The abusive relationship between Johnny Depp and wife Amber Heard has fuelled the interest of tabloids once again, after leaked testimony from depositions of the couple's 2016 divorce revealed that Heard claimed that the “Fantastic Beasts” actor had a nickname for his alter ego during his violent bouts, Page Six reported.
"Johnny and I refer to his other personality, the part of him that is present when he beats me up — we call that the monster and have called [that] the monster for many years," Heard noted during a deposition.
