Johnny Depp today took revenge on his ex-wife Amber Heard from the stand, accusing her of drinking two bottles of wine a night, chopping up his lines of cocaine and taking them herself, secretly filming him, having an affair and irrationally flying off the handle if he did not feed her ‘need for attention’.

The Hollywood legend was re-examined by his barrister at the High Court in London after days of damaging allegations by his ex-wife Heard that he attacked her on 14 separate occasions in his libel action against The Sun.

He accused the 34-year-old actress of undermining his effort to go sober by keeping a bottle of Bulleit bourbon in the fridge for him as she drank up to three bottles of wine a night and routinely took recreational drugs.

Depp claimed that Heard ‘definitely poured me whisky’ and chopped cocaine for him before rubbing it ‘on her gum’ as the High Court heard about her ‘history of substance abuse, including addiction to cocaine and liquor’. 

The 57-year-old actor said his ex-wife would go ballistic at ‘small, mundane issues’ such as whether she took his boots off or whether he put his arm around her while watching TV on the sofa.

He told the High Court today: ‘It was almost as if there were rules, she has a routine and if that routine isn’t met to her standards then there was going to be a problem.’

Depp’s barrister David Sherborne asked what would happen if he broke his ex-wife’s ‘rules’, to which Depp replied: ‘An argument would ensue and all hell would break loose.’

The actor also claimed that Heard repeatedly secretly filmed him and claimed that his notorious video rant shown to court on Tuesday in which he said ‘I’ll give you f***ing crazy’ had ‘nothing to do with’ Heard.

Fielding questions from Sherborne, he told the High Court: ‘The monster story was something that Ms Heard…

she rather liked the idea that I was the monster.

‘If you have had an argument and you are trying to explain your position in an argument and things do escalate, that for her would become the monster.

‘Any time I didn’t comply or agree with what was her position, then she would call it the monster and then the monster grew from there into this whole whatever she wanted it to be, and she used it quite a lot.’

Depp is suing The Sun for libel after it labelled him a ‘wife beater’.

He has called the accusation ‘utter falsity’ and ‘fraudulent’ and has claimed Heard abused him throughout their marriage.
