Yet more Depp dirt

People mag says a series of texts apparently exchanged by Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's assistant Stephen Deuters in 2014 suggest Depp assaulted Heard several times.

"He's incredibly apologetic," Deuters writes after an incident in which Depp allegedly kicked Heard. "He wants to get better now."

Heard allegedly answers, "I don't know how to be around him after what he did to me yesterday. I don't know if I can stay with him."

People mag also has published photos of Heard with physical injuries allegedly incurred at Depp's hands.

Depp, who has yet to speak publicly about the debacle, was in Denmark on Wednesday, where he performed with his band, the Hollywood Vampires.
