Johnny Depp testifies Heard attacked him, he never hit back
CTV
Actor Johnny Depp scoffed at the notion during court testimony Wednesday that his constant quarrels with ex-wife Amber Heard would ever prompt him to hit her, and insisted on cross-examination that her allegations devastated his career.
"Violence isn't necessary," Depp said from the stand during his libel lawsuit against Heard, his second day of testimony. "Why would you hit someone to make them agree with you?"
Heard has accused Depp of physically and sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions before and during their brief marriage. The former "Pirates of the Caribbean" star sued after Heard, who is also an actor, made an indirect reference to those accusations in an op-ed piece she wrote for The Washington Post.
Depp addressed Heard's accusations in detail Wednesday. Heard has said the first time she was assaulted was when Depp slapped her in 2013 after she made fun of a tattoo he had -- one that used to say "Winona Forever" when he was dating the actress Winona Ryder that he altered to "Wino Forever" after they broke up.
"It didn't happen," he said of the alleged assault. "Why would I take such great offense to someone making fun of a tattoo on my body? That allegation never made any sense to me."
