"Ms. Heard was arrested in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 2009 after police officers observed her committing domestic violence against her then-wife Tasya Van Ree," wrote Depp in court papers.
"Ms Heard's wife asked police to arrest Ms. Heard. The King County prosecutor declined to charge Ms. Heard only because neither she nor her victim were residents of King County, Washington, but not before Ms. Heard spent a night in jail and appeared before a judge in court.
Depp then alleged: "Ms Heard lied about this domestic violence incident under oath, saying 'It was a trumped up charge and it was dropped immediately for being such.'"
In his declaration, Depp also said that his ex falsely claimed the arresting officer was "homophobic", when in fact she "was a female, self-described lesbian activist who has publicly disputed Ms Heard's claims about the circumstances of her arrest."
Depp then stated that he had spoken to others who were involved in relationships with Heard.
"Several women who have been in a relationship with Ms. Heard have come forward to share their personal experiences of brutal violence and other abuse at the hands of Ms Heard," Depp reportedly wrote.
"My advisers have and continue to interview these victims, who remain deeply fearful of Ms. Heard, and to collect evidence from these victims."
Depp also blamed Heard's alleged behaviour on alcohol and prescription drugs.
"While mixing prescription amphetamines and non-prescription drugs with alcohol, Ms. Heard committed innumerable acts of domestic violence against me, often in the presence of third party witnesses, which in some instances caused me serious bodily injury," said Depp.
"Multiple of these commissions of violence against me she has even admitted to under oath."
Depp also outlined a final text sent by Heard in which she said the two still had "love" for each other.
Of the split, she said she and Depp could, "Do this or undue [sic] this as we see fit. You and I have the control. And love each other.
"When I did not accede to her demand for money, Ms. Heard publicly accused me of domestic violence, seeking and receiving a temporary restraining order against me when appearing in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, May 27, 2016 with a first-ever-seen prominent bruise and cut on her face that she claimed resulted from being hit in the face by a phone thrown by me and further facial battering from 'some appendage' of mine on the evening of May 21, 2016," Depp reportedly wrote in his declaration.
"Again, this domestic violence allegation was untrue, and Ms. Heard's purported injury was staged."
