Johnny Depp accused Amber Heard of giving “grossly embellished” accounts of his substance abuse. The 58-year-old actor is suing his ex-wife for defamation over a Washington Post oped she wrote, in which she referred to herself as a victim of domestic violence, and she has countersued her former spouse, with the legal battle taking place in Virginia.
On Tuesday, Johnny took the stand at Fairfax County Courthouse, and though he admitted to developing an addiction to pain medication following an injury on the set of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4’, taking his mother’s “nerve pills” from the age of just 11, and indulging in various substances over the years to “numb myself of the ghosts, the wraiths that were still with me from my youth, he insisted the ‘Aquaman’ star had made some “plainly false” allegations relating to his use of drugs and alcohol.
Highlighting various long periods of sobriety over the years and explaining how he had detoxed from the prescription drugs, he told the court: “The characterisation of my ‘substance abuse’ that’s been delivered by Ms Heard is grossly embellished.
“And I’m sorry to say, but a lot of it is just plainly false. I think that it was an easy target for her to hit. Because once you’ve trusted somebody for a certain amount of years, and you’ve told them all the secrets of your life, that information can, of course, be used against you.
The ‘Edward Scissorhands’ actor also looked back on the early days of his relationship with Amber and admitted she seemed “too good to be true”, though he was aware of things that “might be a bit of a dilemma at some point.
