get ready it's going to get weird things
are going to get weird welcome to watch
mojo and today we're discussing the
untold story of johnny depp and amber
hurd
i am
a jumble of many many many many things
a collection of good and bad for this
video we're looking at the turbulent
relationship between the two hollywood
stars as well as their past and current
legal battles have you been watching the
trial let us know in the comments
a whirlwind romance
actors johnny depp and amber heard first
met on the set of bruce robinson's the
rum diary which began filming in 2009.
sorry
i didn't realize anyone was there i
thought it was just
floating it is just floating
are you doing what i'm doing
i don't think so
both were in relationships at the time
depp with his longtime partner vanessa
parady and heard with girlfriend tatia
von ray after each of them split from
their respective partners around the
same time in 2012 rumors began to make
the rounds that the former co-stars were
dating each other which the couple later
confirmed to be true johnny is a
wonderful person to work with he's just
a true artist and is so wonderful to be
around and i'm very lucky but they
didn't make their first official
appearance as a couple until they
attended the art of elysium's seventh
annual heaven gala on january 11 2014
days later the pabst got a shot of amber
heard sporting what appeared to be an
engagement ring nothing is a dramatic
change we've been together for a long
time now so it's been a fairly organic
process i have a fiercely independent
spirit depp and heard exchanged vows
february 3rd 2015 at his mother's house
who was unwell at the time two days
later the couple held a ceremony on his
private island in the bahamas
divorce and allegations it didn't take
long for the hollywood rumor mill to
speculate on issues in the marriage and
the couple already made headlines in
2015 while depp was filming the fifth
pirates film this may seem a peculiar
request because someone explained to me
this
to why i'm here heard breached
australia's biosecurity law against
importing animals when she brought their
dogs pistol and boo to the country
without proper paperwork the actress was
faced with a decade in prison but a
judge agreed to drop the charges in
exchange for a guilty plea a public
apology was also likely part of the deal
with the now infamous video having been
released in april 2016. you disrespect
australian law they will tell you firmly
i am truly sorry that pistol and boo
were not declared
protecting australia is important
declare everything when you enter
australia
thanks in may 2016 just days after
depp's mother died heard filed for
divorce citing irreconcilable
differences e.t can confirm amber heard
filed for divorce from johnny depp on
monday three days after johnny's mom
passed away
she also requested a temporary
restraining order due to depp's alleged
abuse heard claimed that her husband
physically and mentally mistreated her
throughout their 15-month marriage often
under the influence the order was
granted but later dismissed after heard
withdrew her allegations they talked to
good game in public but a source tells
us that behind closed doors the marriage
that ended after 15 months was sadly
contentious and filled with fighting in
august 2016 the former couple reached a
seven million dollar settlement an
amount which amber heard reportedly
planned to donate to charities the
divorce was finalized in january 2017.
legal issues on december 18 2018 the
washington post published an op-ed
written by amber heard where she
detailed her experience with domestic
assault she wrote about the treatment
she endured after speaking out while
depp was not named assumptions were made
in the media that he was the culprit it
was like somebody hit me in the back of
the head with a two by four soon after
the article made its rounds disney
dropped the captain jack sparrow star
from the next pirates of the caribbean
installment on december 27th of that
same year uk publication the sun ran an
article criticizing jk rowling for
seemingly supporting depp's role in the
fantastic beasts franchise
we'll do our best mr grendel world
the article recounted heard's
allegations and on june 1st the actor
sued the publication for libel then in
february of 2019 depp sued heard for
defamation over her article depp denied
the allegations saying that heard was
the violent one in the relationship he
also suspected his ex of cheating with
her the adderall's diaries co-star james
franco you want to get a drink
like right now or in general right now
i have to take a raincheck
i have to do something for work heard
was also accused of cheating with tesla
ceo elon musk as well whom she
reportedly began dating in 2017. heard
responded to the 50 million dollar suit
with a counter claim for 100 million
dollars in march 2015 it was reported
that depp injured his hand on the set of
pirates of the caribbean dead men tell
no tales which led to delays in
production however depp later alleged
that heard threw a glass bottle at him
during an argument resulting in the
injury heard claims the injury was
self-inflicted things got even more
complicated when the daily mail released
leaked audio of the former couple in
january 2020 where heard is recorded
admitting to hitting depp in a previous
altercation she threw the large bottle
and it
made contact
and shattered
everywhere
career setbacks and personal lives in
november 2020 a uk judge ruled in favor
of news group newspapers which publishes
the sun stating that the allegations
against the actor were found to be quote
substantially true and on judgement day
british justice delivered in amber
heard's favor this morning johnny depp
lost his libel trial against the sun
therefore the publication is not guilty
of defamation that same month depp
announced his resignation from the
fantastic beasts franchise at the strong
suggestion of warner brothers i wish to
let you know that i've been asked to
resign by warner brothers from my role
as grindenwald in fantastic beasts and
i've respected and agreed to that
request upon losing the role of
grindelwald depp fans created a
change.org petition to remove heard from
the aquaman sequel the petition gained
over 1.9 million signatures however
aquaman producers stated that this held
no weight when deciding to bring herd
back for her role as mara he may come in
there
thank you mara amber heard explained in
the op-ed that she hadn't booked many
roles since speaking out against depp
even being recast in a film for which
she had booked a role other than the
upcoming aquaman sequel heard has only
been in a few films since 2018 as well
as the television miniseries the stand

depp versus heard four years after the
initial lawsuit the depth versus herd
trial began april 11 2022 the trial is
taking place in fairfax county virginia
where there is a washington post print
facility ms heard
brought these disturbing criminal
acts
um
against
me that
that were not based in
any species of truth many legal
correspondents believe the choice in
venue by depp's legal team has to do
with california's strict anti-slap law
which protects those who speak out from
being silenced by lawsuits the law is
still upheld in the state of virginia
but doesn't let defendants stop the
proceedings from the outset the highly
publicized trial is being broadcast live
on court tv televised celebrity trials
are nothing new but given the
star-studded witness list including the
likes of james franco elon musk and paul
bettany it's sure to be a legal battle
for the ages now in this trial that has
already grabbed so many headlines tesla
ceo elon musk who dated amber heard and
actor james franco also expected to
testify virtually on her behalf the
trial continues to reveal damning
information about both parties including
explicit text messages audio and video
of possibly violent altercations and
photographic evidence of injuries during
cross-examination her attorney unveiling
text after text of threatening language
including messages to fellow actor paul
bettany heard and depp each had troubled
childhoods with parents who mistreated
them which may partially explain the
toxicity of their relationship together
no matter the outcome it's clear the
reputations of both actors have been
forever changed in the public eye you
know johnny depp's
reputation is now so damaged that in
some ways he has nothing to lose by
trying to swing the bat and have another
crack at this case do you agree with our
