Johnny Depp was “obsessively jealous” and would kick, punch and choke ex-wife Amber Heard as well as forcing himself on her sexually, Amber’s psychologist has told the court. Dr Dawn Hughes, a clinical and forensic psychologist and expert in interpersonal violence, abuse, and traumatic stress, testified that Amber was at a “lethal” risk of domestic violence.
Dr Hughes, who was called as the first defence witness in Johnny’s defamation trial against Amber, told the court: “Mr Depp threatened to kill her. The increase in severity of the abuse, the forced sexual activity, the choking behaviour, his obsessive jealousy.
“The control aspect and his threatening suicide, to kill himself.
“This means a woman is at risk for more serious, more lethal domestic violence.”
Dr Hughes testified Amber told her Johnny had thrown her on the bed, forcibly tried to have sex with her, and threatened to kill her.
Johnny denies any allegations of abuse. The trial continues.
