Amber Heard was in attendance as her ex-husband denied abusing her when he was under the influence, but admitted jealousy prompted arguments — like when she filmed a movie with James Franco.

Franco, who worked with Heard on the 2015 film the Adderall Diaries, was brought up during Depp's cross-examination on Wednesday as he purportedly prompted a fight in May 2014 that the actress claims caused Depp to be violent.

Heard, which were sexual advances, him leaning over and saying I’m going to kiss you,” Depp replied.  “She had to sort of run from the advances at one point, that he was kind of non-stop, she felt he was creepy and rapey so I said a rapist.”.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star said he was also confused as Heard stated she no longer wanted to be a “sex object” in films.

Depp is suing the tabloid’s owner, News Group Newspapers (NGN), and the Sun executive editor, Dan Wootton, over a 2018 article which called him a “wife-beater.” Heard is aiding in the defense as she claims she was abused 14 times from from 2013 to 2016.

In his written witness statement, Depp called Heard a “pathological liar” and claimed she was the aggressor.

Hess read to the court a text message Depp sent to Heard after the flight: “Once again I find myself in a place of shame and regret.

When pressed on why he expressed “shame and regret,” Depp replied by speculating he sent the text just to placate Heard, according to journalist Nick Wallis.

In the first instance of abuse, Heard claims Depp slapped her three times after she laughed about his infamous “Wino Forever” tattoo in early 2013.

The original ink honored ex-fiancée Winona Ryder as it said “Winona Forever.” (Ryder filed a declaration of support for Depp in his $50 million defamation lawsuit against Heard in the U.S.) The court was shown an image Heard took of her bruised arm after the alleged incident, which Depp once again denied?

The pictures were taken by Heard in 2013, around the time she claims she was abused.

A text message Depp sent to his assistant, Stephen Deuters, was read in which the actor said Heard was upset by his “Peruvian” lifestyle.

Heard that she would in fact chop the cocaine up for me so that I could do the line and then she would press her finger into it and ingest it orally,” Depp alleged.

While Depp said Heard was “quite adamant that I should stop any use of cocaine and recreational drugs,” he said she wasn’t truly supportive of his attempts to get sober.

She alleged that in 2013, Depp dangled Heard’s pet Yorkshire terrier, Pistol, out the window of a moving car and made “howling noises.”.

Depp also denied slapping Heard in March 2013 while trying to set fire a painting by her ex-partner, artist Tasya van Ree. According to Heard, she was hit so hard blood ended up on the wall
