During the trial, Johny Depp recalled the events of his finger injury in 2015. 

According to Depp, during one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, Heard became enraged after he started drinking in Australia. He added that his ex-wife had thrown a bottle of vodka at him, severing the tip of his finger.

He also recalled writing on the walls and mirrors in his own blood while hiding in the bathroom. As soon as Depp was taken to a hospital, he initially claimed that his finger was caught in an accordion door but later retracted that version of events.

Depp’s former house manager, Ben King, previously mentioned that he was “tasked” to look out for the fingertip when he arrived at the damaged home in the hours after the incident. 

On the other hand, Heard previously claimed the injury had occurred after Depp smashed a phone against a wall.
