The Pirates Of The Caribbean star, 58, is suing Heard, 35, over a 2018 Washington Post article in which she described herself as a “victim of sexual violence”.

He says her allegedly fake claims of abuse ruined his career and was designed to boost hers.

Ms Dembrowski, who had been Depp’s manager, said Dr David Klipper described him as “pessimistic he would ever be able to stop doing drugs”.

Depp’s best pal, Isaac Baruch, broke down in tears after he was asked if he is angry with Heard.

He said: “What I am is tired and I want this all to end.

'Her to go heal, him to go heal.”

He was also asked if he recalled a Depp text to him hoping “that Amber’s rotting corpse is decomposing in the f****** trunk of a Honda Civic?”

Baruch said: “Yeah . . . it was written.”

Depp is suing Heard for £38million and she has countersued him for £76million over claims his lawyer made about her.

Trial continues.
