Amber Heard, deranged, yelled at Johnny Depp that he was “fat” and “washed” when he attacked him on his private island, a UK court said on Tuesday.
Tara Roberts, the real estate manager for Depp’s Little Hall Pond’s Cay in the Bahamas, called the actor an “unusually kind man” who “retired” during his volatile relationship with the “Aquaman” actress.
He heard that he was a “launcher,” “someone who threw projectiles,” and that he “would violently attack Johnny, pull his hair, and commit other aggressive physical acts against him,” Roberts said in a witness statement in the defamation case of Depp vs. The Sun newspaper.
Roberts detailed how he heard “repeatedly rebuked [Depp] with increasing ferocity ”during an alleged assault in December 2015 when the couple was on the Caribbean island with Depp’s two children and a friend.
“She was insulting him, calling him by his names, and in the midst of this onslaught I heard her specifically say ‘your career is over’, no one is going to hire you, ‘you are tired’, fat man, ‘You will die as a lonely man’ and also shouting things that were incomprehensible, “said Roberts.
Depp tried to leave, telling him “just leave me alone!” – but “his wife’s screams and reprimands rose to a fever pitch,” said Roberts.
“Throughout this incident, I never saw Johnny hit Amber, or push her back, nor did he physically react to the attacks,” Roberts insisted.
He heard that “he would calm down, hug and apologize,” only for the attack to start again, Roberts said.
He later saw Depp with “a red, swollen wound on the bridge of his nose,” he said.
“Amber, Johnny then told me, he had thrown a can of quarter-gallon thinner in Johnny’s face, causing an injury,” his witness statement said.
The next morning, the bushes around his house were full of art supplies, and Heard asked for help finding his wedding ring, which had been removed and thrown away during the fight, Roberts said.
“I never saw her with any signs of injury to her face or body,” said the manager.
Roberts insisted that he never saw Depp be “violent or aggressive” with anyone.
Roberts also said that when Depp arrived on the island in August 2014 to detoxify from pain relievers, “there was no discord” or anything “out of the ordinary”, despite Heard claiming the actor flipped over and kicked her.
Before the couple’s marriage, Depp was “outgoing, friendly, and social,” but there was a “different change” after their marriage, Roberts said.
“The lively, social person who spent most of the days asleep retired,” he said in his statement.
On the witness stand, Roberts insisted that he was “not lying” in the statement to save his job, saying he had other sources of income.
“As far as you are concerned, you have suggested that Ms. Heard was the most violent, right?” asked Sasha Wass, the attorney for The Sun.
“Correct,” Roberts told the court.
Depp is suing The Sun over an April 2018 article that said she was a “handcuff puncher,” which he denies, and instead says that his “sociopathic” ex-wife was the violent one in his marriage.
Defense of the Sun is based on Heard’s allegations of 14 incidents of violence by Depp between 2013 and 2016.
