When Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp drank booze and took drugs, he would torment his wife, Amber Heard, a court filing alleges.

The female actor who played a lead role in the 2018 fantasy film Aquaman claimed Depp’s addictions would turn him into a “monster” who would repeatedly hit her, rip out her hair, and choke her. She also claimed that her husband almost suffocated her.
