'I felt so embarrassed': Amber Heard claims Johnny Depp abused ... (USA TODAY)

Amber Heard entered day two of testimony against Johnny Depp in the libel lawsuit. She claimed he abused her as a result of jealousy.

Depp argued that he would remove himself from the room during fights with Heard to avoid escalation. But jurors heard a recording Heard made toward the end of the incident, in which it sounds like Depp is howling and babbling incoherently. "I felt so embarrassed that he could kick me to the ground in front of people." He denied that he'd drank excessively before getting on the plane, and said Heard initiated an argument and pursued him until he felt compelled to hide in a bathroom. Heard said Depp got even more aggressive when she began filming "The Adderall Diaries" with James Franco in 2014. She later claimed Depp had a range of extreme moods throughout their stay including "bursts into anger." The two would reunite in person on a private plane to go to a birthday party for Lily-Rose. "I was so in love ... I can’t describe that kind of joy." "I had just met them and I didn’t want them to think poorly of me and hate me not knowing what was going on behind doors." "I was unsure what that feeling was but I suspected I had a broken nose. "Johnny screamed at me in the hotel room and all I could think about was the kids were in an adjoining room. Depp's children, Lily-Rose Depp and Jack, were also with the couple.

Her emotional testimony frequently halted as Depp's lawyers persistently and successfully objected to various questions.

At some point between then and the next day, Heard said, Depp’s finger was injured (previous testimony has described it as a severed fingertip). Heard said she found letters scrawled on the walls in blood. Depp accused her of sleeping with various co-stars, such as actors Eddie Redmayne, Jim Sturgess and Billy Bob Thornton. In one instance, she testified, after he took eight to 10 ecstasy pills, he held her by the neck and slammed her against a wall, at which point she slapped him. “It was the first time something like that happened in front of somebody,” she said. She took a liquor bottle and broke it on the tile floor. He also, she said, “whacked” her in the face. In another instance, she said, he choked her and wrestled with her on a table. “I think that was the first time I was like, ‘Is this a broken nose?’” On another occasion, Heard said, she took Lily-Rose to Benihana for her birthday while Depp slept off a binge. That Johnny had finally hit rock bottom and finally, he felt like changing for good.” At the their engagement party five months later, she testified that he spent most of the event upstairs, taking drugs with her father. “Even if it was platonic, I couldn’t be photographed with other men or women that other people could possibly spin as romantic,” she testified. She also said that he attempted to control her career, and she began choosing roles requiring minimal makeup and avoiding romance or sex for her characters — if she chose to work at all — per his comfort level. The case centers on a 2018 op-ed Heard wrote that was published in the The Washington Post, which alleged domestic abuse from an unnamed person.

“At some point, he just whacked me in the face,” Heard said of the alleged incident. “He was drinking at the restaurant and [his] kids were kind of noticing, but not really sure what to make of it … Johnny became upset with me for judging him,” she testified. I remember he threw a bottle at me, missed me, hit the chandelier,” Heard testified. But he apparently didn’t find it funny — and allegedly slapped her across the face, Heard testified. The couple had been sitting on the couch when she asked him about a tattoo he had that she couldn’t make out. Holds me there for a second and tells me he could f—king kill me.

It's not my place and I made him really angry by weighing in on that,” the actress said of her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

"Because I don't want your first experience in this world to be with people you don't know, taking things you don't know that I can't trust, so it's a safety issue." Depp, who has said multiple times under oath that he has never struck Heard or any woman, has testified that his "goal is the truth" as he seeks to clear his name in the trial, which is being televised live via various outlets. In March 2021, his attempt to overturn the decision was overruled. "Listen, sweetheart, if you are at a party and someone hands you the joint, take the joint from that person and pass it to the next person… The actor originally filed the $50 million lawsuit in March 2019.

Heard testified on Wednesday about how she took Lily-Rose Depp out for a birthday dinner when Depp was out of commission after a bender.

She said that, as the two flew back to Los Angeles together on a private plane after filming the movie, Depp fumed. "Johnny was sick after having passed out on the plane, so I took her to dinner, we went to Benihana," Heard said. Heard said she practically placated Depp by promising not to wear makeup for her role. "He hated, hated James Franco and was already accusing me of having a secret thing with him in my past," Heard said. The actress said she and Depp got into an argument in November 2013 when she took issue with Depp letting an older famous musician who Lily-Rose, then 14, had a crush on, stay the night at their house. Heard says the allegations were very much real, and she's spent a good deal of her two days on the stand so far spelling out multiple incidents where she said Depp got physically violent with her.

Heard also claimed she pushed for a prenup ... and believed Depp had hit "rock bottom" after a night out with Paul Bettany.

Depp is seeking $50 million in damages after Heard claimed she was a survivor of domestic abuse in an op-ed in the Washington Post in 2018. Heard said they, at one point, ran out of drugs and her father had to leave the party to get more. "I started saying, 'No, I won't take the sex scenes, I'll take the part where I don't play that kind of character.' Then I started minimizing the kinds of kissing scenes I had and eventually I had to change the wardrobe I had in the movie," she said. "I know he earned significantly more than me, I wanted to eliminate any doubt in his mind, so I brought it up to him. "But that and the introduction of the weed with his daughter, she was so young, I felt protective. Despite those alleged incidents, Heard started to believe Depp was getting back on track and he even re-proposed to her in front of their respective families. "I remember he missed a few days of work that way. You know what I want, who I am and where I want to go with us ... You know very well what type of f---ing man I am. I watched it," she said. I learned that in January the hard way," she said. She said that she's always been "really independent" and had a hard time with Depp supposedly pushing her to work less. Eventually, I found myself pushing as many scripts off my desk as I could, picking the ones with minimal makeup, dressed as conservative as possible, minimize the scenes I had where I had a romantic involvement."
