H ollywood star Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were locked in a six-hour standoff when he refused to leave the house for a filming shoot while on a 24-hour drink and drugs “bender”, she said this morning.

Depp was due to film a segment of a documentary with Rolling Stone Keith Richards in March 2013 when Heard claims he would not leave the kitchen while high on cocaine and insisting she was having multiple affairs.

Heard texted one of Depp’s entourage at 12.37pm saying she was trying to wake up Depp, but it was not until after 6pm that she messaged: “Success, he’s coming down”.

Asked what had happened, the 34-year-old actress said: “Johnny refused to leave, specifically leave the kitchen where he was snorting lines of cocaine and drinking whisky.

“He was saying he needed to work this out, he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

“He wanted me to admit that I was having an affair with not just Tasya (van Ree), my ex-partner, but also a gentleman I hardly knew.

“He got it into his mind I had all these affairs.”

She told the High Court: “At the time of sending the messages I remember in the afternoon reaching out to my mother and sister and I think my best friend.

“I remember saying words to the effect of ‘I’m on hour 24 of this bender’.”

The court heard Heard accompanied Depp when he eventually attended the shoot, where he was directing a documentary with Richards, but she had left when she later asked the crew member: “Is he alright and still upright?”

She told the court: “I was asking if he was still standing, still alive, and still standing.

“He had done cocaine and drink for well over a day at this point. This is 36 hours or more into it, at the time I was unfamiliar with his patterns.”

The staffer later suggested Depp could stay at another home to “sober up” and give Heard “a peaceful night”.

The court also heard messages between Heard and her mother, when she said: “Heartbroken this is who I love”, and told her: “It’s terrible mum, I don’t know what to do.”

Heard added to the court that Depp could be a “remarkable man” when not drinking or on drugs, saying: “I always held out hope that he would get clean and sober.”

Heard is due to complete her evidence today before her younger sister Whitney Henriquez goes into the witness box.

Ms Henriquez was in the middle of one of the hotly-contested allegations of domestic violence from March 2015, when Heard claims she and her sister were attacked by Depp at their LA penthouse.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 57, insists he was not violent and Heard actually punched him, but his ex-wife has insisted it was an “instinctive” reaction to protect her sister.

“I recall Whitney standing between Johnny and I when he was trying to attack me on the mezzanine level. He pushed Whitney out of the way so he could reach me”, she said.

“She had her back to the stairs and I remember being really scared that she was going to fall down the stairs.

“I lunged at Johnny to stop him from hurting my sister and struck him to protect her. It was an instinctive reaction to protect my sister.”

Heard also claims at that moment she recalled a rumour that Depp had pushed ex-girlfriend Kate Moss down stairs, and that was behind her motivation to lash out.

Depp is suing The Sun’s publisher News Group Newspapers for libel over a 2018 article by executive editor Dan Wootton which labelled him a “wife beater”.

The trial continues.
