonardo DiCaprio was ‘pumpkin-head,’ Channing Tatum was ‘potato-head,’ and ‘Jim Turd Sturgess.’”
It wasn’t just named; Amber charged Johnny with his supposed behavior, negatively impacting her career. She testified that Johnny would tell her he ‘d speak to people who “knew all about” her supposed affairs.
“He would try and catch me out by taking my phone or telling me someone had told him I was having an affair and act as if he had information proving it — when I really hadn’t,” she continued.
It intensified to the Pirates of Caribbean star allegedly “demanding” in Amber’s projects to know about intimate scenes.
“He would even get himself copies of the scripts I was looking at, without asking me, to review them for himself,” Amber said. “His rules got tighter every year we were together about what nudity or scenes were acceptable, wanting descriptions of every detail, every aspect of scenes and how they were covered, placing increasing restrictions on what I could and couldn’t do.”
Because of suspected behavior by Johnny, Amber said she finally started turning down roles she did know he wouldn’t like. Amber is on trial since her ex-husband sues The Sun and her parent libel company after writing a 2018 article that labeled him a “wife beater.” Amber had accused Johnny of abusing her in their relationship that filed for divorce in 2017.
The trial of three weeks, which began on July 7, has put forth scandalous allegations about the marriage of Amber and Johnny. Johnny said during one testimony that he realized he wanted a divorce after Amber had reportedly defecated “or one of her friends” into his room
