Johnny Depp’s Bizarre History Of Self-Harm

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard slung a lot of mud in the dirtiest divorce in Hollywood — but Amber's most bizarre claims weren't news to readers of The National ENQUIRER. In addition to troubling new video released of a drunken Johnny at home, Amber also revealed that Johnny once lost the tip of a finger during another heated argument — and then used the mutilated digit to write in paint that she was sleeping with Billy Bob Thornton!

Amber claims that Johnny was "drunk and high" when he accused her of cheating after cutting himself with a broken phone. Tragically, The ENQUIRER had already reported on Johnny's sad history of self-mutilation!

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star once tried to explain the series of scars on his left forearm where he used to routinely cut himself as a teenager. "Good times, bad times, it didn't matter," said Johnny. "There was no ceremony. It wasn't, like, 'Okay, this just happened, I have to go hack a piece of my flesh off.'"

The actor also admitted that he hadn't easily outgrown the sick habit. The ENQUIRER caught him casually explaining: "My body is a journal, in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something. A specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself — whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist."

Johnny later insisted, however, that he was feeling "so close to the light" after years of being "miserable and self-defeating." That was when he had seemingly settled down with longtime love Vanessa Paradis.

Now the bizarre behavior caught on Amber's secret tapes has exposed what Johnny describes as "the dark side in myself." It's a side that could have cost him millions in their divorce settlement!
