Johnny Depp told an angry Amber Heard that he wanted to divorce during a heated phone conference with his personal assistant about the stool found in his bed, a court heard during his explosive defamation trial on Wednesday.
Kevin Murphy, who worked for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star between 2008 and 2016, told the London High Court that he received a call in May 2016 from the couple over the loudspeaker that quickly grew tense, according to the Daily Mail. .
During the call, Depp asked Murphy to repeat the information he had previously told the actor about the offensive pile.
“I also repeated that Mrs. Heard had admitted that she was responsible for what she called a ‘harmless joke.’ Ms. Heard screamed and called me an ‘af-king liar’ multiple times, “Murphy said, according to the outlet. “I asked him to stop yelling at me and cursing me and I heard Mr. Depp in the background saying, ‘Please don’t talk to him like that. Be respectful. ‘”
He added: “Then I heard Mr. Depp say he couldn’t do this anymore and wanted a divorce. When Mrs. Heard kept yelling, I hung up the phone. I received several additional phone calls from the same number in the minutes that followed, but did not answer them. “
Murphy found herself caught in the middle of the couple’s volatile relationship after Heard allegedly hit on her bed as a “prank” while celebrating her 30th birthday, prompting Depp to call her Amber Turd.
During the phone call, Depp also said he wanted to do a DNA test on the poop to determine its origin, claiming that the “Aquaman” actress had “left a poop on my bed” that was discovered by the housekeeper of the couple.
“Then I relayed to Mrs. Heard, again, that [housekeeper Hilda] Vargas had discovered stool on top of the sheet in Mr. Depp and Mrs. Heard’s bed, “Murphy said.
Depp is suing The Sun over a 2018 article that called him a “handcuff puncher,” which he has denied, accusing his ex-wife “sociopath” of all the violence in their marriage.
