However, the doorman said it was caused by their dog, much to Depp’s amusement as he was seen laughing in the courtroom as Romero’s testimony played. He said: ‘What? Four inches above the [floor]?

Johnny Depp is reportedly set to take the stand today in his defamation trial against Amber Heard to speak on the claims that she defecated on his bed.The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 58, is suing his ex-wife, 35, for libel after she penned an op-ed in the Washington Post, with the headline: ‘I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change’.She discussed her experiences of domestic abuse in the 2018 article, but did not mention her former partner by name.Despite not being named, Depp’s lawyers have said that this ‘falsely implies’ that Heard was subjected to abuse during their marriage –  the actor is seeking $50million (£39m) in damages.While the court has heard from various witnesses, the actor will testify on his own behalf on Tuesday at the Fairfax County Courthouse in Virginia.The actor will speak on the claims that Heard defecated in his bed (which her rep previously denied), according to TMZ.Pictures of poo claimed to be Heard’s and found in Depp’s bed were previously shown to the court during the actor’s libel trial against The Sun newspaper, which he lost.Depp’s housekeeper at his penthouse in the Eastern Columbia building in LA, who had come across the defecated bed, gave evidence.Hilda Vargas told the court that she had taken photographs of the faeces, after being left ‘horrified’ and ‘disgusted’.Vargas said that she believed the faeces in the bed was from a human – ruling out that it could have come from the two dogs, Pistol and Boo, owned by Depp and Heard, as the pets couldn’t reach the bed on their own.In his written statement, Depp accused Heard or ‘one of her friends’ of defecating in the couple’s marital bed back in 2016.
