Johnny Depp claims Amber Heard put out a cigarette on his face early in their marriage
by CYDNEY HENDERSON | USA TODAY
Johnny Depp is detailing new allegations against ex-wife Amber Heard.
The 56-year-old actor claims Heard put a cigarette out on his right cheek and threw a bottle at him during a fight in Australia one month after their wedding in March 2015.
"On March 8, 2015, after learning of the existence of a post-nuptial agreement, Amber Heard committed one of her countless violent attacks against Johnny Depp," his lawyer, Adam Waldman, said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY on Friday.
Waldman said Heard threw a "bottle that severed the last third of (Depp's) finger" and burned "his face with a cigarette," requiring the actor to be hospitalized.
Depp's latest allegation was made in an amended response to a libel lawsuit against News Group Newspapers Limited over a 2018 article by "The Sun" that called him a "wife-beater."
However, Waldman said Depp was the victim of Heard's "abuse hoaxes" and "serial vicious acts," adding that Depp has dozens of witness to corroborate his claims.
"Ms. Heard, who has a prior arrest and incarceration for violent domestic abuse, has one witness to her now-obliterated fraudulent claims – herself," Waldman said.
