Johnny Depp’s texts read out in court as actor wrote about wanting to ‘drown then burn Amber’

Attorneys for actor Amber Heard sought to undermine Johnny Depp’s libel lawsuit against her on Thursday by spending hours in court focused on the actor’s drinking, drug use and texts he sent to friends - including one about wanting to kill and defile his then-wife.

Heard’s lawyers referenced Depp’s history of trashing hotel rooms and his smashing of a bathroom light during an argument with Heard. Depp is also facing a lawsuit filed by a member of a film crew who alleges he was assaulted in 2018.
