Johnny Depp says he's 'never struck' ex-wife Amber Heard branding claim 'heinous'

Johnny Depp was questioned by lawyers about his abusive childhood as the Pirates of the Caribbean star took to the stand today in his defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard. The former spouses are squaring off over a 2018 op-ed she wrote for the Washington Post calling herself a domestic violence survivor.

“About six years ago Miss Heard made some quite heinous and disturbing criminal acts against me that were not based in any species of truth,” Depp said.

“It was a complete shock that it would, it just didn’t need to go in that direction as nothing of the kind had ever happened.

“Through the relationship, there were arguments and things of that nature but never did I myself reach the point of striking Miss Heard in any way nor have I ever struck any woman in my life.”

“Truth is the only thing I’m interested in. Lies will get you nowhere, but lies build upon lies and build upon lies,’ Depp said. “I’m obsessed with the truth.”
