Amber Heard and Johnny Depp had an emotional meeting at a hotel in San Francisco two months after the actress filed for divorce in July 2016.
In new audio played during the trial, Depp can be heard asking his ex-wife to cut him with a knife: “You’ve taken everything, you want my blood, take it.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean star had been tainted by the Aquaman star’s claims that he was physically violent, leaving her with a bruise.
Depp said that he repeatedly told her to cut him as his blood “was the only thing she didn’t have.”
The court also heard an emotional phone conversation between Heard and Depp after their divorce in which the actress challenged him about his allegations that she had beaten him up.
“Tell the world I, Johnny Depp, a man, am a victim of domestic violence and see how many people believe or side with you,” she said.
The court previously heard a recording of the incident in which the actor repeatedly told Heard to cut him, saying : “You f**king hate me.”
When asked by his lawyers about the San Francisco meeting, Depp said it didn’t go particularly well.
“I was quite confused I’d been summoned to her at that point since all the news was about the fact I’d allegedly done all these horrible things,” he said.
“I met with her in the hope she would retract her lies that the world was now fed, had been fed.
“In no way was she ready to do that. I couldn’t understand why I was there.
“Everything had been taken from me. My children couldn’t escape the fact all this had gone down.”
When asked why he was threatening to hurt himself, the actor answered: “I thought Miss Heard had brought me to San Francisco, it was clear, under false pretenses. I don’t know what she was after.
“I had a knife in my pocket. I took the knife out and said here, cut me.”
Speaking about their conversation, Depp said: “That’s what you want to do. You’ve taken everything, you want my blood take, it.
“She said no no. (I said) If you’re not going to take it, that’s all I’ve got left. If she wasn’t going to do it, I would have done it. I was at the end. I was broken.
“The only answer was here, cut me, that’s all I have left to give you. There was no threat to Miss Heard, it was about spilling my blood, it was the only thing she didn’t have.
“I was broken and really at the end.”
