If I had known then what I knew now, I would have seen the red flag warning signs, but I did not. [Amber Heard] was beautiful, seemingly incredibly interested in me and my work, and I fell for it.

[Amber Heard] bombed me with what appeared to be love. It was not until much later that I understood that she had an agenda, namely to get married to me in order to progress her own career and/or to benefit financially, and she knew how to bring it about.

[Amber Heard] knew what she wanted and I was an easy target.

It was a few months after the start of our relationship that I started to recognize the lies. As early as a couple of months, the slivers of fraudulence, the excuses for things and unexplained absences started.

[Amber Heard] had well and truly researched me and my interests and she would try to pose as some expert or intellectual on these things to try to ingratiate herself with me.

- Johnny Depp

She presented herself as a carbon copy of me, with precisely the same interests, thoughts, favorite writers, taste in music and art as me. Rather than see this as calculated, sociopathic and emotionally dishonest, I convinced myself that it was endearing and sweet.

Fundamentally, the signs that [Amber Heard] began to demonstrate then became the full and developed aspects of her character that I came to know during the incredibly unhappy time when we were together.

[Amber Heard] is a calculating, diagnosed borderline personality; she is sociopathic; she is a narcissist; and she is completely emotionally dishonest.

I am now convinced that [Amber Heard] came into my life to take from me anything worth taking, and then destroy what remained of it.

Indeed, later in our relationship when we sought the help of a marriage counsellor, the marriage counsellor confirmed to me that [Amber Heard] had a borderline, toxic narcissistic personality disorder and is a sociopath.

It was further explained to me that [Amber Heard’s] projection of emotions is extremely exaggerated, she will always overreact and she simply cannot be wrong in any circumstances. She invariably accuses other people of the bad things she herself has done.

From early on in our relationship and throughout the course of it, [Amber Heard] was abusive to me physically and verbally.

- Johnny Depp
#JusticeForJohnnyDepp

The abuse was such a common occurrence that it is difficult for me to specify when and where such abuse took place as it was essentially ongoing.

- Johnny Depp
#JusticeForJohnnyDepp

When being abused by [Amber Heard], my normal reaction was to try not to engage with her and then to remove myself from the situation. Because of that, she would then often call me a "coward" and tell me that I am "not a man."

However, I learned very early on in our relationship that [Amber Heard] was extremely argumentative and would often look to have a fight for no particular reason.

I also learnt that it was pointless to try to engage with [Amber Heard] when she was in such a mood: this would simply aggravate her even more.

It was better to try to wait for her mood to subside and then subsequently seek to try to placate her and to smooth things over

While I may have had disagreements with people in my life, nothing has upset me as much as [Amber Heard's] words and behavior towards me. She really knew how to hurt me and really sought to do that at any opportunity that she could get.

Given my own childhood, I have always been particularly sensitive about my children and their feelings. [Amber Heard] knew this and regularly sought to manipulate me emotionally in this regard.

- Johnny Depp
#JusticeForJohnnyDepp

[Amber Heard] told me on multiple occasions what a "horrible father" I was. I remember her telling me this when my children were just in the room next door. I found it devastating and heart-breaking to hear this and she knew exactly the effect her words would have.
- Johnny Depp

[Amber Heard] continuously belittled me and called me names, including in front of and to other people. On various occasions she would snap at me and call me a "fat old man."
