It's Amber Heard's turn to share her side of the story in the ongoing libel case that was filed by her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, against a London newspaper. In the court hearing, Heard revealed how jealous Depp was with her former co-stars and he even accused her of cheating on him with other actors.
According to Heard, Depp considered almost all of her male co-stars as a sexual threat to him. The Aquaman actress told the court that Depp accused her of cheating with her co-stars such as Eddie Redmayne, James Franco, Kevin Costner, Liam Hemsworth, Billy-Bob Thornton, Channing Tatum, and even her female co-stars like Kelli Garner. She added that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor accused her of having an affair with Leonardo DiCaprio, whom she had auditioned with for a role.
The 34-year-old actress also revealed to the court that Depp would taunt her about her alleged affairs by calling these actors with derogatory nicknames. Heard said Depp called DiCaprio "pumpkin-head" while Tatum was "potato-head."
The court, previously, heard that the Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald actor mocked Heard in text messages to his agent over an alleged affair with someone nicknamed "Mollusk." It's unclear whom "Mollusk" refers to but Depp earlier accused Heard of having affairs with Tesla founder Elon Musk.
Heard said Depp would try to catch her on her supposed affair by taking her phone and telling her that someone told him that she was having an affair. The actress added her former husband would act as if he had information to prove that she was having an affair.
The Magic Mike XXL actress added that Depp would also demand to check her scripts particularly the details of her romantic scenes. She said Depp would get upset whenever there were sex scenes in the script and when she filmed those.
She confessed that over the years of their marriage, Depp's restrictions became tighter on what scenes she could and couldn't do. The Justice League actress said this ultimately made her turn down roles and her salary grade decreased when she was still married to Depp.
In her written statement, Heard also accused Johnny Depp of physical abuse and having an "extremely controlling and intimidating behavior." The Rum Diary stars gave their respective testimony on the libel case that Depp filed against News Group Newspapers, the parent company of The Sun, over a 2018 article which labeled him a "wife-beater."
