Johnny Depp’s Severed Finger: Is It True Amber Heard Cut It Off?

hollywoodlife.com:

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are going back to court for a long-delayed defamation trial, and we’re here to break down the details of their often volatile relationship.

Johnny accused Amber of severing his finger during a passionate fight that turned violent, and, ahead of their trial, we’ll look into what really happened between the former couple. What Happened With Johnny Depp’s Finger?  Back in 2016, a graphic photo emerged of Depp’s severed finger tip following a heated argument with his then-estranged wife.

In the photos, which were obtained by TMZ, a doctor is holding what was claimed to be the actor’s severed finger. Depp had reportedly suffered the injury in 2015 while the pair were staying in Australia while he was filming for Pirates of the Caribbean and initially blamed the incident on himself.

The actor’s bodyguard, Malcom Connolly, told the court during Johnny’s libel trial against The Sun in 2020 that he initially took responsibility for his finger to protect his then-wife, reported The Guardian. “The usual victim pattern is to protect the abuser for some reason, you know the psychological bullying … they fit the same criteria, they never come forward with the information,” the bodyguard said.
