I’m not convinced that a defamation lawsuit against a tabloid, especially one that once ran the headline “Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster”, with the sideline, “Comic put a live pet in sandwich”, is worth airing all of your dirty laundry for the world to see.

And yet, here we are, with each new day of court proceedings in Johnny Depp’s case against The Sun, revealing more about his disturbing relationship with Amber Heard.

On day two of the trial, we moved on from that time Heard may or may not have defecated in Depp’s bed, to the “Boston Plane Incident”.

Because The Sun is on trial here, we’ll turn to another tabloid, The Daily Mail for details, in keeping with the theme.

On the second day of Mr Depp’s blockbuster libel trial in London, he was asked about ‘the Boston plane incident’ in May 2014, where he is alleged to have attacked Ms Heard on a flight from Boston to LA after consuming cocaine, whisky, pills and champagne before passing out in the plane’s toilet.

He denied screaming about how Heard ‘liked getting f****d on set’ and making ‘vulgar’ comments while grilling her about sleeping with Adderall Diaries co-star Franco in 2014.

The Sun’s lawyer, Sasha Wass QC, said Mr Depp made ‘vulgar references to [Ms Heard’s] genitalia’ and called her a ‘go-getter sl**’ in front of crew members on a flight from Boston to LA.

He denied having launched the attack, commenting: ‘That’s quite a stretch of her imagination.’

Charming.

A recording of Depp howling during the flight was also played during the afternoon session:

Depp confirmed that it was, indeed, him howling on the tape, but that he was drunk and drawing sketches in his notebook at the time.

Back to James Franco, one of the many celebrities who have come up in connection with the trial.

Mr Depp claimed that he had been concerned about Franco because Ms Heard had described him as ‘creepy and rapey’ when they starred alongside one another in stoner comedy, Pineapple Express.

He appeared to state that Ms Heard had told him she had to ‘run from Franco’s advances’ during filming – claims which Ms Wass branded as ‘made up on the spot.’

Several women have accused Franco of sexual abuse and harassment, though the actor has denied the allegations.

Other bizarre things that popped up on day two:

• Heard claimed that Depp and Marilyn Manson took his daughter to school and then went on a 24-hour cocaine binge.
• Depp allegedly joked in a text exchange with British actor Paul Bettany about “f***ing Heard’s burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she’s dead’ and drowning his ‘witch’ ex-wife”.
• Depp admitted to joking about putting Heard’s dog in the microwave.

Urgh, make it stop.

I have a feeling this is going to go on for a while, so buckle up.
