Johnny Depp hired a doctor to provide 24/7 private treatment for substance abuse. That same doctor was summoned to check on the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star after a violent fight with his then-wife Amber Heard, the doctor said Thursday in a pre-recorded deposition played in court.
Dr. David Kipper, a private addiction specialist who offered personalized services and traveled the world with the star, said he was trying to help Depp detox from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and cocaine.
Kipper told the court Depp struggled during detox and would get angry with him for insisting that he take his medication.
