Johnny Depp denied the abuse allegations against him as he took the stand Tuesday in his $50 million defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, and described being physically and emotionally tormented by his mother as a child.
The actor said Heard’s accusations of domestic violence against him were “not based in any species of truth” as he testified in front of a seven-person jury at a Fairfax, Virginia, courtroom, where Heard was present.
“Never did I, myself, reach the point of striking Ms. Heard in any way, nor have I ever struck any woman in my life,” Depp, 58, said.
