Amber Heard‘s 39-page witness statement in the ongoing Johnny Depp lawsuit against News Group Newspapers is quite the thing to behold…
From near-constant threats of violence, to disturbing actions on her birthday, to a scary incident involving the couple’s dog, and even wild accusations about multiple alleged affairs while working on set with A-list superstars, Heard’s long testimony about her former husband’s alleged actions truly runs the gamut.

In the legal doc put forth as part of Depp’s ongoing lawsuit and trial against The Sun, the 34-year-old actress feared she’d eventually die in an attack by the Pirates of the Caribbean star. Calling herself “powerless” against the alleged abuse, she claimed at one point Johnny allegedly “compressed her neck” and told her:
“I’m going to f**king kill you and I’ll f**k your corpse.”
Whoa!
Amber recalled this 2015 trip to Australia to visit Johnny, saying it was like a “three-day hostage situation.” Noting how he had already been using and had a bag of drugs, she remembered:
“It is the worst thing I have ever been through. I was left with an injured lip and nose, and cuts on my arms.”
Heard added he grabbed her neck as he shoved her against a fridge, tearing off her nightgown and pushing her against a bar:
“He was pressing so hard on my neck I couldn’t breathe. I was trying to tell him that I couldn’t breathe. I remember thinking he was going to kill me in that moment.”
Later, she found the nightgown torn to shreds and wrapped around a piece of meat:
“There were pieces of it wrapped round something and I realised it was the steak I had planned to cook. He had ripped the gown into pieces and put raw meat in it. He had also gone around and painted on all my clothes in the closet.”
In her written statement, the Austin-native refuted the 57-year-old’s recollection of events, including how he severed his finger, sharing how he was “completely out of his mind and out of control”:
“I would be very surprised if he remembers anything about the whole event; he was in such a state.”
She went far beyond that, too, dubbing Depp “the monster” during their three years of marriage and recalling how she allegedly had things thrown at her, and was punched, headbutted, kicked, and strangled only to apparently be told the only way for her to leave their marriage was death.
“Some incidents were so severe that I was afraid he was going to kill me, either intentionally, or just by losing control and going too far.”
Amber further shared:
“When I say he was dark, he had a violent and dark way of speaking: the way he talked about our relationship being ‘dead or alive’ and telling me that death was the only way out of the relationship.”
Describing Depp’s “unique ability to use his charisma to convey a certain impression of reality” and how “he is very good at manipulating people,” she explained:
“He would blame all his actions on a self-created third party instead of himself, which he often called ‘the monster.’ He would speak about it as if it was another person or personality and not him doing all these things.”
Heard also stated how Depp repeatedly threatened to have her raped by other men, including one time after a fight on an airplane when he reportedly said:
“When we land, I can call some black brothers who can f**k you if you’re so desperate for it.”
Wow…
Disturbing sexual accusations seem to be a theme with Depp’s alleged actions. The star’s complaint cited how he allegedly accused her of having on-set affairs with no less than NINE co-stars, including Eddie Redmayne, James Franco, Jim Sturgess, Kevin Costner, Liam Hemsworth, Billy-Bob Thornton, Channing Tatum, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even female leads like Kelli Garner. WTF?!
Depp’s lawyer, Eleanor Laws QC, even asked Heard about a January 2015 fight supposedly about a prenup, with Amber revealing:
“There was an argument in a hotel room in Tokyo that resulted in Johnny kneeling on my back and hitting me on the back of the head. But then Johnny was also accusing me of having an affair with a co-star and that is what led to the actual argument.”
Divulging how it was Johnny’s sister, Christi Dembrowski, and not him, who wanted them to get a prenup put together, she claimed she hired a lawyer to draft one up, but his team never signed it. The actress told the court she had no interest in her then-husband’s money:
“I never had been, I never was.”
And when asked about if she was ever “violent” towards him, she replied “no,” instead, revealing how she was faced with “unimaginable frustrations and difficulties, often that were life-threatening to me.” According to her, it was “years into the relationship” before she would “try to defend myself when he got serious and when I thought my life was threatened, but I was never violent towards him.”
Laws, who brought up audio of Johnny claiming Amber would throw “pots and pans,” had her replying it’s “not what it sounds like”, but rather, she did that “only to escape” her partner. Other bombshell accusations in her witness statement included:
- Any time Heard tried to “seduce” Johnny while wearing “something sexy,” he allegedly would call her “whore,” “slut,” “fame-hungry,” and an “attention whore.”
- One night, Johnny allegedly told Amber he was “going to have to watch you get raped,” and “I hope you get railed by a bunch of f**king fellas.”
- Depp allegedly took the couple’s dog, Boo, and held her out of the window of a moving car while himself “howling like a dog.”
- Heard claimed he kicked her “hard in the back” on a 2014 Boston to Los Angeles fight.
- On her 30th birthday in 2016, Heard claimed Depp repeatedly “pushed her over, smashed pictures and photographs around the apartment, and left a note saying ‘Happy F**king Birthday.'”
Wow…
Of course, both parties now have been none too shy about accusing the other of misconduct and (often violent) misdeeds. Just last week, Depp detailed his severed finger injury, which allegedly occurred at the hands of his now estranged wife, while airing further dirty laundry about Kate Moss, Ellen Barkin, and other celebs, as well.
