Johnny Depp calls Amber Heard's testimony about sexual abuse 'outlandish' and says he's been carrying the 'truth' with him for 6 years

• Johnny Depp called Amber Heard's testimony about sexual abuse "outlandish."
• Depp also said he's been carrying the "truth" with him for six years.

Johnny Depp called Amber Heard's testimony "outlandish" on Wednesday as he made his second appearance on the witness stand in his weeks-long defamation trial against his ex-wife.

"All these outlandish, outrageous stories of me committing these things and living with it for six years and waiting to be able to bring the truth out," Depp said in Fairfax County, Virginia, court.

Depp testified that it was "insane to hear heinous accusations of violence, sexual violence that she's attributed to me."

"I don't think anyone enjoys having to split themselves open and tell the truth, but there are times when one just simply has to because it's gotten out of control," Depp continued.

He described the experience as "horrible, ridiculous, humiliating, ludicrous, painful, savage. Unimaginably brutal, cruel." He then added that Heard's testimony is "all false. Awful."

"No human being is perfect, certainly none of us," Depp said. "But I have never in my life committed sexual battery, physical abuse."

He testified that the trial "is not easy."

"I did get here, and I did tell the truth, and I have spoken up for what I've been carrying on my back reluctantly for six years," he said.

Depp is suing Heard and alleges that she defamed him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed article where she described herself as a victim of domestic violence. Heard has countersued, alleging that Depp assaulted her before and during their marriage.

The trial has garnered high interest across the internet and has even called other celebrities to the witness stand.

Closing arguments in the trial are scheduled to start on Friday.
