Amber Heard Sticks to Her Story in Johnny Depp’s Libel Trial

She said “some incidents were so severe that I was afraid he was going to kill me, either intentionally or just by losing control and going too far.”

According to Heard, Depp “explicitly threatened to kill me many times, especially later in our relationship.” She said he blamed his actions on “a self-created third party” that he referred to as “the monster.”

Heard told the court that she loved Depp when he was himself but that she was “terrified of the monster.”

The court is examining Depp’s libel suit against The Sun newspaper over an April 2018 article that labelled him a “wife beater” for allegedly abusing Heard.

Depp, 57, is suing The Sun’s publisher, News Group Newspapers, and the paper’s executive editor, Dan Wootton, over the article.

The Hollywood star strongly denies abusing Heard and was at the court to hear his ex-wife.

In the first nine days of testimony at the High Court, judge Andrew Nicol heard from Depp and from several current or former employees who have backed his version of events.

Heard's testimony is expected to last for four days, through Thursday.
