He testified that when he got on the plane he was "not feeling any pain" while taking opiates at the time, denying that he was drunk. She would verbally heckle, hassle, accuse, poke, prod physically, psychologically and emotionally," he said, until he went to "hide" in the plane bathroom where he locked himself inside and fell asleep. Heard and Depp met while making the 2011 film The Rum Diary, and later wed in 2015. When she tried to walk away and change seats again, she testified that she felt his boot on her back as he kicked her, causing her to fall to the floor. Depp denied the claims, and the former couple settled their divorce out of court in August 2016. Heard got up "so slowly" to remove herself from the conversation and not "aggravate" him further, she testified, and he began throwing objects at her, like ice cubes and utensils. Depp — who has said multiple times under oath that he has never struck Heard or any woman — addressed the alleged 2014 Boston-to-L.A. flight incident during his testimony earlier in the trial. Heard said Depp slapped her on the face when she stopped replying to him. "He had already been upset with me and accused me in many arguments about not telling him about scenes that I had, if I had a kissing scene," Heard said. Depp was "saying really disgusting things about my body," she added, "about how I liked it, how I responded. Heard recalled being "nervous" to see Depp next, as she planned to fly to Boston to go with him to Los Angeles for his daughter Lily-Rose's birthday. When Depp got on the private plane, "I just knew in every cell of my body something was wrong."

Amber Heard says Johnny Depp kicked her over James Franco (1 News)

According to Heard, Depp was jealous and irate that she was making a movie with actor James Franco that included a kissing scene.

Depp has denied ever hitting her, but Heard's lawyers have said his denials lack credibility in part because he can't remember what he's done when he blacks out.

He denied that he'd drank excessively before getting on the plane, and said Heard initiated an argument and pursued him until he felt compelled to hide in a bathroom. Heard told jurors about photos she took of Depp starting in 2013 in which he was passed out. And no one said anything. She got up and walked away, but Depp followed her.
