Their divorce was finalised two years later. Heard’s attorney Ben Rottenborn have alleged that Depp would become a physically and sexually abusive “monster” when he was drunk or on drugs, and pressed him extensively about his drug and alcohol use during his three days of cross-examination on the witness stand. “If anyone had a problem with my drinking, at any time in my life, it was me,” Depp said. “The only person I’ve ever abused in my life is myself.” Heard’s lawyer also sought to convince the jury that the accusations against Depp pre-dated the Washington Post column that Heard wrote. Rottenborn noted that Heard had filed a temporary restraining order against Depp in Los Angeles in May 2016, citing abuse, and quoted headlines from a number of newspaper articles. “These are all hit pieces,” Depp replied.
