According to one of Johnny Depp’s security guards, who was testifying in court this week, Amber Heard admitted she was responsible for the much-talked about poop that was left in the couple’s marital bed after a blowout fight between the couple on April 21, 2016 .

Starling Jenkins, a member of Depp’s security team, said he discussed the incident with Heard as he drove her to Coachella after the pair had an explosive exchange following the actress’ 30th birthday party.

“We had a conversation pertaining to the surprise she left in the boss’s bed prior to leaving the apartment,” Jenkins said.

When Jenkins clarified that the “surprise” he spoke of was in fact fecal matter in the couple’s bed, he said that Heard described the poop as “a horrible practical joke gone wrong.”

Depp alleged that Heard or one of her pals “dropped a grumpy” in their bed after an argument erupted over his tardiness for her 30th birthday party. The actor claims he left her condo in downtown Los Angeles for another home in the Hollywood Hills after she became angry with him.

The next day, Depp was shown a pic sent by his housekeeper. “It was a photograph of our bed,” Depp testified. “And on my side of the bed was human fecal matter.”

He continued, “My initial response to that was… I laughed… It was so bizarre and so grotesque that I could only laugh.”

Later on, when speaking about the incident, “amber turd,” as Depp referred to her, “tried to blame it on the dogs” — Pistol and Boo.

“They’re teacup Yorkies. They weigh about 4 pounds each. The photograph that I saw — I lived with those dogs for many years. I picked up their funk. It was not the dogs.”

Depp has launched a $50 million lawsuit against Heard over a 2018 op-ed for the Washington Post in which she declared herself a survivor of domestic abuse. Though it did not mention him by name, Depp maintains the article insinuated he was the abuser and harmed his career. After the couple’s divorce in 2016, Depp claims he was the one subject to abuse.

Earlier this week, Tara Roberts, who managed Depp’s Bahamian island property, told the jury in the Fairfax, Va., courtroom that she witnessed an instance in which Heard was “viciously trying to pull him back in the house” during a fight.

Roberts alleged that Heard was “clawing” at the Oscar nominee and that she later saw Depp with a “marking across the bridge of his nose.”

Elsewhere, the trial heard from a doorman who worked in the couple’s former building in downtown Los Angeles. Alejandro Romero was asked about a May 2016 fight between the pair which police were called to.

According to PEOPLERomero admitted he didn’t see “any marks or bruises” on Heard’s face, but conceded that he didn’t know if she was wearing makeup at the time.

His statement echoed that of LAPD officer Melissa Saenz, who responded to the emergency call at the couple’s home in 2016, in which she testified that she “did not identify (Heard) as a victim of domestic violence.”

Heard is counter-suing Depp, claiming he defamed her by deeming her allegations of abuse as a “hoax.” Her attorneys de ella have argued that it is his de ella own pattern of poor behavior which led to his stalled career de ella.

In another explosive development, one of Depp’s witnesses, Dr. Shannon Curry, claimed Heard suffers from “borderline personality disorder.”

Meanwhile, Terence Dougherty, general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, which helped draft the op-ed piece that Heard wrote about domestic violence, revealed that he worked to make sure her article didn’t violate a non-disclosure agreement she had with Depp in connection with their 2016 divorce. The final published version, I have conceded, was different than what she originally wanted to appear.

Jurors also heard from Depp’s business manager, Ed White, who claimed the actress bought multiple bottles of wine priced at $500 each. In return, Heard’s lawyers brought up his excesses of her, which included spending millions of dollars to shoot journalist Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes out of a cannon.

Depp has already taken the stand in the ongoing case, with Heard expected to testify in the Virginia courtroom next week.
