Amber Heard: Johnny Depp threatened to carve up my face

Court hears testimony from actor's ex-wife, who says he was abusive and violent

Johnny Depp threatened to carve and disfigure Amber Heard's face if she left him, repeatedly demeaned her and often physically attacked her, she has told the high court.

Opening the defence case in the libel trial initiated by the Pirates of the Caribbean star, Heard said her former husband insulted her and on one occasion told her: I'm going to have to watch you get raped."
