Johnny Depp bangs kitchen cabinets, fumes at Amber Heard; 2016 video shown during trial

One of the early incidents that showed the rift between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was a video in 2016, courtesy TMZ, where the former could be seen banging the kitchen cabinets and verbally abusing the latter. Years after it went viral, the video once again made headlines as it was presented before the jury currently hearing the libel suit involving the couple. Depp sued Heard for her 2018 Washington Post op-ed where she identified herself as an abuse victim, while the latter countersued her ex-husband.

The duo has made allegations of assault against each other, through their attorneys, during the libel trial. Amid the shocking allegations, it has now emerged that the aforementioned video too was shown in court and Depp was asked about it.

Depp can be heard saying, "You wanna see crazy? I'll give you crazy. "

The Pirates of the Caribbean star then comes near her and pours a glass of wine. He then spots the camera that filmed him, and after which there was some commotion as he seemed to have taken the device in his hand. 

Depp was questioned about the video and admitted to slamming the cabinets. However, he denied that he assaulted his ex-wife during the scuffle.
