 Aquaman actor Amber Heard choked back tears as she testified that ex-husband Johnny Depp physically abused her, starting with slaps after she left at one of his tattoos and escalated into a cavity search of her body for cocaine that Heard took the witness done for the first time in a widely followed U.S. defamation case brought by Depp, saying the actors had a magical relationship until it turned violent. Depp's false physical outburst, Heard said, came after she asked what was written on one of his faded tattoos. She said he replied, why no, and she laughed thinking it was a joke. I felt like this man knew me and saw me in a way that no one else had. I felt he understood me, I felt he understood where I came from, I felt like I felt that like when I was around Johnny, I felt like the most beautiful person in the world. You know, it made me feel seen, made me feel like a million dollars. I didn't know what else to do, I didn't know what to say, I didn't know how to react. I just sat there thinking, how much time do I have to, I figure out what I need to do because God, did He just say to me, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I didn't want to leave him, I didn't want this to be the reality, I didn't want to have the man I was in love with. I know you don't come back from that, you know, I'm not dumb, I know you can't hit a woman, I mean you can't hit a man, you can't hit anyone, you can't just hit somebody because they, I knew there was no, I knew it was wrong and I knew that I had to leave him and that's what broke my heart because I didn't want to leave him. I thought if I got up out of that room, I'd leave the best thing that ever happened to me.
