One of Amber Heard’s lawyers read some of the messages that the pair of actors exchanged during their tortuous relationship in a Fairfax court. It seems that Johnny Depp acknowledged years ago in a text message to his ex-wife, also an actress, that he was acting like a “savage” and that he wanted to change his behavior.
In one of them, the The actor acknowledged that he had gone “too far” and promised to work with his psychologist to modify his behavior, which was then conditioned by drug and alcohol use, according to Heard.
“I’m sorry for being less (than it should). For disappointing you, for my behavior. I’m a fucking savage. I have to end that! I have to put an end to that!“, Said the message that Depp sent to his ex-wife on 18 December 2014 and that was read today at the trial.
The lawsuit was initiated by the protagonist of “Pirates of the Caribbean”, who accuses his ex-wife of defamation for an article she published in The Washington Post in 2018, after his divorce, in which he claimed to have suffered “domestic abuse”.
Depp has already testified for two days and, on both occasions, has denied having assaulted physically to Heard. On this third day of testimony, the strategy of Heard’s lawyers was to read to the jurors those text messages in which Depp alluded to incidents between the two and in which he acknowledged having acted inappropriately.
The lawyers also read messages in which the actor used derogatory language against his ex-partner.
For example, in a message to one of his sisters, the actor said January 17 2013: “The idiot cow! I’ll punch the ugly bitch before I let her in, don’t worry. Has that worthless bitch arrived yet?”
In another message he referred to her as a “dirty bitch”. During the interrogation, Heard’s lawyer repeatedly asked Deep if he had correctly read the content of the messages, to which the actor replied in the affirmative.
Meanwhile, Heard, also present in the room , listened in silence to the testimony of his ex-partner. During three years of legal struggle Depp, of 58 years, and Heard, of 35, have publicly shared details about their life together and in which the actress claimed, in various ways, to have been a victim of ill-treatment.
The actor asks his ex-partner for $50 million dollars in damages. For his part, Heard has responded with a counterclaim in which he alleges that Depp has launched a smear campaign against him and claims $100 million of dollars.
It is the first time that the two celebrities face each other in court: in the trial held in 2020 in London, and that Depp lost, the actress came as a witness, since the accusation was against the British newspaper The Sun for an article that described the actor as an “aggressor of women”.
