During the proceedings, disturbing text messages between Depp and his friend, Paul Bettany, emerged, exposing dark intentions towards Heard. In 2013, Depp texted Bettany, using chilling words like “burn” and “drown” in reference to Heard. He even mentioned wanting to have sex with her “burnt corpse.” The court heard that Depp confirmed the authenticity of these messages.
Throughout the trial, Heard’s legal team portrayed Depp as a man struggling with substance abuse, referencing his heavy use of drugs and alcohol. The actor admitted to relying on these substances as a coping mechanism, referring to them as “a numbing agent” in his life.
Despite facing allegations of abuse, Depp maintained his denial, accusing Heard of violence as well. The trial also saw allegations of sexual assault against Depp, with Heard’s legal team accusing him of penetrating her with an alcohol bottle during a violent episode in Australia in 2016. Depp’s spokesperson denied these allegations, branding them as fabricated.

The legal battle did not mark Depp’s first encounter with the courts concerning his reputation. In a previous case against UK-based News Group Newspapers and The Sun’s executive editor, Dan Wootton, Depp lost a libel lawsuit in 2020. The court ruled that the tabloid’s characterization of him as a “wife-beater” was substantially true.
The Depp V Heard documentary promises to delve into the depths of the turbulent relationship between the former couple, examining how it evolved over time.
The trial ended in 2022, with Depp suing Heard for $50 million in defamation, while Heard filed a counterclaim for $100 million in damages. The jury faced the challenging task of navigating through conflicting narratives to arrive at a verdict.
As the Netflix series prepares to reveal the courtroom drama and the intimate details of Depp and Heard’s tumultuous relationship, global audiences eagerly anticipate the revelations that will shed light on one of Hollywood’s most sensational legal battles.
