Dressed in a navy blue blazer and a blue dress, the actress spoke on Wednesday to shed light on the preconditions for the couple’s short-lived marriage. In the early years, Hurd said, “there was electricity” during their time together.
Depp, 58, is suing his 36-year-old ex-wife after she wrote a 2018 article claiming she survived domestic violence. Although he did not name it, Depp said the Washington Post article had irreparably damaged his career and led to a number of canceled film projects, including a sixth pirate film.
The two met in 2009 while filming The Rum Diary in Puerto Rico. Hurd said that while their early interactions were flirtatious, each of them was in a relationship.
“I remember being scared,” she said of her time with him on the set. After the shooting ended, Hurd said “she hadn’t heard from him in a long time.”

Depp tried to court her afterwards, sending lavish gifts to her home.
“He sent me a beautiful dress, the kind I wore in the movie… he sent me some beautiful, expensive ones, what I can only assume are expensive, collectibles, books and guitars.”
The two reconnected in the fall of 2011, when it was time to promote the film on a press tour that lasted more than a month and took place in various cities around the world.

“We had an ordinary day for the press (in Los Angeles) and at the end I was invited to Johnny’s room for a drink with him and the film’s director,” she told her lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft. “As soon as I got there, Johnny said Bruce (Robinson) would not succeed. He asked about my relationship … he broke up with the mother of his children. Then we drank red wine and kept talking and talking became us (bandage). We sat on the couch and talked. There was a feeling that there was electricity in the room. It was instant again. “

When she left, Hurd added, Depp kissed her, “and I gave him back the kiss.”
For the next month, Hurd said the two fell in love.
“It was a beautiful and strange time,” she said. “We went from one city to another and fell in love with her.”

After Depp spent the night in his hotel room during a stop, “by the end of the press tour, she was on. I will say so. “
Hurd said that as their relationship progressed, they could not get enough of each other.
“It’s always been intense,” she said. “When I was with him, I felt electricity in my body, butterflies, I could not see right. At that time, it seemed to me that there was no such love… I fell in love with this man. ”
But when they built a relationship, cracks began to emerge.

Hurd says Depp would overdo it. Soon after, they started arguing and he started verbally insulting her outfits.
“When he first started drinking, I didn’t think about it,” she said. “I tried not to talk about auditions. He would make these comments about “fornicating” – it was really dirty to be an actor, no matter what he was. “
The actress from Aquaman told a moment when she tried to show a dress that was worn at an event on the red carpet, hoping for a compliment.
“I wanted him to say something.” When I mentioned the dress and the event, he said, “The whole world saw this, kid.” My dress had a low neckline, I understand, but I felt awkward and awful wearing it.

Hurd then began to paint a pattern of behavior in which Depp was prone to outbursts that revolved between violence and delicacy.

“He threw a glass at me,” Hurd recalled. “He didn’t hit me, but he crashed behind me. I remember thinking, “He could have hit me easily.” He was throwing glass or hitting the wall. Then he disappeared, sobered up and said he was done… He would go back to this incredibly nice, sensitive, interesting, funny person. ”
Bredehoft then asked Hurd for the first time she had been physically hit by him.
“It’s so insignificant. I will never forget it. It changed my life, “she said quietly. “We were sitting on the couch, having a normal conversation and he was drinking, and I didn’t realize then that he was using cocaine – he was drinking, we were talking and he was smoking cigarettes. I asked him about the tattoo on his arm. I didn’t know what it said. He looked confused. I asked what it said, and he said, “Wine.” I laughed because I thought he was joking and he hit me in the face.

“I laughed because I didn’t know what else to do. I just stared at him, laughing motionless, and he said, “You think you’re a funny bitch,” and he slapped me again. I stopped laughing because I didn’t know what else to do. “
She continued: “I have never been hit like that. I was just watching him. I didn’t say or react to anything … I just watched it. He hit me one more time, hard. I lost my balance and suddenly realized that the worst thing that could happen to me… He just hit me. ”
At that moment, Hurd admitted that he knew she “had to leave him” and cried because he admitted that she had not done so.
“I wish I could say that I came out of this house and drew a line for myself.” I just looked at the dirty carpet, trying to get up. I got up and looked him in the eye and before I knew it he was crying. I’ve never seen an old man cry – it’s weird. He said, “I’ll never do that again. I thought I picked up the monster. He looked so sorry. “

She said Depp looked remorseful. “I’d rather cut off my hand than put it on you,” she recalls, he said. “He spoke in this way, almost like poetry.” I wanted to believe him, so I chose. I believed that there was a limit that would not be crossed again, and that was it.

He bought her a few cans of Vega Sicilia wine as a way to try to fix it. But Hurd said she quickly started drinking again, accusing her of having affairs with old partners and colleagues.
“Shouting at me was the worst,” she said.
As the relationship continued, confrontations between the couple continued to escalate, with Hurd claiming several instances of horrific behavior, including a moment when he twisted her friend’s arm and hung one of their dogs from a moving car.

“He grabbed his Yorkie glass and pulled Boo out of a moving car,” she said. He howled as he held the Yorkie out the window. I didn’t want to do anything to make him react and let the dog go. “
In another case, Hurd described in detail Depp’s “cavity search” when he searched for drugs, details her psychologist shared at the booth earlier this week. He also allegedly punched her and threatened to kill her.
But she continued to stay in the relationship, falling apart as she called Depp “the love of my life” and “my soulmate.”
“But this other thing will come out and take over,” she said. “No one was honest with him. He would faint in his own vomit… he walked around saying there was no problem… and I wanted him to be fine… I looked at this man twice my age and saw hope.

Several key witnesses supported his claim, including Malcolm Connelly, one of Depp’s bodyguards, who described cases in which Hurd scolded him, calling him an “autumn coward.” He also said that he noticed …
