Johnny Depp’s bodyguard claims 'high' Amber Heard called 's**t in the bed' a joke gone wrong
According to Johnny Depp's security guard, Amber Heard became ill at Coachella after taking a mix of magic mushrooms and red wine on an empty stomach. Starling Jenkins III, a Depp employee, appeared in a Virginia court on Thursday, April 28 via a pre-recorded deposition in which the counsels of both sides questioned him.
Jenkins, unlike Depp's other witnesses, did not make any disparaging statements about Heard but described her as "pleasant" and "cordial." The focus then shifted to Heard's infamous 30th birthday party, at which the former couple had an enormous brawl. Depp's tardiness for the party, which was hosted at one of his Downtown Los Angeles apartments, had apparently irritated the actress. According to Jenkins, Heard informed him the next day that she had tossed Depp's belongings from the balcony and admitted to throwing his phone and credit cards in a fit of rage.

The security guard tracked Depp's phone to Skid Row using the 'Find My iPhone' app. He was able to locate the homeless man who was in possession of the iPhone, six kilometers away from the apartment. The guard said that in exchange for the phone, he gave the man $420, a bottle of Fiji water, and chicken tacos. After the brawl, Jenkins was in charge of transporting Heard to Coachella. He said she admitted to putting feces in Depp's bed during the vacation, claiming it was only a "practical joke gone horribly wrong." Jenkins claims Heard had a lot of mushrooms and wine at the festival and that he had to assist her when she became ill due to a lack of food.
Earlier this week, the jury heard Depp's divorce lawyer detail a list of demands Heard made after filing her 2016 divorce but before asking for a restraining order. The list includes exclusive use of a black Range Rover and three condos in a Downtown Los Angeles building owned by Depp. Heard is scheduled to testify this week to give her version of the story.
During the opening remarks, Heard's lawyer, Ben Rottenborn, stated that evidence will show that Depp subjected her to domestic abuse that "took many forms," including physical, emotional, mental, and mental assault, as well as "sexual violence at Depp's hands." According to a Depp representative, the assertion is "fanciful." Depp, who has previously sworn under oath that he has never struck Heard or any other woman, said earlier this week that Heard's allegations had cost him "nothing short of everything."
In November 2020, Depp lost a high-profile libel case in the United Kingdom against the British tabloid The Sun for calling him a "wife-beater." The court found the outlet's allegations "substantially truthful," and Heard testified to back them up.
