Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's $100 million defamation case is in its second week.
Depp testified that Heard had "a need for violence" during their relationship.
Below, Insider has listed the most explosive moments from the trial.
Johnny Depp's sound engineer said Amber Heard once yelled "how dare you talk to me' at him on a plane
Johnny Depp's sound technician testified that the actor's ex-wife Amber Heard once yelled at him for talking to her on a plane.
Keenan Wyatt — a sound technician who has worked on Hollywood films for 35 years, including Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise — told a Virginia court that the incident happened during a 2014 private jet flight from Boston to Los Angeles.
Wyatt said Heard appeared to be giving Depp "the cold shoulder" on the plane. At one point, Wyatt said he approached Heard and "said something to the effect of, 'You know he cares about you.'"
Wyatt said Heard responded by yelling at him.
"All of a sudden she snapped and started yelling at me. 'How dare you talk to me? Get away from me.' So I went back to my seat and minded my own business," he said. "She was abruptly loud. It was a quiet plane – all of a sudden it got very loud."
At several points during the hearing, Wyatt continued that he has "never seen Johnny abuse anybody ever."
Depp discussed what he described as his abusive childhood on the stand
While on the stand, Depp went into great detail about his turbulent childhood, which he said was filled with abuse from his mother, Betty Sue Palmer.
As Insider reported, Depp said that his mother could be "quite cruel" and was physically abusive in many ways — from flinging ashtrays at him to beating him with a high-heeled shoe.
Earlier in the trial, Depp's sister, Christi Dembrowski, testified about their childhood abuse, saying both she and Depp vowed to never perpetuate that abuse with their own families.
