Johnny Depp Accused Amber Heard Of Having Affairs With Leonardo DiCaprio, Other Actors

On the 10th day of Johnny Depp’s libel lawsuit against the News Group Newspapers (NGN), Amber Heard took the stand to share details about her marriage to her ex. During her testimony in London’s High Court, the actress claimed that Depp accused her of having affairs with Leonardo DiCaprio, Channing Tatum, and other actors.

Depp is suing NGN after their media outlet, The Sun, published an article in 2018 that called the actor a “wife-beater.” The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star has denied accusations that he has been violent with his ex-wife and has already taken the stand.

However, during Heard’s witness statement, the “Aquaman” star claimed that Depp often accused her of having affairs with other actors. “He would insist every male actor was trying to sleep with me and/or that I had had an affair with them, that he’d spoken to people and knew all about it,” she explained.

“He accused me of having affairs with each of my co-stars, movie after movie: Eddie Redmayne, James Franco, Jim Sturgess, Kevin Costner, Liam Hemsworth, Billy-Bob Thornton, Channing Tatum; even women co-stars like Kelly Garner.”

Heard claimed Depp’s jealousy resulted in him using insults about her male co-stars to tease her. “He also accused me of having affairs with stars I auditioned with, like Leonardo DiCaprio. He would taunt me about it - especially when he was drunk or high - and had derogatory nicknames for every one of my male co-stars he considered a sexual threat,” she said.

“For example, Leonardo DiCaprio was ‘pumpkin-head.’ Channing Tatum was potato-head,’” Heard added.

The 34-year-old claimed Depp’s became more controlling over time, and it began to affect her career. “His rules got tighter every year we were together about what nudity or scenes were acceptable, wanting descriptions of every detail, every aspect of scenes, and how they were covered, placing increasing restrictions on what I could and couldn’t do.”

Depp previously accused Heard of becoming violent with him, however, the actress denied his allegations. She said that during arguments she would “try to defend myself when he got serious, and when I thought my life was threatened, but I was never violent towards him.”

Along with her testimony, Heard also submitted a written witness statement to the court.
