Johnny Depp testified in British court Tuesday that then-wife Amber Heard may have once pooped in their bed as a “prank,” a report said.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor said during testimony in the first day of his libel case that the actress or “possibly one of her friends” put the feces there — and that Heard later claimed it was “just a harmless prank,” according to the Daily Mail.
He said that’s when he decided to divorce Heard, whom he has been locked in a vicious public battle with for several years, even after their split in 2017.
Depp is testifying as part of a libel suit he filed against Britain’s The Sun over a 2018 article in which the paper called him a “wife-beater.”
The actor told the court that he has gotten violent and “taken every drug known to man” — but insisted he has never hit a woman, adding that she’s the one who got physical with him.
Depp’s camp first made the bedroom feces allegation against Heard in 2018, when the UK’s Mirror reported that the incident occurred in June 2016 in the pair’s Los Angeles penthouse.
The actor and his wife had a blow-up the night before, and Depp stormed out of the pad, where the housekeeper found the feces the next day, the paper said.
A Depp source told the Mirror at the time that there was “strong, photographic evidence that connected Amber to the feces” and that it was a “prank.”
A Heard rep scoffed at the notion, blaming the poo on her pooch Boo.
The dog has “serious bowel-control issues,” the rep said. “There was never a joke, it wasn’t something done to be disrespectful.
“It was an innocent thing, it’s what pets will do.”
