JOHNNY Depp told a pal he hoped “karma took the gift of breath away” from ex-wife Amber Heard, a court heard today. The Hollywood star, 56, also claimed actress Amber was “begging for global humiliation” over their acrimonious split, the High Court was told.
The taunts were allegedly in expletive-ridden texts he sent to friend and talent agent Christian Carino, Lady Gaga’s former fiance.
They were read out at a pre-trial hearing ahead of a libel case Depp is taking against The Sun set to start on Monday but adjourned due to the coronavirus.
The texts also appeared to claim Heard, 33, performed a sex act on billionaire Elon Musk in order to get top lawyers. One dated August 15 2016 was read out by Adam Wolanksi, QC for Sun owners News Group.
