Amber Heard talks about the first time Johnny Depp hit her
During the trial, the actress shared that she was a victim of Depp’s regular outbursts. She was asked about the first time she was hit by the actor, she shared the instance. She told, “I will never forget it. It changed my life. I was sitting on the couch having a normal conversation. He was drinking. I think he was using cocaine because there was a jar – a jar – of cocaine on the table. There’s music playing, smoking cigarettes and I ask him about the tattoo he has on his arm.”
She went on, “To me, it looked like black marks, I didn’t know what it said. I said what does it say. He said it says Wino and I thought he was joking and I laughed. He slapped me across the face and I laughed. I laughed because I didn’t know what else to do. I thought this must be a joke. Because I didn’t know what was going on.”
She also added that Depp then abused her and slapped her once again. And then the third time, really hard. That is when she realized it wasn’t a joke. She went on to describe how she felt after being slapped.
