Actress Amber Heard thought it was "a joke" when Hollywood star Johnny Depp reportedly slapped her for the first time when she asked about one of his tattoos.

Heard is being sued for defamation by her ex-husband Depp over a 2018 op-ed she wrote about being a victim of domestic abuse and she took the stand at Fairfax County Circuit Court for the first time in the trial, when she recalled how the `Pirates of the Caribbean` allegedly got violent after she questioned him about the `Wino Forever` tattoo he has on his arm, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
