Johnny Depp hoped Amber Heard's 'rotting corpse was decomposing in trunk of Honda Civic'
Reportedly, Johnny Depp repeatedly called Amber Heard a c**t and also texted his friend saying that he hoped Heard's "rotting corpse was decomposing in the f**king trunk of a Honda Civic." This was revealed in court on Wednesday, April 13, when his text messages were read out loud.
These allegations surfaced on day two of the testimony in Depp's defamation suit against his ex-wife, Heard. These text messages were revealed when Heard's attorney called Depp's close friend as the second witness at the trial.

'It's just Amber's face': Isaac Baruch says he DIDN'T see physical marks of abuse on Amber Heard
Elaine Bredehoft, Amber Heard's attorney, read a series of texts while she was cross-examining Isaac Baruch. Baruch is one of Depp's closest friends, and has known the actor for 42 years. In a text from 2016 that was read out loud by Bredehoft in court, Depp said to Baruch, "That c**t ruined such a cool life we had for a while." Baruch has been living at his best friend Depp's multi million dollar properties for years, free of rent. When he was questioned about these texts, he simply tried to brush them off. The primary question Bredehoft was asking was whether Depp often referred to Heard using such intense terms.
What Baruch said next made the courtroom gallery burst into laughter. Baruch said, “He’s called me a c–t in a text." Depp, 58, is seeking $50 million in damages from his ex-wife Heard, 35. Depp claims she defamed him when she said she was a victim of sexual violence in 2018. While Depp was not directly named in the op-ed, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor stated that his reputation and career both went downhill after it was widely assumed Heard was writing about her and Johnny's five-year long relationship.
Over 50 of Depp's fans flooded the courtroom and they gave Heard cold looks when she entered in a black suit with gold embellishments. One fan was even banned from re-entering the courtroom after the trial break. In the hallway, five young women rushed to Baruch and yelled, "Tell Johnny we love him.”
Later, Depp's attorney, Benjamin Chew questioned Baruch. Baruch spoke in a detailed manner about Depp's magnanimity, saying Depp gave him $100,000 over the years and that he lived in a penthouse on the top floor of Eastern Columbia Building next to the couple. Baruch added that he once loved Heard who was "totally respectful, gracious to me.” He added, "She’s got great teeth. She treated me with complete respect."
Further, Baruch also testified that he never saw Depp physically abuse Heard but he did see Heard change the locks at her home after claiming that she and Depp fought and he got violent. Baruch said he saw no bruises or marks on Heard’s face and told jurors she was not wearing makeup.
