Johnny Depp's jealousy, substance abuse recounted by friends

Johnny Depp's libel suit against ex-wife Amber Heard returned to the themes of Depp's jealousy and substance abuse Thursday.

Bruce Witkin, a musician who was friends with Depp for nearly 40 years, said the actor's jealousy in romantic relationships was first on display decades ago. "He can definitely have a jealous streak in him,” Witkin said during a video deposition recorded in February and played in court Thursday.

Depp demonstrated some of that jealousy during his relationship with Vanessa Paradis, his former partner of 14 years, “and a lot of it was in his head and not reality,” Witkin said.

Depp's jealousy was also on display when he was with Heard and she was off filming a movie “or doing something that he couldn't be around to see what was going in,” Witkin said. “I think he would work himself up. ” Witkin said he once saw bruises on Heard's arm when he and Depp were working on a documentary about Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
