Johnny Depp to court: Never in my life committed sexual battery, physical abuse

johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial: The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 58, sued Heard for $50 million and argued that she defamed him when she called herself  'a public figure representing domestic abuse'.

Bangalore: Actor Johnny Depp returned to the witness stand on Wednesday to refute ex-wife Amber Heard's testimony in their defamation battle, saying the abuse claims she levelled against him were "unimaginably brutal, cruel and false."

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, 58, sued Heard for $50 million and argued that she defamed him when she called herself "a public figure representing domestic abuse." Heard, 36, has countersued for $100 million, saying Depp smeared her when his lawyer said her accusations were a "hoax."

On Wednesday, Depp and his attorneys worked to rebut Heard's testimony that he physically and sexually abused her multiple times before and during their marriage, which ended in 2017.

Depp offered a string of adjectives to describe his reaction to Heard's accounts during the trial, now in its sixth and final week. "Horrible, ridiculous, humiliating, ludicrous, painful, savage," Depp said, adding "unimaginably brutal, cruel and false. All false."

"No human being is perfect" he said. "But I have never in my life committed sexual battery, physical abuse."
