However, as soon as the journalists once again began the career of the Pirates of the Caribbean star in connection with domestic violence, the story began to acquire new details, becoming much less unambiguous than it might seem at first glance.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
How it all started
The marriage between Depp and Heard lasted only fifteen months - from February 2015, but their joint history began with the filming of the film "The Rum Diary" in 2010, on which they met.
The on-screen couple seemed quite convincing to the audience, but the union of Depp and Heard at the time of the release of the picture seemed impossible, since in December 2010 the actress came out. She admitted that despite the presence of successful relationships with men in her biography, at the moment she is dating a woman - artist Tasya van Ree. Depp had been living with French singer Vanessa Paradis for 12 years.
"Rum Diary" (2010)
However, in February 2015, 28-year-old Hurd still married 50-year-old Depp. However, the marriage of the two actors looked "cloudless" for a very short time. Already in May 2015, Hurd arrived in Australia to shoot the fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean" to her husband in Australia, taking with her two Yorkshire terriers without proper documents.
Due to the geographical isolation of the country, it has strict biosecurity laws, so Heard faced up to ten years in prison for her misconduct.
Part of the charges were dropped due to the fact that Depp and Heard agreed to record a video message for the Australian government. The video, which many considered humiliating, turned out to be beneficial for Australian officials. He made a vivid demonstration that in case of violation of local laws, even Hollywood stars will not go unpunished.
The video message was posted online on April 17 - five days before Heard's 30th birthday, to which Depp did not even appear (in court, the actress said that this was the reason for one of the quarrels). By May 2016, their spats had been going on for several months.
The last straw was the death of the mother of the star of "Through the Looking Glass". 83-year-old Betty Sue Palmer died on May 20, two days later Depp and Heard parted ways, and on May 23 the girl filed for divorce.
A look at the divorce from Heard and her friends
The court accepted the Heard divorce application on May 23, but this information reached the media only two days later. At first, “irresolvable contradictions” were cited as the reason for this decision, but on Friday, May 27, the actress went to the hearing with a bruise under her right eye.
Heard stated that during the marriage, Depp hit her repeatedly, and on her face you can see marks from the iPhone, which the actor threw at her "with the swing of a baseball pitcher." The incident, the actress said, occurred on May 21 - when she tried to call her friend, American photographer Tillet Wright, during one of her husband's drunken brawls.
According to the girl, Depp dragged her by the hair and grabbed her face. As evidence, she presented photographs to the court, and also stated that she had a video of one of the “attacks”.
Throughout our relationship, Johnny was verbally and physically rough with me. I experienced excessive emotional, verbal and physical abuse from him.
He flew into a rage and made humiliating and cruel attacks on me, as well as threatening me every time I questioned his authority or disagreed with him.
Amber Heard, actress
The latest incident (it was then that the iPhone was thrown), according to Heard, occurred on May 21 in Los Angeles - two days before the Hollywood premiere of Alice Through the Looking Glass, where Depp played one of the main roles.
Investigators never found evidence of Depp's attack that day, to which Heard stated that she did not want to file a police report in hot pursuit.
Nevertheless, the aggressive behavior of the actor was confirmed by a friend of his wife. She arrived at the scene and tried to block Heard from her husband, receiving several slaps on her hands, after which Depp broke a bottle of wine in a rage and went to “destroy personal belongings” of his wife.
The actress believes that Depp needs treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, as well as psychological help, as he "suffers from paranoia."
As a result of the initial hearing, the judge temporarily banned Depp from approaching his wife.
Depp's side view, his family and friends
Depp's first reaction to what happened was a formal comment from his representative.
Given the short duration of the marriage and the recent tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not comment on lewd, false stories, gossip and misinformation about his personal life. We hope that the dissolution of this short marriage will happen quickly.
Rep. Johnny Depp
In essence, Depp's representatives began to speak already in court. In their opinion, Heard's behavior is connected with her desire to get the maximum financial benefit from the dissolution of the marriage.
Since the actors did not enter into any marriage contract, the wife can claim a large share in her husband's fortune, which is estimated at $ 400 million.
