Amber Heard gives evidence at the Johnny Depp trial and tells the court, “I was afraid he would kill me.”
She said: “The best way I can describe what happened in Australia is that it was like a three-day hostage situation. We were supposed to be there for three days alone, but it was only when I arrived that I realized that I was trapped in this remote place with no means to get out and that Johnny had already been using and had a bag of drugs.
“I was in a remote house, at least 20 minutes from help; where I couldn’t go; I was trapped and isolated with a violent person suffering from manic depression, bipolar disorder, and a pattern of repeated drug-induced psychosis and violence, who was on a multi-day drug and alcohol binge.
“During those three days, there were extreme acts of psychological, physical, emotional, and other violence. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever been through. They left my lip and nose hurt and cut my arms. ”
She heard the allegation that at one point Depp grabbed her by the neck, pushed her against the fridge, and said he could “crush her.” She said there were broken glass everywhere, and alleged that he ripped off her nightgown so that she was naked.
“At some point he pulled me by the neck and pushed me against the bar, I was against the bar, naked, leaning back, my back against the marble. I was pressing so hard on my neck that I couldn’t breathe. I was trying to tell him that I couldn’t breathe. I remember thinking that he was going to kill me at that time, “he said.
The next day, he said he noted that Depp’s finger had been cut off, explaining in his statement: “I didn’t actually see the finger cut off, but I was worried it might have happened the night before.” I thought it might have happened when I was breaking the phone on the wall next to the fridge. “
In his statement, Heard goes on to say that security arrived and asked Depp where his finger was.
“He went out the front door, although security tried to stop him. He took out his penis and they asked him what he was doing. He replied as if he were asleep: “I need to urinate, it is my house”.
“He peed just outside the front door; then she came back and did it right in front of them, with a nervous laugh. She said she was trying to write my name, pee on the walls and the carpet, walking around the house. “
Heard said Depp was taken to the hospital, and sometime that day she found the nightgown she was wearing.
“There were pieces wrapped around something and I realized it was the steak that I had planned to cook. She had ripped the dress to pieces and put raw meat on it. I had also gone and painted all my clothes in the closet. She had taken a lot out of them and put them in the bathtub and smeared with paint. And he had hidden more pieces of raw meat in places, like in the bedroom closet. It was really in bad shape, ”he said.
The trial previously heard that Depp said his finger was cut after Heard threw a bottle of vodka at him.
