Johnny Depp Tragic Past Explored: Actor Suffered Mother’s Abuse for Years
Johnny Depp reportedly does not have a history of being abusive not until Amber Heard made the claims, but he did have a tragic experience of being abused by his own mother.
The Fairfax County Circuit Court continues to hear more bombshell revelations between Depp and Heard's camps. The "Aquaman" star lawyers particularly tells the court about the alleged violence of Depp, but the actor's sister made a counterattack by recalling the abuse her sibling went through since he was a child.
The heated discussions inside the court turned emotional when Depp's sister, Christi Dembrowski, shared what her brother went through because of their abusive mother. At one point, he revealed that Depp suffered from mental and emotional abuse when their mother kept on calling him "one-eye."
Johnny Depp Is a Victim of Abuse
According to Dembrowski (as quoted by The Independent), the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star used to wear an eyepatch to correct his lazy eye when he was a child. Depp's lawyer, Benjamin Chew, asked her if the actor respond in any way since, if he did, it might be proof that he adopted the behavior.
However, Depp just took every abuse and "got used to it."
Their mother reportedly treated Dembrowski and the actor the way she treated their dad, detailing that the matriarch "yelled, hit, threw things" and called them names.
When asked how Depp reacted when their mother hit him, she said, "He was a typical little boy, when hurt he would cry. For the most part, he just wanted to get away from it. "When he was older, even if she hit or threw things, he never went to that place. He would get away, he would leave the area, go to his room."

Dembrowski, who once became Depp's personal manager, reportedly booked a separate room for the ex-couple in case an argument happened. She revealed that, at that time, she witnessed a repeat happening in Depp again.
When they were still kids, they used to hide and get away from the arguments and fighting. So when she felt that a similar event started happening in the actor's life, she tried to help him by having an available room where he could "hide."
She then compared Heard's marriage to Depp's previous 14-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis, saying that no "domestic violence" ever happened.
In response to her statement, Heard's legal team questioned her and suggested that she is just protecting Depp for financial incentive.
