Johnny Depp Drug Pics Shown in Court Along with Texts About Sex with Amber's Corpse
Johnny Depp Drug Abuse Pics, Private Texts Shown in Court ... Says He'd Have Sex with Amber's Dead Body
12:41 PM PT -- Johnny Depp's drug abuse was put on full display in court, as Heard's attorney entered several photo exhibits, including images of cocaine on a table and Johnny passed out cold.
One pic showed 4 lines of coke cut on a table, along with a glass of whisky and a Keith Richards CD. Heard's attorney Benjamin Rottenborn told the jury the photo was taken when Depp was filming a documentary about Keith, and he and Amber had gotten into a fight because Johnny thought she was cheating.
The pic of Depp passed out was taken while he was working long hours shooting the film "Black Mass" ... and he'd taken opioids to "stay normal." Another photo showed huge bags of marijuana, which Rottenborn says was shot in a recording studio.
Depp has made no secret of the fact he's battled addiction. In fact, during testimony he admitted he'd been hooked on Roxicodone. A source close to Depp tells us he'd made multiple attempts to get clean before successfully kicking the addiction.
10:23 AM PT -- A source close to Depp tells us, "Johnny Depp is a victim of abuse. He has been since Ms. Heard made her very first false allegation in 2016, and has continued to be subject to abuse ever since, as outlined in his testimony. Today's cross-examination by Ms. Heard's attorney has proven to be no exception."
They continue, "Mr. Rottenborn's aggressive and, coincidentally, “jack-hammer” approach toward a man who has suffered extensively over the last six years proves that the mistreatment of Johnny goes well beyond Ms. Heard's grievous behavior. Colorful texts, which Johnny has already apologized for, do not equate to physical actions and Mr. Rottenborn still has not been able to connect the two, nor will he ever be able to.”
Depp was asked about a fight he and Heard had on a plane in 2014. He said the argument stemmed from a scene she had to do with James Franco in an upcoming project. He said he believed Franco and Heard were having an affair.
Johnny Depp is getting grilled on the stand, with Amber Heard's lawyer showing the court text messages from Depp that say he'd do unspeakable things to Heard's corpse just to prove she was dead.
The actor's testimony continued on for the third day, and a string of texts between him and "WandaVision" actor Paul Bettany were presented during cross-examination ... talking about burning Heard's body, and what Depp would do to her after she died.
At one point in the texts, Depp says they should drown her before burning her body. Then, he writes, "I will f*** her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she is dead."
A source close to JD tells us the drowning line was in reference to the "She's a witch" scene from "Monty Python" -- one of Depp's favorite movies. However, it still doesn't explain the whole having sex with a corpse thing.
As the texts continue, Depp talks about being mentally messed up, talking about drinking bottles of alcohol and taking pills. Bettany is also expected to testify in this trial.
Depp has remained calm, cool and collected throughout the hearing -- with his legal team painting the picture of a peaceful man -- so you can imagine Heard's team brought up the texts to try and prove the opposite.
The lawyer read more texts from Depp, referring to Heard, from 2013 ... calling her a "workless hooker" and saying things like “I‘ll smack the ugly C**t around before I let her in don’t worry."
Johnny also talked about his drug use, using with Marilyn Manson, and being introduced to drugs at an early age.
As we reported, day 2 of Depp's testimony partially focused on the alleged human fecal matter found in their bed ... saying he found it "so outside, so bizarre and so grotesque that I could only laugh."
Later, he says Amber blamed it on their dogs, but Johnny noted their animals were tiny, and couldn't produce what had been left behind.
