Johnny Depp was an ‘obsessed ex-husband hell-bent on revenge’, a court has heard, as the actor’s defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard got underway in the US state of Virginia.
Lawyers on behalf of the Justice League actress said Mr Depp had sought to ‘ruin her life’ and that the situation was ‘disturbing, but not surprising’.
He initially launched the $50million lawsuit in 2019, saying the accusations have made it difficult for him to get the sorts of roles he used to. ‘I wish I could say that it’s surprising. It’s disturbing but not surprising. He was an obsessed ex-husband, hellbent on revenge…as his career was in free-fall and her career was talking off.’
These included a ‘drug binge’ with his ‘good friend’ Marilyn Manson and a ‘blackout’ in Australia, which Ms Heard had previously described as a ‘three-day hostage situation’.But Mr Depp’s lawyers argued that theand the actress was ‘preparing to give the performance of a lifetime’ during the proceedings.
