Amber Heard makes five more bombshell claims during defamation trial against Johnny Depp

Amber Heard took to the stand for a second day in the defamation case against former partner Johnny Depp on May 5.

The actress, aged 36, brought with her a number of explosive claims to the court box on her first day of questioning on May 4 during the $50 million trial, where Depp, 58, is suing his ex-wife for alleged defamation.

The entire case relates to an article written for The Washington Post back in 2018 in which Heard claimed she was a victim of domestic violence, as reported by The Mirror.

The Edward Scissorhands actor denies all of the allegations but he has been countersued by Heard for $100 million.

We take a look at some of the bombshell revelations to come from the stand.

Heard alleges the actor 'sexually assaulted her with bottle'

The 36-year-old recalled a night of alleged rage and violence at a house Depp had rented in Australia while he was filming Pirates of the Caribbean 5, which resulted in Heard saying: "I have never been so scared in my life."

Depp, who has been claimed to have told Heard that "he would carve up my face", screamed repeatedly that he hated her, smashing a phone and tearing off her nightgown before the alleged sexual assault took place on a counter top.

Describing the incident, where she had to pause to hold back the tears, she told the court: "I remember looking at all of the broken bottles, broken glass. I remember not wanting to move because I didn't know if it was broken, I didn't know if the bottle he had inside of me was broken. I didn't feel pain, I didn't feel anything."

Heard later said: "Johnny had the bottle inside of me and was shoving it inside of me over and over again."

Depp allegedly called Heard 'a sl**' and physically assaulted her in front of security on a private plane

Speaking about the early stages of their relationship, Heard spoke about an alleged assault when the former couple travelled between Boston and LA in May 2014 by private plane.

Depp is believed to have made sexual comments about Heard, who was filming The Adderall Diaries with actor James Franco at the time, and that he "started straight up taunting me", calling her "a go-getter" and "a sl*t" in front of security on the flight.

She added how she "struggled to tell you how embarrassed I was" before Depp allegedly sat down and slapped her across the face, with a friend close by.

Heard said of the incident: "It was the first time anything like that happened in front of somebody."

Heard claimed that Depp kicked a swivel chair into her hair before and asked "what are you going to do about it?" It was after this interaction that she said she tried to walk away.

She told the court: "I walk away and feel this boot in my back. He just kicked me in the back. I fell to the floor... I felt I was looking at the floor of the plane for a long time. No one said anything, no one did anything."

Heard claims Depp held his pet dog out of the window of a moving car

Following a night of cocaine and drink bingeing in March 2013, Heard spoke about an incident where Depp held his pet dog Boo out of the window of a moving car the next day.

Heard claimed he had "seemingly calmed down" later that evening and "reluctantly" agreed to go with him to go to a photoshoot before he was "howling out of the window" as they started driving.

She alleges he was smoking marijuana as "he grabs Boo and holds Boo out of the window of the moving car, and he's howling like an animal while holding the dog out the window".

The actress added: "It was just this eerie moment where he was howling and holding this animal out the window… and I have this eerie memory of no one really reacting to him."

Heard describes 'hell' as Depp underwent detox on his private island

The 36-year-old recounted how Depp fought for their relationship after she had sent an email to him, and she got back with him on the condition he would get sober.

As a result, they went to Depp's private island in the Bahamas in 2014 and she described how the first few days were "peaceful" but then his moods would be "up, down" and he would want sex a lot which "is just not like Johnny at all".

Heard then went on to say how he allegedly slapped her. She told court: "I said something to him and he got so angry at me he slapped me across the face, but he did it like crying.

"It was the weirdest thing, he's crying, saying no woman has embarrassed him like that, no woman has ever made him feel like that."

She admitted that she felt out of her depth in helping him with his treatment and "shouldn't have been there". When asked why she went, Heard said: "Because he asked me to, I didn't know that was the most phenomenally dumb idea."

She added: "I had no idea what that was going to look like or be like and it was hell."

Heard claims Depp 'sexually assaulted' her on Christmas break in Bahamas

During another trip to his private island over Christmas in 2015, Depp is alleged to have sexually assaulted while he was asking if she was "f****** tough".

Heard detailed how her then-husband got angry after spilling wine on her several times, which resulted in his son asking if she was okay. It is claimed that Depp grabbed her and said: "If you ever embarrass me again in front of my kids, I'll f****** kill you".

She left to go to the bathroom but he followed her. He is alleged to have put her against the wall and "grabbed me by the vagina" - she explained that she was wearing a swimsuit.

Heard said: "Best I can explain it was he shoved his fingers inside me but through my bathing suit." He then asked her if she "was so f****** tough". She added: "He said 'you're tough like a man'...taunting me, while jerking me around."

The Pineapple Express actress said she ran into the patio before Depp allegedly grabbed her by the hair and hit her face.
