Johnny Depp lied about losing top of finger to protect Amber Heard, court hears

Johnny Depp court case

Johnny Depp lied about how he lost the top of his middle finger “only to protect” his ex-wife Amber Heard, one of the actor’s security guards told the High Court on the sixth day of his blockbuster libel case against The Sun.

Malcolm Connolly, who has worked for Mr Depp and his family for about 16 years, said the 57-year-old Hollywood star was “in emotional distress and panicking” after his finger was severed during an incident in Australia in March 2015.
