Johnny Depp detailed the deterioration of his relationship with Amber Heard on Wednesday, claiming that he dealt with constant bullying and abuse from his ex-wife.
He went so far as to compare the actress to his mother, whom he described as a total nightmare.
“You start to slowly realize that you are in a relationship with your mother, in a sense. And I know that sounds perverse and obtuse, but the fact is, some people search for weaknesses in people,” the 58-year-old actor said in a Virginia courtroom as part of a $50 million defamation lawsuit he filed against Heard. “It was a sort of rapid-fire, endless parade of insults.”
