On July 8, actor Johnny Depp claimed that he decided to file for divorce after his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard defecated in their shared bed as a "prank." Depp denied the allegations that he hit her and stated that she abused him throughout their marriage.

Sociopath behavior

The 57-year-old Hollywood legend is suing The Sun for releasing an article that painted him as a "wife-beater", he stated that those accusations are sick and untrue. The libel trial against the entertainment site happened at the High Court in London, as reported by the BBC.

However, the most sensational revelation from the actor was that he decided to file for divorce after Heard defecated in their bed.

In a written statement, Depp said that Heard was responsible for the incident, but he claimed that she dismissed the whole thing as just a prank. He said that it was the final straw for him after he endured an abusing and toxic marriage with her for years.

According to Depp, the actress confessed to Kevin Murphy, their estate manager, that defecating in their bed was just a prank. That confession means she had been responsible for the incident, as Heard initially blamed their dogs for the incident.
