“She has a need for conflict. She has a need for violence. She comes out of nowhere”Depp testified. “The only thing I’ve learned to do is exactly what I did as a kid: retire.”
Heard has accused Depp of repeatedly punching, kicking and choking her over the course of their relationship. Depp sued Heard for $50 million in 2019 after she published an opinion piece in the Washington Post in which she alluded to her domestic violence allegations.
Depp began his testimony yesterday, denying that he had ever hit Heard or any other woman. He said he was pursuing the lawsuit to clear the record of his “appalling and disturbing” allegations.
As he continued his testimony on Wednesday, Depp again emphasized that he never responded with violence.
“Violence is unnecessary”, he claimed. “Why would you beat up someone to agree with you? I do not think it works”.
He said that Heard would also scold him for his substance use and the conflicts with Heard would drive him to use more.
“The constant harangues break you down,” he said. “I was more inspired by Ms. Heard to look for an anesthetic agent because of the constant fighting.”
Heard will take the stand later in the trial, which is expected to conclude in late May.
