Depp testifies about the ‘grotesque’ moment during his second day on the stand on Wednesday.
Back in April 2016, Depp said he and Heard had an argument during her birthday party.
“I had received some news,” Depp said.

“I was shown a picture of what the problem was.
I had gone to Mr. Bett and said, ‘She’s at Coachella.
And I thought, ‘It’s the perfect time.

She’s not going to be home for two days.’
He continued, “I understood why it wasn’t a good time to go down there.
My initial response to that was, I mean…
It was so outside.
It was so bizarre and so grotesque that I could only laugh.
So I did not go down there that day.”
“I figure she understood as well as I did there was no way back,” Depp continued.
“I also felt she would understand it was the best thing for the both of us.”

It was not the dogs…
I didn’t feel like I deserved that kind of treatment.”
He said at the time, “I thought that was an oddly fitting end to the relationship.”
The actor ultimately lost that lawsuit.
Depp has denied the allegations.
