A row over his 'Wino Forever' tattoo

Amber claimed Depp got violent after she questioned him about the 'Wino Forever' tattoo on his arm during a "normal conversation". She alleged: "There was no fighting no argument no nothing. He was drinking. I didn’t realise at the time but I think he was using cocaine. There was a jar of cocaine … a vintage jar of it. "I ask him about the tattoo he has on his arm. To me, it just looks like black marks. I didn’t know what it said. I said, ‘What does it say?' “He said it says ‘wino.’ I didn’t see that. I thought he was joking. I laughed. And he slapped me across the face." (©BANG Showbiz)

'I didn't know what else to do'

The 'Aquaman' star said she "laughed" becaused she "didn't know what else to do" and thought it "must be a joke". She added: "I just stared at him, kinda, laughing still, thinking he was gonna start laughing too. He said ‘You think it’s so funny b****?’ " Amber alleged that he hit her again and she fell. She continued: “It was clear it wasn’t a joke anymore. I stopped laughing. He slapped me for no reason. "Second slap, I know he’s not kidding. I just stared at him. I didn’t move or freak or out defend myself. I just stared at him because I didn’t know what to do. And he slaps me one more time. Hard. I lose my balance.”

He’d lose control of his body, he’d lose control and everyone would clean up after him. "This man lost control of his bowels and I cleaned up after him. His security cleaned up after him, changed his pants in front of me."
