Amber Heard details fights, accuses ex-husband Johnny Depp of physical, sexual abuse in second day of testimony
CBSN
Editor's note: Some testimony contains graphic language and descriptions of sexual and physical assault.
Actor Amber Heard tearfully told jurors Thursday that Johnny Depp sexually assaulted her with a liquor bottle in an alcohol-fueled rage as she returned to the stand Thursday, her second day of testimony in the civil trial for the $50 million libel lawsuit filed by her ex-husband.
Depp is suing Heard for libel over a December 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post she wrote describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." His lawyers say he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name.
