Depp and his ex-wife Heard are currently facing off in a bitter $50million defamation lawsuit in Virginia, with the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star accusing her of making false accusations of abuse that resulted in him being blacklisted by Hollywood. Heard denies fabricating the accusations, and is counter-suing Depp for $100million.

Johnny Depp’s reaction to the court finally getting to hear the audio tape in which Amber Heard admits to abusing him

The second week in court on Thursday concluded with members of the jury being shown video and audio of Depp’s ‘violent episodes’. Heard’s legal team are working to portray Depp as an out-of-control alcoholic and drug addict, while he is claiming that his ex-wife was the aggressor during their heated arguments.

During Depp’s testimony, he told the court that she would bully him, call him names, threaten to harm herself if he left her, and used hard drugs throughout their marriage.

In one instance, 58-year-old Depp recalled how ‘Aquaman’ actress Heard, 36, told him that his two children – Lily-Rose Depp, 22 and son John Christopher ‘Jack’ Depp III, 20 – disliked him and that he was a ‘bad father’.

Depp claimed that the truth was that his children did not like Heard.

But to counter this claim, Heard’s team shared an email that Depp wrote in 2013 to Elton John via email, in which he complained about French model and actress Ms Paradis, now 49 – whom he was with for about 14 years from 1998 to 2012.

In the email, Depp confided in Sir Elton about his mother’s recovery from a health issue, before going on to tell the singer that his children had ‘fallen head over heels’ for Heard, and that his ex was trying to ‘brainwash’ his children against him.

‘On the other side of the coin… my kids have fallen head over heels in deep love with Amber (my girl) and that pressure off my shoulders is fucking gone!!!,’ he told Sir Elton. ‘That is unlike the ‘French extortionist (ex cunt) attempts to brain wash them against her… which, I’m sure is imminent.’
