TIL Desk Hollywood/ Actress Amber Heard says a perceived affair with fellow actor James Franco led to ex-husband Johnny Depp assaulting her on a cross-country flight in 2014. Taking the stand for a second day as part of a multi-million dollar defamation trial, Heard cast Depp as deeply troubled by jealousy and drugs.
Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over an article in which she said she was a victim of abuse .She is countersuing for $100 million. On Thursday, Heard reportedly said that much of her ex-husband’s anger was caused by his belief that she was seeing James Franco, whom she said Depp “hated”. Franco starred alongside Heard in ‘Pineapple Express’ and ‘The Adderall Diaries’.
That jealousy, she claimed, led an angry Depp to repeatedly question her on a flight from Boston to Los Angeles, in which he allegedly kicked her. “He just kicked me in the back. I fell on the floor,” she said. “No one said anything. No one did anything. It’s like you could hear a pin drop on that plane.
