Property Manager Reveals Where He Found Johnny Depp's Severed Finger After Alleged Amber Heard Incident

On Monday, Depp’s property manager Ben King testified about what he says he witnessed the night of the finger severing incident — including where he found Depp’s finger.

“Walking down into the bar, I could see the damage that Dr. Kipper had told me about … lots of broken glass and cans strewn around the bar area,” he added. “Directly at the end of the bar, there was a scrunched up piece of kitchen paper, tissue, with lots of blood around it, on it. I thought that was probably a pretty good place to look. It was within that scrunched up piece of paper on the tiled floor at the end of the bar.”

On the plane, he said he asked her what happened. he claimed. “I said, ‘No, I’m pretty calm.’ She did repeat it and looked incredulous that I hadn’t.”

Johnny Depp has described in graphic detail the infamous incident in which he claimed Amber Heard smashed a vodka bottle over his hand, severing part of his finger.

The alleged incident happened at their Australian home in 2015

He made his way downstairs to the bar area, and poured himself two or three stiff shots of vodka — his first taste of alcohol after several months of sobriety.

“I was a mess, I was a wreck, I was shaking… I just didn’t understand why, why all this was happening,” he said, having taken Heard’s alleged insults to heart.

“And it just went right past my head and smashed behind me.

“And it made contact and shattered everywhere,” he said, tapping his hand.

I felt no pain whatsoever,” he recalled. “What I felt was heat… I felt heat, and as if something were dripping down my hand.”

I was looking directly at my bones sticking out. And the…” — he said, struggling to find the correct description — “meaty portion of the inside of your finger.”

“Blood was just pouring out. And at that point I think that I went into some sort of…

“Nothing made sense. And I knew in my mind and in my heart… this is not life. This is not life. No one should have to go through this.”

Asked what Heard had said after seeing the injury, he said he could not recall exactly, just “white noise… yelling, just a high-pitched, constant attack of insults. Just jumbled words to me in a very high frequency… I was in shock.”

Depp admitted lying to doctors about what happened, telling them he had caught it in accordion doors.

She has countersued Depp for $100 million.
