Actress Amber Heard says a perceived affair with fellow actor James Franco led to ex-husband Johnny Depp assaulting her on a cross-country flight in 2014. Taking the stand for a second day as part of a multi-million dollar defamation trial, Heard cast Depp as deeply troubled by jealousy and drugs, reports bbc.com. Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over an article in which she said she was a victim of abuse, reports bbc.com.

She is countersuing for $100 million. On Thursday, Heard reportedly said that much of her ex-husband`s anger was caused by his belief that she was seeing James Franco, whom she said Depp "hated". Franco starred alongside Heard in `Pineapple Express` and `The Adderall Diaries`. That jealousy, she claimed, led an angry Depp to repeatedly question her on a flight from Boston to Los Angeles, in which he allegedly kicked her.
