You guys know that I’m actually a really squeamish person when it comes to medical issues and anything involving major surgery and the like? It’s true. I once threw up upon viewing one of those “scared celibate” sex-ed photos of an untreated STD. So I say this with an abundance of caution: do not view the photos at this TMZ link while you’re eating. If you’re squeamish, just don’t look. I’ll describe the photo: Johnny Depp sliced off the top of his finger while drunk and high on ecstasy last year. The photo is of Depp’s finger with the top sliced off. I wish I could un-see it. But here we are. This is what happened:

Johnny Depp accidentally cut off his fingertip in a fit of rage … then dipped the stump in dark blue paint and wrote on the wall in paint and blood the name “Billy Bob” — the actor with whom Johnny accused Amber Heard of cheating — this according to Amber and her people. TMZ has obtained this gruesome photo of Johnny’s butchered finger… It’s an exhibit in her domestic violence case against Johnny. We’re told the incident went down in March of last year, just a month after Amber and Johnny married. They were in a villa in Australia when a fierce argument erupted. According to Amber’s version of events Johnny, who was drunk and high on ecstasy, smashed several bottles and windows and also slammed a plastic phone against the wall unit. She claims a piece of one of the items cut off a portion of his forefinger. Amber’s version goes on … she’s a painter and had dark blue paint in the room. She claims Johnny dipped what remained of his forefinger in the paint and then used the gnarly digit to write various words on the wall, including “Billy Bob” and “Easy Amber.” Amber had done a movie with Billy Bob Thornton and she claims Johnny accused the 2 of sleeping together — something she strongly denied, adding he accused her of infidelity with other men as well. Amber’s people say Johnny didn’t get medical help for nearly 24 hours, so doctors could not reattach the fingertip … they used a flap from his hand to sew on a new tip.

For those of you eagle-eyed gossip hounds, I had the same thought as all of you: was this the mysterious hand injury Depp suffered last year? Back in March of 2015, we were told that Depp “suffered an injury while on location for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in Australia” but that the injury was not sustained during filming. Is this the injury? I wonder how Disney feels about suspending production on Pirates because Depp wanted to get drunk, do ecstasy and smash open his hand? As for the claims that he dipped his finger in paint and wrote that stuff, yes, I believe it. TMZ has photos of that too.
