'I felt so embarrassed': Amber Heard claims Johnny Depp abused ... (USA TODAY)

Amber Heard entered day two of testimony against Johnny Depp in the libel lawsuit. She claimed he abused her as a result of jealousy.

Depp argued that he would remove himself from the room during fights with Heard to avoid escalation. But jurors heard a recording Heard made toward the end of the incident, in which it sounds like Depp is howling and babbling incoherently. "I felt so embarrassed that he could kick me to the ground in front of people." He denied that he'd drank excessively before getting on the plane, and said Heard initiated an argument and pursued him until he felt compelled to hide in a bathroom. Heard said Depp got even more aggressive when she began filming "The Adderall Diaries" with James Franco in 2014. She later claimed Depp had a range of extreme moods throughout their stay including "bursts into anger." The two would reunite in person on a private plane to go to a birthday party for Lily-Rose. "I was so in love ... I can’t describe that kind of joy." "I had just met them and I didn’t want them to think poorly of me and hate me not knowing what was going on behind doors." "I was unsure what that feeling was but I suspected I had a broken nose. "Johnny screamed at me in the hotel room and all I could think about was the kids were in an adjoining room. Depp's children, Lily-Rose Depp and Jack, were also with the couple.

Johnny Depp once grew so angry over Amber Heard's working relationship with James Franco that he kicked her in the back, she testified in the ongoing trial.

“I said something to him and he got so angry at me, he slapped me across the face,” Heard testified. “At some point, he just whacked me in the face,” Heard said of the alleged incident. “By this point in our relationship, we were both saying awful things to each other. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star had denied drinking before getting on the plane, and claimed Heard had started an argument, pursuing him until he ultimately felt forced to hide in a bathroom. … Did I have a sex scene?” We get back to the hotel room, he shoves me and grabs my collarbone.

Heard said on the stand that Johnny Depp reeked of "weed and alcohol" during the incident. "His breath smelled so bad," she said of Depp.

Heard testified that she told Depp about one of her intimate scenes with Franco on the phone prior to boarding a flight with Depp for his daughter's birthday. Heard added that as soon as Depp boarded the plane, she knew "something was wrong." Heard said she proceeded to move once more when Depp kicked her. In return, she testified, Depp began to throw things at her, later walking up to her and slapping her in the face. When asked by her lawyer whether she had any arguments with Depp about Franco, Heard paused for a long moment, sighed, and described the period of time as a "nightmare." "He hated, hated James Franco and was already accusing me of having a secret thing with him in my past because we had done 'Pineapple Express' together."

He testified that when he got on the plane he was "not feeling any pain" while taking opiates at the time, denying that he was drunk. She would verbally heckle, hassle, accuse, poke, prod physically, psychologically and emotionally," he said, until he went to "hide" in the plane bathroom where he locked himself inside and fell asleep. Heard and Depp met while making the 2011 film The Rum Diary, and later wed in 2015. When she tried to walk away and change seats again, she testified that she felt his boot on her back as he kicked her, causing her to fall to the floor. Depp denied the claims, and the former couple settled their divorce out of court in August 2016. Heard got up "so slowly" to remove herself from the conversation and not "aggravate" him further, she testified, and he began throwing objects at her, like ice cubes and utensils. Depp — who has said multiple times under oath that he has never struck Heard or any woman — addressed the alleged 2014 Boston-to-L.A. flight incident during his testimony earlier in the trial. Heard said Depp slapped her on the face when she stopped replying to him. "He had already been upset with me and accused me in many arguments about not telling him about scenes that I had, if I had a kissing scene," Heard said. Depp was "saying really disgusting things about my body," she added, "about how I liked it, how I responded. Heard recalled being "nervous" to see Depp next, as she planned to fly to Boston to go with him to Los Angeles for his daughter Lily-Rose's birthday. When Depp got on the private plane, "I just knew in every cell of my body something was wrong."

Amber Heard says Johnny Depp kicked her over James Franco (1 News)

According to Heard, Depp was jealous and irate that she was making a movie with actor James Franco that included a kissing scene.

Depp has denied ever hitting her, but Heard's lawyers have said his denials lack credibility in part because he can't remember what he's done when he blacks out. But jurors heard a recording Heard made toward the end of the incident, in which it sounds like Depp is howling and babbling incoherently. He denied that he'd drank excessively before getting on the plane, and said Heard initiated an argument and pursued him until he felt compelled to hide in a bathroom. Heard told jurors about photos she took of Depp starting in 2013 in which he was passed out. And no one said anything. She got up and walked away, but Depp followed her.
