Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterAmber Heard broke down in sobs on Thursday as she told a jury that her ex-husband Johnny Depp had sexually assaulted her with a bottle during a fight in Australia.Heard took the stand for the second day, as she continued to recount a series of violent incidents that marked their relationship.
She said that the fight in Australia — during filming of the fifth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film in March 2015 — was prompted by Depp’s jealousy and her concern about his drug use.She said that Depp had repeatedly hit her, threw bottles at her, and choked her against a refrigerator, before finally getting her on top of a countertop and penetrating her with a bottle.“I remember just not wanting to move,” she said.
