Amber Heard claims Johnny Depp said he'd sleep with her corpse

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp outside the court.

Amber Heard has claimed she feared Johnny Depp would kill her before threatening to "f*** her corpse" in court today. The actress, 34, is giving her testimony on the first day of week three of Depp's libel trial against NGN over a 2018 article in The Sun in which he was called a "wife-beater". Depp has denied being abusive to Heard during their marriage. In her witness statement Heard described an alleged attack in Australia in 2015, which she called a "three-day hostage situation" when she was stuck in their house with no way to leave.

Heard said: "Over the course of those three days, there were extreme acts of psychological, physical, emotional and other forms of violence. It is the worst thing I have ever been through. I was left with an injured lip and nose and cuts on my arms."
