Disturbing footage presented by Amber Heard in court shows Johnny Depp slamming cabinets in a fit of rage during one angry outburst.
"I did assault a couple of cabinets, but I didn't touch Miss Heard," Depp said, referring to the video presented in court, adding that "there'sa possibility" he was drunk at the time.
Depp is suing Heard for US$50 million over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed article in which she wrote about being a victim of domestic abuse. She did not name Depp in the piece, but he claims the allegations are false and cost him lucrative film work in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Heard has countersued for US$100 million, claiming she suffered "rampant physical violence and abuse" at his hands.
The court also heard revelations about allegedly violent incidents and explosive texts sent by Depp, that he had a "sobriety nurse" to keep him on the wagon while filming and that Heard allegedly put out a cigarette on his face.
Court shown photo of Depp passed out with ice cream
Amber Heard snapped the embarrassing shot of Depp when they were in Boston and he was filming the movie "Black Mass".
"Do you recognise this picture as being one of you?" Heard's attorney Ben Rottenborn asked Depp.

"Yes, Ms Heard kindly showed it to me the day after she took it," he replied.
Depp told the juror he had just worked a 17-hour day and had taken Roxycodone.
He said Heard intentionally asked him to hold the ice cream knowing that he was going to fall asleep and drop it.
"That was a wonderful picture to take for her," Depp said sarcastically.

The image shows two glasses of whiskey and four lines of cocaine next to a box with a skull and crossbones and Depp's initials on it.
"You'd sometimes drink whiskey in the morning?" asked Heard's attorney Ben Rottenborn during cross-examination.
"Isn't happy hour any time?" replied Depp, prompting a few awkward laughs in the Virginia courtroom.
Depp initially denied using the pictured box for cocaine. But Rottenborn confronted him with testimony from his 2020 libel trial against "The Sun" newspaper for branding him a wife beater, when he admitted to using the box to carry cocaine.
"I'm a f***ing savage. Gotta' lose that. Gonna' lose that. The devil is all around, right?"
In another, Depp wrote that he "never want(s) to lay eyes on that filthy whore again", while they were still married.
Several big names were pulled into the case, including Elton John and Marilyn Manson, on Thursday (Friday morning NZT).
The court heard that Depp sent the Rocket Man singer a text message in which he described part of himself as a "monster" who "would have swallowed [him up] if it wasn't for you". Depp said Elton was a "friend' who had supported him in his quest for sobriety.
Depp said: 'Elton was a dear friend who has been sober for 40 years, so he was, we've had discussions and he wanted me to get clean, sober so he actually sent a fellow called Charlie Dunnett who worked with Elton for years and years….'
Rottenborn cut in and said: "Can I just confirm you sent that message?"
Rottenborn also put it to Depp that he had done illegal drugs with Marilyn Manson.
Depp testified that the pair had done cocaine together then confessed to drugging him with "a pill" to try to "stop him talking". The star laughed on the stand as he recalled the incident.
