Johnny Depp went on ’24-hour coke & booze binge with Marilyn Manson after dropping his daughter Lily-Rose at school’
JOHNNY Depp went on a 24-hour cocaine and booze 'bender' with rocker Marilyn Manson after dropping his daughter at school, the High Court heard today.
The star's ex-wife Amber Heard messaged his sister Christi Dembrowski in February 2014 saying: "JD is on a bender with Manson" when he stormed out after another bust-up, the court heard.
The Hollywood legend said today he had taken cocaine with Manson 'three times' but denied that drugs were involved in his 2014 visit.
He said he and the famous musician had been taking his daughter Lily-Rose - who was 15 at the time - to school and that it was a 'mystery' how Ms Heard had thought that he was abusing substances.
The Pirates of the Carribean star claimed that his former spouse was 'jealous' and suspected he had been cheating on her when he disappeared after a row.
The claims came on the second day of the hearing at the High Court, where Depp is suing The Sun for calling him a "wife beater" in a 2018 article.
DRUG TAKING
Earlier, the court heard Depp said he would "f**k Amber Heard's burnt corpse" in shocking texts to actor pal Paul Bettany.
The actor, 57, is said to have made a series of sickening outbursts to "drug buddy" Avengers star Bettany as he branded his then-wife a "witch", the High Court heard.
And shocking new pictures revealed a glimpse into Depp's wild lifestyle - including lines of cocaine and pints of whisky for breakfast.
The unseen photos - shown to the High Court today - were taken in 2013.
Heard alslo branded Johnny Depp a "Jekyll and Hyde monster" and "violent little boy", the court heard.
JD is on a bender with Manson. Once again he believes it's about me and us fighting
Text allegedly sent by Heard to Depp's sister in 2014
Sasha Wass QC, representing The Sun, said today the marriage was characterised by a dysfunctional 'pattern' in which Depp would binge and abandon Ms Heard after arguments about drug use.
The lawyer said: "And when this syndrome arose, that is to say arguments about drug taking followed by you going on a binge, when the whole thing was over, when the whole explosion was over you would just disappear and go away from her."
Depp replied: "There was a time when I said I'm going to stay in a hotel room."
"Yes… And she became extremely worried as she didn't know where you were and you were in a state of inebriation or drug consumption and she used to get quite frantic with worry," Ms Wass said.
"She would indeed get quite frantic with worry and she would indeed get jealous that I was out cheating on her," Depp replied.
"Just going back to 2014 you said you'd taken drugs with Marilyn Manson twice, but years before you were with Ms Heard," Ms Wass said.
"Twice or three times maybe", Depp confirmed.
"Doing a line of cocaine with Manson was, I believe it was before Ms Heard and I were fully involved, lets say.
"She's speculating that I'm on a binge with Manson for more than 24 hours.
"Manson and I did in fact take my daughter to school."
But reading from a text allegedly sent by Ms Heard to Depp's sister Christi Dembrowski in February 2014, Ms Wass said: "JD is on a bender with Manson. Once again he believes it's about me and us fighting.
"Once again I don't know what to do. He's gonna hurt himself and take us as a couple down with him.
"I think he's at Marilyn's now continuing the rage and coke booze binge. Can you help… We have no reason to fight. He just aims all his anger at me when he's on it. Don't know what to do."
"Do you believe that you were on a binge [with Manson]?" the QC asked.
"I would say that's what Ms Heard believed. As to how she had exact information about what i was doing with Manson is a mystery to me," Depp replied.
'BINGE' WITH MANSON
Heard's alleged texts went on: "He went to drop Lily-Rose off this morning and hasn't been back since. I called the guards to make sure at least one of them got here and Sean did.
"Not sure who dropped her off but I think it was JD and Manson with security.
Asked whether his sister had expressed anxiety about his drug intake at the time, Depp replied: "My sister Christi has over many, many years since my youth had a number of worries about my consumption growing up and yes, she talked to me many times over the course of my life. We did speak about it.
"She and Ms Heard's ability to speak to one another stopped not long after this."
Ms Heard's sister Whitney allegedly reached out to him later urging him to make amends with her sibling.
Depp allegedly responded: "I'm good just can't deal anymore, she's crossed the line again. Always too much.

"A person needs to think before they go squirrelly. So f***ing sad. I've never done anything but love her."
But even his own daughter Lily-Rose begged him not to give up on his relationship with Ms Heard because she was a 'good influence' on his parenting, the court heard.
