Oh how the tables have turned in the Amber Heard slash Johnny Depp saga.
Fans now want Johnny Depp to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of
the Caribbean series. They are demanding to remove his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, from
any future Aquaman movies. Most importantly, people want “hashtag Justice
for Johnny Depp”. For, you see, the latest development in the
feud between exes Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has brought in even more chaos.
Two years after finalizing their divorce, the ex spouses are still locked in a legal
battle. They continue hurling allegations at each other while trying to prove it’s
the other party who was the real abuser in their relationship.
“I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you," Heard admits in the leaked
audio recording of their joint therapy session. Not hurting, not punching… but still hitting.
Is the cat out of the bag on the true identity of Johnny Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard?

So The Daily Mail published (and USA Today authenticated) a series of phone recordings
Heard made in 2015, as she and Depp were trying to solve their marriage issues during therapy.
Heard claimed her then-husband was taking her for granted. To which Depp responded it
was her throwing pots and other stuff at him. Next, Heard admits that sometimes, she was
the one initiating violence against Depp. The actress clarified she did not hurt or
punch him. It was just a slap. Responding, Depp said he loved Amber and would
do anything to become a better husband. He, however, added that they would have to separate
should she continue being violent. "I do not want to leave you. I do not want
a divorce, I do not want you out of my life. I just want peace. If things get physical,
we have to separate," Depp said in the recording. "God, I [...] sometimes get so mad I lose
it," Heard answered. She promised she would do anything to change - but, at the same time,
did not promise she would be perfect or refrain from getting physical again.
What does Camp Amber have to say about this now, in 2020? Heard’s spokeswoman claims
what Depp did was “vindictive”. Her attorney pointed out that a woman could fight or talk
back if she indeed had been a victim of repeated domestic violence.
Now, let us remind you what has gone down between Heard and Depp up to this point. Amber’s
family got involved, too. Although it is suggested that their disposition toward Depp ranged
from “I’ll kill you” to “I love you, son”.
Freshly married after several years together, Heard and Depp gushed about each other in
interviews in 2015. “I just fall in love again and again,” Heard said. "She's sharp
as a tack," Depp said, "A southern belle and sweet as can be, and very good for me."
Barely two years on, Heard filed a restraining order against Depp for allegedly throwing
a phone in her face. Obviously, their marriage was also over.
In 2018, Heard published an op-ed in the Washington Post. The actress never name-dropped
Johnny Depp, but it was all too clear that she was talking about him.
"I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture's
wrath for women who speak out". In retaliation, Depp accused Heard of defamation
and sought $50 million in settlement. Later, he claimed Heard was mixing “prescription
amphetamines and non-prescription drugs with alcohol," and listed his own injuries his
wife inflicted on him. He said Heard "hit, punched and kicked”
him, along with throwing objects into his body and head, severely injuring him. In one
particular case, Heard allegedly ended their post-nuptial argument by severing his fingertip
with a shattered glass from a thrown bottle. Also, Heard allegedly put a cigarette out
on his right cheek. Heard’s lawyers, however, were not having
it. They described Depp’s actions as frivolous attempts to silence her.
The press obtained alleged text message exchange between Depp and Amber Heard’s parents right
before the divorce saga hit the news. “This is my life too, what are my children
and my children’s friends supposed to think? I do not deserve this, and they do not deserve
this... especially not from her," Depp said. He stressed that his love for Heard had been
“constant and impenetrable”. Paige Heard insisted her daughter was heavily
influenced by her lawyers to file a restraining order against Depp.
“She did not want to do it. She felt she was betraying her only love but the lawyers
said so. Please don't pass this on if you ever talk to Amber again. I love you, son,"
Paige Heard replied. While texting Heard’s father, David Heard,
Depp insisted
he did not throw a phone in
her face. The actor also expressed worry about his then-wife putting herself in deep trouble
for perjury. In short, according to Heard’s parents’
texts, the motive behind her going down the lawsuit lane was simply to avoid being thrown
out of Depp’s penthouse. Sources, however, claim that Heard’s father
threatened to beat and shoot Depp for "ruining his baby girl's career and [tarnishing] her
reputation in Hollywood." The claims come from the guy who used to work on Amber
and Johnny's classic cars, and communicated with Amber’s family members.
