"On my side of the bed was human fecal matter," he recalled. "I laughed. It was so outside, it was so bizarre and so grotesque that I could only laugh."

"I lived with those dogs for many years," Depp said. "That did not come from a dog. It just didn't."

Since Depp took the stand, he has made several accusations toward his ex-wife, including that in 2015, she hurled a vodka bottle at him, which ultimately severed the tip of his finger.

The request sent Heard into rage, and she pelted him with continuous insults, he said. After she relented, he snuck downstairs and broke his sobriety by slamming a few shots of vodka. The actress caught him and went berserk, chucking the massive bottle at him. It shattered on his hand, which was resting on the side of the bar, he alleged.

Heard's lower lip trembled and she looked as though she was on the verge of tears during her ex-husband's testimony.
