In the midst of a $100 million defamation trial against Amber Heard, Johnny Depp’s disgusting text exchange with actor Paul Bettany was read aloud in court.
As Heard’s lawyer Benjamin Rottenborn read out texts Depp made to Bettany on June 11, 2013, he interrogated the Pirates of the Caribbean star.

The message read, “Let’s burn Amber!!!” Rottenborn asked Depp: “You see that?”
Depp responded, “I do see that.”
The lawyer then said, “You didn’t stop. The next text down says ‘Let’s drown her before we burn her!!!’’ I read that right?” Depp responded, “Yes.”
Rottenborn further mentioned, “I’d like to apologize to the court and the jury for some of the language I’m going to use,” before reading the next text Depp sent to Bettany.
“I will (expletive) her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she is dead.” Rottenborn said, “Did I read that right?” Depp said: ‘You certainly did.’
Rottenborn remarked, “You wrote that about the woman who would later become your wife” to which Depp again answered. “Yes.”
During his second day on the stand, Depp admitted to the toxic nature of his relationship with ex-wife Amber Heard.
He began by saying, “It may start with a slap,” according to Rolling Stone. “It might all start with a shove.” It may start with a TV remote being thrown at my head. It may be a glass of wine thrown in my face. But, on the whole, it was consistent.”
The actor also spoke about the “parade of insults” he had to suffer when Heard used his past against him.He testified to the jury, “I was sort of not allowed to be right, not allowed to have a voice.”
