LONDON—Hollywood star Johnny Depp wrote on a wall with blood from his severed finger tip during a long and violent confrontation with his ex-wife, Amber Heard, five years ago, London’s High Court heard on Thursday at his libel case against a British tabloid.

Depp told the court he suffered “some species of nervous breakdown” during a row with actress Heard, but denied he had violently attacked her and accused her of cutting his finger by throwing a bottle at him.
