Johnny Depp’s severed finger:
Amber Heard became upset when Johnny Depp started to drink in Australia while shooting for one of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise movies, according to Depp’s testimony in court. She had hurled a bottle of vodka at him in a fit of rage, slicing the top of his finger. “Blood was pouring out,” he said. “I think I went into some sort of … I don’t know what a nervous breakdown feels like, but that’s probably the closest that I’ve ever been. Nothing made sense”. Depp claimed he hid in a bathroom and was eventually hospitalized, where he told doctors the digit had been caught in large accordion doors.

The house manager’s testimony in court:
On the afternoon of March 8, 2015, Mr. King stated he went to the Gold Coast compound and heard Heard weeping hysterically. After the incident, he recalled exploring the venue and discovering glass shards, blood drippings, a shattered bar top, and a broken Ping-Pong table. “Nothing was really intact,” Mr. King added, saying he also saw a broken vodka bottle.
He also claimed that Depp’s personal doctor, David Kipper, was searching a kitchen bin for Depp’s fingertip. The house manager said he discovered the fingertip “directly below the bar,” where he also spotted a bloodstained paper towel.
He told a Virginia court that there were “puddles of what smelled like alcohol” surrounding the fingertip, which he scooped up with a paper and placed in a plastic bag before handing it to Dr. Kipper and Depp’s security chief, Jerry Judge. “[They] were keen to get it to the hospital quickly to see if it could be reattached,” Mr. King testified.
