As part of Depp’s defamation lawsuit against Heard, the actor accused his ex-wife of domestic violence – as well as obtaining her 2016 restraining order against him by walking into court with ‘painted-on bruises.’ Depp continued to accuse Heard of abuse in his statement:
“She was the perpetrator, and I was the victim. While mixing prescription amphetamines and non-prescription drugs with alcohol, Ms. Heard committed innumerable acts of domestic violence against me, often in the presence of a third-party witness, which in some instances caused me serious bodily harm. She also repeatedly and frequently threw objects into my body and head, including heavy bottles, soda cans, burning candles, television remote controls, and paint thinner cans, which severely injured me.”
