London - Movie star Johnny Depp concluded five days of testimony in his libel case against Britain's Sun newspaper on Monday, saying his ex-wife Amber Heard had thrown a "haymaker" punch at him on the night he found out he had lost $650 million.
The actor would become, according to Heard, 34, and by his own account, "the monster", the Sun's lawyer Sasha Wass has told the court. At that meeting, he was told his previous managers had lost $650 million he had made from films, a "ludicrous" sum, he said, and that he owed $100 million because he had not paid tax for 17 years.
Appearing in the witness box for a fifth day, Depp was also asked by his lawyer David Sherborne about the transcript of a conversation the couple had in 2016 after Heard had gone public with her accusations. The court has been shown a number of pictures Heard took of herself with injuries she says Depp inflicted. Wass, the Sun's lawyer, said the photos were taken to show the Hollywood star when he had sobered up and in her witness statement Heard had said she "never imagined" they would form part of a court case.
