Johnny Depp on his ‘lowest point’
Whilst on the stand on Wednesday, Johnny Depp described a time when he needed his medication as the withdrawal effects from him not taking any drugs began to kick in, but Amber Heard refused to give him his medication.
He admits that this was his ‘lowest point’ and also revealed that he was begging and crying.

Audio recording of Amber Heard taunting Johnny Depp
The court on Wednesday was able to hear an audio recording in which Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are heard having a talk about their arguments.
Then, in the clip, Heard can be heard admitting to throwing objects at Depp and “hitting” him.
Johnny Depp on Amber Heard’s violent behaviour
During Wednesday’s session of the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, the 58-year-old detailed the way in which his ex-wife would be violent towards him.
This was best characterised by Depp‘s claim that “she has a need for conflict. She has a need for violence.”
This Thursday, April 21, will see the seventh day of the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard take place in Fairfax, Virginia. The reason for the trial is that Depp is suing Heard for 50 million dollars after she wrote a domestic abuse column in the Washington Post in 2018, which he claims is incorrect and has had knock-on effects in terms of his acting career. Heard, meanwhile, has stood by her claims and countersued Depp for 100 million dollars
The last two days have seen Depp take to the stand and discuss several moments from his relationship with Heard, as well as anecdotes from his life. Today will see Depp back on the stand for a third straight day, as the cross-examination goes up a notch after starting late in the day on Wednesday.
During yesterday’s session, Depp made the case that it was Heard who was the aggressor and not him, and he explained that his ex-wife mirrored the abuse his mother showed towards him.
The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star also discussed the infamous incident in Australia that saw him have his finger sliced open, human faeces – which he claims to be from Heard or a friend of Heard – being found on his side of the bed.
In addition, the court was able to hear an audio recording in which Heard told Depp “you didn’t get punched” and stated that “I was hitting you” during one argument between the former couple.
As has been the case for the last few days, the trial will resume at 10am local time, which is 3pm in England and 4pm in central Europe.
Johnny Depp trial LIVE coverage
In this live blog, we will provide the latest news and updates from the trial involving Depp and Heard, which is taking place in Fairfax, Virginia.
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp contentious split in 2015
Depp and Amber met on the set of “The Rum Diary” in 2009, married in 2015 and went to a contentious split, with charges of bad behavior levied by both sides.
The couple settled their divorce in August 2016, releasing a joint statement which read in part, “Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love.”
Heard had been unsuccessful in her attempts to get the suit dismissed. She filed a $100 million defamation countersuit against Depp in 2020, which is ongoing.
In 2020, Depp lost a libel case in the UK against News Group Newspapers and Dan Wootton, executive editor of The Sun, over an article that claimed Depp was violent toward Heard during their relationship. The court ruled in the publisher’s favor, determining the tabloid’s claims were shown to be “substantially true.”
