Actor Johnny Depp has returned to the witness stand to refute ex-wife Amber Heard’s testimony in their defamation battle, saying the abuse claims she levelled against him were “unimaginably brutal, cruel and false”.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 58, sued Heard for $US50 million and argued she defamed him when she called herself “a public figure representing domestic abuse”.

Heard, 36, has countersued for $US100 million, saying Depp smeared her when his lawyer said her accusations were a “hoax”.

On Wednesday, Depp and his lawyers worked to rebut Heard’s testimony he physically and sexually abused her multiple times before and during their marriage, which ended in 2017.

The West Live producer Shannon Beven has the details.
