He recalled an incident when the actress threw a glass bottle at him leaving him injured. His fingertip chipped off because of glass. Johnny Depp also accepted to doing drugs. The Pirates of Caribbean star also rubbished the reports that alleged that he put out a cigarette on Amber. He said, "I can certainly say, without hesitation, there’s no way under the sun that I would flick a cigarette at her or burn her with a cigarette. If I flicked ashes, and ash got on her, but she’s certainly not screaming out in pain as if a cigarette is being put out on her."
