The defamation case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has been many things, but it’s never been boring. Each witness has shared shocking information about the former couple’s relationship, and certain pieces of evidence have given insight into how each partner allegedly treated the other.
One of those pieces of evidence was a recording of Heard admitting to physically abusing Depp. “I’m sorry that I didn’t hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you. I was not punching you … You didn’t get punched, you got hit. I’m sorry, I hit you like this, but I did not punch you,” Heard said to Depp in the recording. She later told Depp, “You are such a baby. Grow the f*** up, Johnny.”
Depp went on to describe the recordings as “the tone, and the aggression, and the attitude, and the need for a fight from Ms. Heard,” adding that he had become accustomed to that behavior, and once blocked a bathroom door in an attempt to keep her from coming in.
