Depp has denied each of the claims against him - claiming that Heard was "building a dossier" to support "hoax" allegations.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star is now suing The Sun's publisher News Group Newspapers (NGN), and its executive editor Dan Wootton, over an April 2018 article which labelled him a "wife beater".

The High Court this week heard evidence over the 14 alleged incidents from Depp himself, with the trial expected to last another two weeks.

Early 2013

Heard has claimed Depp hit her for the first time when they were in LA after she laughed at his tattoo.

The actress claimed her then husband slapped her three times after she laughed at his inking, which originally read "Winona Forever" in tribute to Winona Ryder but was then changed to "Wino Forever" after they split.

He apparently apologised and blamed "the monster".

However Depp denied hitting her, saying she had seen the tattoo "countless" times before the alleged incident happened.

Mr Depp said he drank and took magic mushrooms, as did Ms Heard and her friends who also took MDMA.
