During the second day of her testimony on Thursday,the actress, 36, described a fight with thePirates of the Caribbeanstar, 58, over his daughterLily-Rose Depp, now 22, in November 2013.
Heard said she “started to feel protective” of Lily-Rose after only knowing her for a short time and shared her concerns about “a famous musician over the age of 18” staying at their home.
“I felt protective over Lily-Rose and concerned and naturally they were not my children, it’s not my place and I understand that, I know it’s a sensitive subject, so I understand why Johnny got so upset with me,” she said on the stand.

“Listen, sweetheart, if you are at a party and someone hands you the joint, take the joint from that person and pass it to the next person… don’t experiment with drugs with people you don’t know,” he said.
“Please do me the honor of coming to me when you are ready when you really feel you are ready,” Depp continued. “Because I don’t want your first experience in this world to be with people you don’t know, taking things you don’t know that I can’t trust, so it’s a safety issue.”
He said he wanted wanted Lily-Rose to avoid going into a “paranoid tailspin.”
“I knew that the marijuana I had myself, that I smoke myself, is trustworthy, is a good quality and I was bound and determined not to have her try any drugs out there in the world because it’s too dangerous,” he said.
“If that is wrong in your eyes, I appreciate what you think but I was raising a daughter and I was being a responsible parent as far as I was concerned,” he added.
At the time, Depp recalled how Lily-Rose later came to him and said she was “ready” and he consulted with her mom Vanessa Paradis, who he said also talked to their daughter about it. The exes, together from 1998 to 2012, also share 20-year-old son Jack.
