Amber Heard denies severing tip of Johnny Depp's finger
Amber Heard denies severing tip of Johnny Depp's finger, Amber Heard on Wednesday told the London's High Court that Johnny Depp h ad been throwing bottles at her “like grenades” as she gave evidence for a third day on behalf of the publishers of Britain’s Sun newspaper.
Depp is suing the newspaper for libel after it labelled him a “wife beater” in a 2018 article.
The actress denied severing the tip of her ex-husband's finger during a violent argument.
Heard is giving evidence at London’s High Court for a third day on behalf of the publishers of Britain’s Sun newspaper, which Depp is suing for libel after it labelled him a “wife beater” in a 2018 article.
The actress, who accuses the 57-year-old “Pirates of the Caribbean” star of physical abuse on at least 14 occasions, was questioned about an incident in Australia in March 2015 when she says she was subjected to a three-day hostage ordeal.
Depp has told the court the tip of his finger was severed during an argument when Heard, 34, threw a vodka bottle which struck his hand.
“I only threw things to escape Johnny when he was beating me up,” said Heard, who has previously admitted throwing objects in self-defence.
She said she had taken a bottle from Depp from which he was drinking and smashed it on the floor, saying “it snapped something in him” leading him to hurl bottles at her.
“He picked them up and started using them like grenades or bombs...throwing one after another in my direction.”
She said he threw all the bottles within reach except a large magnum of wine.
Depp’s lawyer Eleanor Laws said Heard’s account that the actor had severed his finger by smashing a phone against a wall and then continued to assault her was a lie.
“No it’s not,” she replied. “I don’t think he meant to sever the finger, but, yes, he carried on attacking me.”
Laws also accused Heard of stubbing a cigarette out on Depp’s cheek. “No, Johnny did it right in front of me. He often did things like that,” she said.--Reuters!!
