Johnny Depp accused ex Amber Heard of having affairs with stars such as “pumpkin-head” Leonardo DiCaprio and “potato-head” Channing Tatum — nicknames he would use to “taunt” the actress, the court heard Monday.
The “Aquaman” actress, 34, revealed that the “very jealous” actor considered nearly all of her male co-stars a “sexual threat” in a statement filed as part of his explosive libel case in London.
“He accused me of having affairs with each of my co-stars, movie after movie: Eddie Redmayne, James Franco, Jim Sturgess, Kevin Costner, Liam Hemsworth, Billy-Bob Thornton, Channing Tatum; even women co-stars like Kelli Garner,” she said.
She claimed that Depp, 57, also accused her of cheating on him with DiCaprio, whom she had auditioned with for a role.
“He would taunt me about it — especially when he was drunk or high — and had derogatory nicknames for every one of my male co-stars he considered a sexual threat,” she said in the statement.
“For example, Leonardo DiCaprio was ‘pumpkin-head,’ [‘Magic Mike XXL’ co-star] Channing Tatum was ‘potato-head’ and ‘Jim Turd Sturgess.’”
The court previously heard that Depp mocked Heard in text messages to his agent over an alleged affair with someone nicknamed “Mollusk,” believed to be Tesla founder Elon Musk.
