Johnny Depp’s private security guard, Sean Bett, has shared images of what appears to be injuries to the actors face, at the defamation trial against Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor launched a defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard in 2019, after she described herself as a victim of domestic abuse in a 2018 article she penned for The Washington Post.
In response to this, Heard filed a counterclaim for defamation, with a judge ruling that she could use a defence where her lawyers will argue she is deserving of immunity.
The court was shown two closeup, side-by-side images taken in December 2015 of Depp’s face.
Law and Crime Network alleges that the photographs show ‘black eye/injuries to Depp’s face’.
The two images were shown as Depp’s private security guard, Sean Bett, testified. Bett stated that this wasn’t the only time he saw his employer with injuries to the face and that the celebrity couple could be heard arguing constantly.

Bett explained that one time when Depp had asked him to take Heard to their penthouse to calm herself down, he told Heard privately ‘this can’t continue’.
He continued:
‘you’re either going to kill each other or you’re going to end up in jail’.

When asked if he had seen injuries on Heard while he worked with the pair, he replied no. He did, however, state that he saw injuries on Depp.
