Main content: Johnny Depp has been a Hollywood heartthrob since he debuted. Over the years he becomes one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood. Amber Heard has been a rising star in the recent few years. They first acted together in the 2009 movie, '˜The Rum Diary'. Since then they had become friends and it was in 2012 that the two began dating. After a short engagement, the two got married in a very private ceremony but things were not as they seemed. The couple soon filed for divorce and alleged physical abuse that took the internet by storm.
In the latest development in the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard case, the court has given Johnny access to his ex-wife's phone records. This could prove to be a huge turning point if Depp is able to prove that the assault allegations were fake.
If Depp is able to do it then he will be able to prove that the allegations his ex-wife put on him that he assaulted her were fake. He will be able to prove that she forged her injuries and nothing she claimed that he had done to her was actually true.
Depp's lawyers have been very vocal about the entire situation. They have constantly said in public that the images that Amber has paraded around in the court and in public are fake. They claim that the images were doctored and that they do not paint a clear image of what really happened.
This entire fiasco started back in 2009 when Depp met Amber on the set of their movie ‘The Rum Diary. The two struck up a friendship and began talking and getting along while filming. The two had great chemistry and their friendship seemed like it could go somewhere. But the two never dated until 2012.
The two began dating in 2012. This was when Depp broke up with his partner Paradis with whom he was with for 14 long years. The couple began dating and they were the talk of the town as Depp was known to be a playboy and Amber was a rising star. They were a power couple in the making.
In 2014 the internet was shocked when Amber was seen with a large engagement ring on her finger. This was something that no one was expecting. In multiple interviews, Depp confirmed that the couple was engaged and that there was nothing to hide from the people.
It was in 2015 that the couple got married in a very private ceremony. This was just for family and close friends. The entire ceremony took place in their home in L.A. This marriage was soon followed by controversy as the couple was seen making an apology video together for breaching Australia's biosecurity laws.
In 2016 Amber filed for divorce. This was shocking but what was even more shocking was the accusation that Depp had physically assaulted the actress and was physically abusive towards her. This sent a shock wave through the internet as Depp was never perceived to be the type of person who could assault a woman.
She alleged that she filed for divorce after Depp had thrown his phone at her face leaving her with injuries. She even got a temporary restraining order filed against the actor. According to her, Depp was physically abusive throughout their relationship and was constantly under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Once the news broke that Depp was abusive to Amber, the internet was a storm of hate towards Depp. The actor saw a drop in sponsors and even a loss of movies. Hardcore fans were also against the actor after the allegations spread across the web.
Amber received $7 million as a part of her divorce settlement. It was reported that she donated that money to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union. People thought that this could be the end of the entire issue but there was way more to come from Depp's side.
In 2018, Depp counter sued Amber. It was in 2020 that things got way more complicated and truths began to reveal themselves. It was revealed in an audio recording that Amber said she had hit Depp but, he never hit her back. This went against everything she said when she sued him first.
Depp even went after the publication house known as The Sun for calling him a wife-beater. He also wanted a report from the ACLU whether or not Amber actually donated her divorce settlement money to the kid's hospital or not.
The couple is still in turmoil with Amber losing multiple movie roles after the truth came out that she had lied about Depp hitting her and that he was abusive. Depp however has maintained his movie deals and has starred in multiple movies since the lawsuit came out.
