Ellen Barkin claimed Johnny Depp was "always" drinking and once "threw a wine bottle" at her during their relationship.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor is suing his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation over an article she wrote about being a victim of domestic violence, while she is countersuing him, and in their ongoing legal battle, a pre-recorded deposition from the Animal Kingdom actress - who dated Johnny for "several months" after their platonic friendship turned "sexual" in 1994 - was played to the court on Thursday.
The 68-year-old actress claimed Depp was "drunk a lot of the time" in an "out of control" way and often "tripping" or under the influence of hallucinogenics.
In her testimony, which was recorded in 2019, Ellen also alleged the Black Mass actor had taken substances including cocaine "dozens of times" when she knew him.
