He said that he was a victim of domestic violence and that he had abused himself.

One of the bottles Heard threw at Depp shattered and severed his finger, as he recounted a fight the couple had in Australia in 2015.

Heard has denied throwing bottles at Depp and said he injured his finger while attacking her.

After he was hurt, he wrote bloody messages on a wall and other surfaces, but he sent a doctor a text saying that his finger had been cut off.

During a fight on her 30th birthday, Heard punched him in the face several times and he later found fecal matter in their bed, but he believes she put it there.

During cross-examination, Heard's lawyers shared text messages that he sent to her in which he called her a "slippery w**e" and said he will.

He wanted to continue to play Captain Jack Sparrow in future Pirates of the Caribbean installments, but was fired from the franchise because of Heard's allegations.

Heard obtained a temporary restraining order against him after she filed for divorce from him, which he denied. In a joint statement, they said that their relationship was passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm. Heard sued Depp for $100 million. A judge ruled against him in 2020 after finding there was overwhelming evidence that he was a wife-beater. The trial is expected to last six weeks. Heard is also expected to testify.
