Johnny Depp Grilled About Texts Describing Violence Against Amber Heard

Johnny Depp faced withering cross-examination Thursday in the defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, whose attorneys questioned the actor about his history of drinking, drug use and grisly text messages he sent to friends about his then-wife. Depp has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Heard, claiming she libeled him in a 2018 op-ed piece for The Washington Post about domestic violence. In the article, she said she was a "public figure representing domestic abuse."
