Amber Heard, who recently testified at the defamation suit filed by ex-husband Johnny Depp, has termed the multi-million dollar case as ‘torture’ and said that she just wants him to leave her alone so she can move on with her life.
The 36-year-old actress also told the jury hearing the case that she filed for divorce from the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star in May 2016 because she feared for her life.
“I had to leave him,” Heard said. “I knew I wouldn’t survive if I didn’t. I was so scared that it was going to end really badly for me.” Heard said Depp would become a physically and sexually abusive ‘monster’ when he was drinking and her efforts to curtail his drug and alcohol use had failed.

Depp filed suit against Heard over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in December 2018 in which she described herself as a ‘public figure representing domestic abuse’.
Heard did not name Depp in the op-ed, but he sued her for implying he was a domestic abuser and is seeking $50 million in damages.
