Johnny Depp and Amber Heard news LIVE: Aquaman star denies Elon Musk affair as she claims Depp was 'completely delusional and crazed'

Amber Heard has taken the stand for the second time after telling London’s High Court that Johnny Depp "explicitly threatened to kill" her "many times".

The Aquaman star, 34, is continuing her evidence in her ex-husband’s libel case against The Sun’s editor Dan Wootton and the paper’s publisher News Group Newspapers (NGN).

Today, the 11th day of the blockbuster trial, Ms Heard is being questioned over 14 allegations of domestic violence, which NGN relies on in its defence of an April 2018 article which branded Mr Depp, 57, a “wife beater”.

This morning, the 34-year-old accused the Pirates of the Caribbean star of being "delusional and crazed" and "damaging everything in his pathway" during a fight in May 2016. She also denied rumours of affairs with actor James Franco and billionaire Elon Musk, who offered to arrange "24/7 security" to protect her.

Mr Depp denies the claims and says it was she who was violent towards him. He has accused his ex-wife of “building a dossier” of false allegations as an “insurance policy for later”.
