Amber Heard got the new nickname "Amber Turd" after she was accused of defecating in the bed of their LA penthouse. The soiled sheets were discovered by a cleaner who was convinced the mess was made by a human and not from their pet Yorkshire terriers.Ms Heard's defence said the faeces were from one of their pet dogs Boo who “had problems with her toilet habits".The court also heard that their dog had toilet trouble after eating a bag of Depp's marijuana."Amber Turd", "MePoo" and "PoopGate" all trended on Twitter shortly after the incident was revealed during the trial but US media have politely called it "the poop incident".

The dog incident

The former couple's pet dogs featured several times during the three week trial. Johnny Depp admitted in court that he had in the past joked about microwaving one of them.

It was also claimed he dangled one of the dogs out of a car window during a drive, howling as he did so.

The Edward Scissorhands actor had the top of his finger sliced off in an incident in 2015.While Mr Depp was filming for an instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, the couple had "an extraordinary argument" - something they both admit.During the heated exchange Mr Depp had the tip of his finger sliced off which he claims was from a bottle thrown by Ms Heard.

However, the 34-year-old called his version of events nonsense, suggesting Mr Depp did it to himself when he repeatedly smashed a phone into the wall. The court was told that after the fight pieces of raw meat were littered around where they were staying and mashed potato was smeared on the walls by Mr Depp.More disturbingly, Ms Heard said she found messages from her ex-husband written on a mirror in the actor's own blood.
