Heard, incoherent as usual, at first she said he chopped himself the finger with a plastic phone, then he punched the walls..watch this brand new video by Incredibly Average with Depp's depo and much more.
Depp claims during a series of clips that he ‘protected’ Heard in the aftermath of the March 2015 dust-up, pretending he trapped it in a door when the gruesome injury allegedly happened when she hurled a vodka bottle at him.
‘I was trying to get the finger back, you know,’ he says, with a wry smile. ‘And then deal with the insanity of having had my finger chopped off by this woman that I was married to.’
Heard, 33, maintains in court filings that Depp severed the tip of his right middle finger while smashing a phone against a wall during a three-day booze and ecstasy bender, producing texts from Depp to suggest the injury was self-inflicted.
‘I cut the top of my middle finger off… What should I do!?? Except, of course, go to a hospital…. I’m so embarrassed for jumping into anything with her… F**K THE WORLD!!! JD,’ he wrote in one message. (EDIT: The original entire message -with a CONTEXT- explained in the video)
The clip was part of a videotaped deposition for an entirely separate legal case settled last year in which Depp accused a former lawyer, Jake Bloom, of wrongly collecting millions of dollars in fees. ‘Basically I had a pretty nasty injury that I actually had to protect her at the time,’ he says.
‘And so I said that it was caught in the door in these huge accordion doors at this house, that wasn't the case at all.
‘She smashed, she threw a vodka bottle at me and my, my hand was resting on the marble of the bar like that.
‘The first bottle went whoosh just past my ear. And the second one was a larger bottle and she threw it from about this distance and it smashed into the bar, which, this finger who I now call little Richard, was, the tip of the finger was severed and all the bone in here was completely shattered.’
‘I ended up with MRSA twice, so it was very complicated. I was trying to just get the finger back, you know. And then deal with the insanity of having had my finger chopped off by this woman that I was married to.’
Bloom’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, brought the injury up because Bloom’s law firm had prepared the post-nup agreement that Heard was asked to sign the night before the fight.
Depp has claimed in court filings that the Aquaman actress flew into a rage and attacked him after being asked to sign.
Freedman doesn’t bring that up, but he does ask Depp about ‘the story about a bottle and then Amber apparently created some story you punching a wall or something like that?’
‘She says that I did it myself, yeah, By punching a wall,’ Depp scoffs.
‘I tell you, I’d like to see the reactions from scientists, I mean, physicians, who are familiar with this sort of trauma, this sort of thing, because I’d love to see her explain how someone hits a wall and if they put their fist through it, its dry wall or something.’
‘Amber Heard and her media co-conspirators continue to peddle the unsustainable hoax that Johnny Depp cut his own finger off in a series of ever-evolving and more ridiculous scenarios,’ Depp’s attorney Adam Waldman.
‘The evidence unambiguously shows, however, that the morning after Ms Heard was asked to sign a post-nuptial agreement, she severed Mr Depp’s finger with a thrown bottle.’
