Johnny Depp sent a message to his actor friend Paul Bettany allegedly admitting to consuming "powders, half a bottle of whiskey, a thousand red bull" before boarding a 2014 flight from Boston to Los Angeles with Amber Heard.
In the text exchange shown to jurors, Depp said he was going to "properly stop the booz thing, darling" as he referenced a fight he'd gotten into with Heard on the plane.
“Drank all night before I picked Amber up to fly to LA this past Sunday … Ugly, mate … No food for days … Powders … Half a bottle of Whiskey, a thousand red bull and vodkas, pills, 2 bottles of Champers on plane," Depp wrote in the text.
Depp added: "I'm done. I am admittedly too f--ked in the head to spray my rage at the one I love… I'm too old to be that guy. But, pills are fine!!!
When asked about the mid-flight fight with Heard, Depp confirmed that he believed his then-partner was having an affair with James Franco.
After the flight, Depp allegedly sent Heard a text saying: "Once again, I find myself in a place of shame and regret. Of course, I am sorry. I really don't know why, or what happened. But I will never do it again. I want to get better for you. And for me. I must. My illness somehow crept up and grabbed me."
