Actor Johnny Depp has resumed his testimony in court in Virginia, where he has sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation. He discussed changing the nature of his relationship with Amber.
Depp accused him of calling her names and derogatory comments in order for their relationship to escalate into debate.
"I was not allowed to be right, I was not allowed to speak," Depp said. An argument between the former couple in 2015 sparked an incident, according to Depp. Amber threw him a bottle of vodka in contact with his hand and broke it.
"She threw the big bottle and it slammed into my hand and broke everywhere. Then I looked down and realized that the tip of the finger had been cut. "I do not know what a nervous breakdown is, but it was the feeling closest to a nervous breakdown."
Heard has denied the claim.
In the testimony, the Oscar-nominated actor spoke in detail about Amber Heard allegations of domestic abuse, his story with substance abuse and the experiences of having an abusive mother.
"Slowly you realize you are in a relationship with your mother, in a sense," Depp said of the dynamics with Heard, comparing the abuse he says he experienced from his mother to Heard's alleged abuse.
Avokati i tij e pyeti pse ai qëndroi me Amber pasi marrëdhënia e tyre u përkeqësua. "Doja të përpiqesha ta bëja të funksiononte," tha Johnny Depp. "Zonja Heard kishte folur për vetëvrasje në disa raste, kështu që kjo gjithashtu ndikonte.”
I pyetur se çfarë ka humbur nga akuzat e Heard për abuzim, Depp u përgjigj: "Asgjë më pak se gjithçka".
“Kur u ngritën akuzat, kur po qarkullonin me shpejtësi në mbarë globin, duke u thënë njerëzve se isha një kërcënim i dehur, i ushqyer me kokainë që rrahu një grua papritmas në të 50-at e mia, ka marrë fund. Mori fund.”
"Unë përpiqesha ta zgjoja me të qeshura, duke i kënduar këngë budallaqe në vesh. Në përgjithësi thjesht përpiqesha t'i përmirësoja humorin. Ndonjëherë funksiononte, shumë herë jo. Por u përpoqa," shtoi ai.
