Amber Heard Cries 'You're Killing Me' Over Johnny Depp Leaving in Recording

In her cross-examination on Tuesday in the defamation trial between her and ex-husband Johnny Depp, actress Amber Heard could be heard in an audio recording played in court crying, "You're killing me" after Depp said he wanted to leave.

The audio played for the jury was recorded in the car outside of Depp's studio, in which the couple can be heard arguing. The audio recording began with Depp saying, "I'm really, really, really sick of this argument," and Heard apologizes after.

"Okay, so let me go and you go and I'll speak to you in a couple hours, okay?" he said. Heard appeared to be saying "stop," and when Depp questioned why she was saying that, Heard said, "Please, it causes me so much stress when you walk away... you don't understand how much worse you're making this."

"I need space. I don't want this conversation anymore right now. I need space and I will take my space whether you like it or not. I will take it," Depp said.

Heard began crying in the audio, saying, "Can we please have a normal argument? Just even a normal conversation, like a normal argument, and for the last hour I've been begging you to please just leave it at that, let's go on with our night. I would have been able to come in with you, we would have been able to let it go in a few minutes."

Tearfully, she continued saying, "It would have been fine if we just let ourselves have f****** normal arguments. Please, you're killing me. You're killing me. You're killing me."

Depp then called his security guard Sean Bett, and said, "I want you to just go. I want you to take your medicine or whatever. I'm sorry that I've upset you."

Heard then said, "Thank you, Shawn. I'm ready to go. Thank you so much. I'm really ready."

A different recording of the pair was played in court as well, in which the two take shallow shots at one another's careers.

Heard appeared to call Depp a "sell-out" and stated, "No one does 21 Jump Street when they're in their twenties." Depp starred in the television series in 1987.

Both actors can be heard laughing, but they continue to jab at one another.

"I mean, hey, at least I didn't do like a teeny show where I was a heartthrob in my twenties," Heard said. "God, that would be, like, embarrassing. If only I was with someone in their fifties I could point that out to."

She can be heard saying, "You're a joke" several times, before Depp says, "Yeah, I'm the joke in the industry, Amber."

Depp sued Heard for $50 million for defamation after she published an op-ed in the Washington Post in 2018 alleging that she was a victim of domestic abuse. Heard counter-sued Depp for $100 million for nuisance.
