'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Johny Depp had advised his former wife Amber Heard not to strip naked in films and dress appropriately at premieres if she wanted to be taken seriously as an actress. Depp had said that Heard would frequently complain about how she wanted roles that went beyond her being the "pretty girl" during the time the couple got married.

Depp had advised Heard to be 'more reserved' in the way she dressed, according to a report by the Evening Standard. Depp dubbed it as "actress bullsh*t" and had said that Heard did not pay any heed to his advice and "continued to do the same type of films," a court was told. "She would say that's actress bullsh*t and tell me how much she did not want to be objectified," Depp revealed. 

"She didn’t want to be looked at as a pretty girl, didn’t want to have to get her breasts out and be the pretty girl anymore. I said don't do it, you don’t have to," Depp added. An article from 2018 by The Sun had dubbed the actor as a "wife-beater" leading to him suing the publication for libel. He, in turn, denied ever being violent or raising a hand at Heard.

He says that Heard, in fact, was the abusive one who had only married him to get ahead in her career. Depp called the actress a "sociopath". "In my opinion, one should stick to their guns and not wear certain things to premieres that are revealing," Depp said. "If she didn’t want to be objectified, that I thought it best she try to be a little more reserved in her approach to her films and her approach to how she presents herself in public." "I would never tell her what to wear but I would certainly make mention if I thought what she was wearing was going completely against the grain of what she told me her wishes were," Depp continued. 

The long-awaited trial that began on Tuesday, July 7, will look at around 14 incidents where Depp is believed to have been violent towards Heard.

We had earlier reported that in his witness statement, Depp shared, "I do not believe that I have an overbearing, manipulative or controlling personality, or that anyone who knows me well would describe me that way." "In contrast, I believe that Amber had an obsessive need to control me and all situations in our relationship. I truly believe that most of the descriptions Amber provides are in fact reflections of her own behavior," he said of Heard. 

As Depp gave his testimony, Heard was sitting just a few feet away from him in the courtroom. On July 4, a judge threw out Depp's bid to have Heard banned from the court until she was called by NGN as a witness. If she was banned she wouldn't have been able to witness her ex-husband give evidence against her. In the testimony, Depp also shared that he decided to end the couple's tumultuous marriage after he found that Heard had defecated in his bed. Heard has denied any such claims.
