Amber Heard said Johnny Depp "introduced" his daughter to weed when she was just 14 years old, and later bailed on her birthday because he was too sick from a bender.

Heard made the comments about Depp's parenting of his now-22-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, during testimony in court on Thursday. Depp has taken Heard to trial on claims she defamed him with false allegations of domestic violence. Heard says the allegations were very much real, and she's spent a good deal of her two days on the stand so far spelling out multiple incidents where she said Depp got physically violent with her.

The actress said she and Depp got into an argument in November 2013 when she took issue with Depp letting an older famous musician who Lily-Rose, then 14, had a crush on, stay the night at their house. Heard said she also took issue with "the introduction of the weed with his daughter" when she was "so young."

Heard said she realized it wasn't her place to make parental decisions about Depp's kids, but she "just felt protective."

"I made him really angry by weighing in on that," she said.

Heard also spoke about taking Lily-Rose out for dinner on her 15th birthday, after witnessing a Depp go on a bender.

She and Depp were filming different movies on the East Coast in May 2014, when they decided to fly back to Los Angeles for Lily-Rose's birthday.

At the time, Heard was shooting "The Adderall Diaries," a movie with James Franco, in New York. Depp had despised Franco, Heard said, having falsely accused her of having a relationship with him.

"He hated, hated James Franco and was already accusing me of having a secret thing with him in my past," Heard said. "Because we did 'Pineapple Express' together."

Heard said she practically placated Depp by promising not to wear makeup for her role. But "The Adderall Diaries" involved a scene where Heard's and Franco's characters kissed, which Heard said infuriated Depp.

She said that, as the two flew back to Los Angeles together on a private plane after filming the movie, Depp fumed. He appeared to be intoxicated and made crude remarks about her body, she said. Depp's harassment, according to Heard, escalated to a point where he slapped her in front of everyone else on the plane and kicked her to the ground.

Heard said she checked herself into a hotel room upon landing in Los Angeles because she was too afraid to be alone with Depp.

Later, she took Lily-Rose to dinner at a Benihana without Depp.

"Johnny was sick after having passed out on the plane, so I took her to dinner, we went to Benihana," Heard said. "I put on my smile, took her out, tried to make her feel loved and celebrated for her birthday."

Depp addressed the plane incident in previous testimony, claiming that he only drank a glass of champagne upon boarding the flight and passed out thanks to some medication he was taking at the time.

He also sought to preemptively downplay the closeness between his former wife and daughter by saying that Lily-Rose skipped his 2015 wedding to Heard because she wasn't on good terms with Heard.

On Heard's first day on the stand, on Wednesday, she also detailed an incident where she said she comforted Lily-Rose after Depp became inebriated in front of his kids on a family vacation.

Heard said Depp shoved her into a wall on his private yacht over the incident, accusing her of revealing to his kids that he was off the wagon again.

Representatives for Lily-Rose Depp did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
