Johnny Depp, reportedly, gave Amber Heard’s male co-stars derogatory nicknames if he saw them as a sexual threat.
Heard made the shocking allegations during her first day on the stand this week. According to the Aquaman actress, Johnny Depp was threatened by James Franco and Channing Tatum.
The actress claimed that Depp used to call Franco “pumpkin head,” while he referred to Tatum as “potato head.”
Johnny Depp allegedly accused Amber Heard of having multiple affairs
Heard also said that Depp regularly accused her of having affairs with her male co-stars one movie after another. The celebrities that Depp accused Heard of having an affair with include Eddie Redmayne, Jim Sturgess, Kevin Costner, Liam Hemsworth, Billy Bob Thornton, Franco, and Tatum.
“He also accused me of having affairs with stars I auditioned with, like Leonardo DiCaprio. He would taunt me about it – especially when he was drunk or high – and had derogatory nicknames for every one of my male co-stars he considered a sexual threat,” Heard said.
Amber Heard reportedly only became abusive to Depp to defend herself
The Rum Diary star also responded to the claims that she was the one who’s physically violent towards her ex-husband. Heard said she only started to defend herself from Depp years into their relationship. Before this, Heard, reportedly, just checked out.
Heard also responded to the allegations that she might have lied about the bruises and marks on her face and body. Depp’s lawyer said that when the actress went out a few days after the alleged assault incident, there were no marks on her face.
The actress said that this was because the paparazzi used a long lens to take her photos. And Heard also said that she usually wears heavy makeup to cover the marks on her face.
Johnny Depp praised by his former bodyguard
Depp’s former security guard, Rick Wood also took to the stand to defend the actor and expose Heard.
Wood said that Johnny Depp is very laid back and similar to his character Jack Sparrow.
“He stays in character so he’s pretty much Jack Sparrow — great bloke. I couldn’t see it in him and in my industry, you know who’s a wife-beater and who’s not,” he said.
Amber Heard reportedly loves making up stories
As for Heard, Wood said that he knows the actress loved to stir the pot.
“She made up this big drama she was leaving, taxis would turn up, we would have to wave them away and then we would pick up the suitcase and there was nothing in the suitcase at all,” he said.
Wood also said that Heard’s actions back then were just all for show.
According to Page Six, Heard isn’t on trial but she testified against Johnny Depp for, allegedly, being a wife-beater.
