Tara Lee Roberts, who is Johnny Depp's Bahamas property estate manager, has told the court about an incident that happened while Johnny Depp and Amber Heard stayed on the island

Amber Heard told Johnny Depp that he was a 'washed up actor' who will 'die a fat, lonely man', the court has heard on Tuesday.

Johnny, 58, is suing his 35-year-old ex-wife for $50million in a libel trial while Amber is countersuing for $100million for defamation, with the case entering its ninth day in Virginia.

Giving their testimony was Tara Lee Roberts, who is Johnny's Bahamas property estate manager, where he went to detox as prescribed by his private doctor, in 2014.

Ms Roberts has told the court of an incident at that time in which Amber had gone looking for Johnny at his office.

She told the court that Amber said: 'I'm sorry, please come back to the house'.

Ms Roberts said that Johnny then went outside and go into a vehicle but Amber 'stood in front of it' to stop him driving away.

She told the court that Amber eventually got into the vehicle and the couple then drove back to the house.

Ms Roberts said that she followed the vehicle in a John Deere buggy with another member of staff, named CJ.

When they arrived at the house, she said that they could hear Johnny and Amber arguing.

She told the court that Amber said to Johnny: 'You're a washed up actor... You'll die a fat, lonely old man.'

Ms Roberts said that Johnny replied: 'You hit me with a can.'

She said that Amber had a bottle in her hand and that she was 'clawing, grabbing at his clothes... trying to viciously pull him back' and was unaware that she was watching.

Ms Roberts said that Johnny 'didn't react' to Amber and 'stood there with his arms by his side. He didn't do anything.'

She said that her and CJ then separated the couple by Ms Roberts taking Johnny to a cafe while CJ took Amber elsewhere.

Ms Roberts claimed that the Pirates of the Caribbean star had a bruise on the bridge of his nose.

An ice pack was applied to help the swelling to go down and Ms Roberts said that Johnny slept on a sofa at the cafe 'for the rest of the morning'.

The next morning, Ms Roberts said that she didn't see any injuries on Amber and reiterated that Johnny had 'bruising on the bridge of his nose'.