The media consensus is that Heard is unlikely to receive $200 million, but could expect to be worth around $75 million. To cut financial losses, Depp hired one of the best divorce lawyers in the world - Laura Wasser (Laura Wasser). She has worked with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Angelina Jolie, Stevie Wonder and a number of other celebrities.
Doug Stanhope and Johnny Depp
A close friend of the actor added fuel to the fire of the conflict between Depp and Heard. Comedian Doug Stanhope (Doug Stanhope) for the portal The Wrap said that the wife blackmailed her husband.
Almost four in the morning. I can not sleep. Even take a nap. Today my friend was pilloried by the press as a domestic abuser.
The accusations were accompanied by photos of his wife with a bruise, so he was simply torn to pieces on social networks.
I watched it happen without saying a single ****** [fucking] word. Even though I knew it was all complete ***** [nonsense].
Doug Stanhope, comedian
Stanhope stated that from the very beginning Heard manipulated Depp, but he did not dare to talk about it with the actor. The comedian was afraid that a friend in love would throw him out of his life because of the negativity towards his wife.
According to Stanhope, he saw Depp on May 21 - the day of that quarrel. The actor was upset not only by the death of his mother, but also by the fact that his wife was about to leave him. Moreover, Stanhope claims that Heard blackmailed her husband, promising to lie about his behavior.
Stanhope is convinced that there was no violence from Depp, and Heard's bruises and loud statements are the very cunning plan that the girl was going to implement.
Lily Rose Depp
Johnny Depp also has his 17-year-old daughter, professional model Lily-Rose Depp, who has stated that her father was "sweet" and "loving" throughout her life.
Depp's ex-wife Vanessa Paradis did not remain silent. She noted that in 14 years her ex-husband had never shown a propensity for violence, and considers the behavior attributed to him to be unlike him.
What's next
The next divorce hearing is scheduled for June 17. Until then, Depp is prohibited by law from approaching his wife. Given that the actor's $400 million fortune is at stake, the trial could be lengthy and messy.
However, whatever the outcome, the media does not rule out that a high-profile divorce will be another blow to Depp's career. Failures follow the actor one after another, including the blockbusters Supremacy and The Lone Ranger, as well as the critically smashed comedy Mortdecai. Even the relatively inexpensive film Black Mass performed poorly financially.
"Black Mass" (2015)
During the premiere of Alice in Wonderland, more than half of the audience said they were going to the film for Depp, while in the case of Alice Through the Looking Glass, this figure fell to 35%. Analysts believe that the audience is tired of the actor, and he stopped attracting the female part of the audience.
"Alice Through the Looking-Glass" with its impressive 170 million budget, in contrast to the original film, in the United States, losing first place to the continuation of "X-Men". Despite the fact that the first part of "Alice" has collected more than a billion at the global box office, the second has every chance of not paying off or making almost no profit.
Disney made another big bet on Depp. The fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean" has already been filmed and will be released on May 25, 2017. How the picture will show itself at the box office, if the incident with domestic violence is confirmed in court, one can only guess. But the era of regular blockbusters starring Depp may be coming to an end.
Rumors that the couple are not going smoothly have been circulating for a long time. Like, Depp was addicted to alcohol. And Amber cried that she was marrying "another Johnny." In any case, it doesn't matter now. Heard filed for divorce, citing "irresolvable differences" as the reason. And Depp divorced!
Seems like a lot has been thrown at Depp lately. Quarrels with Heard, the death of his mother and, finally, a divorce. The actor was called to dissolve the marriage three days after the death of a loved one ... Although this was hardly a big surprise for Depp. Admittedly, the couple's relationship went wrong for a long time ... Johnny was not at the anniversary of his beloved, and the antics of the actor in public spoke of his not the best state of mind.
Depp did not even begin to fight for the woman for whom he once left his family ...
“Hopefully, the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly,” he said through his representative (read more).
However, it's unlikely to happen quickly. In a joint life, the spouses did not make children, but they significantly increased the size of bank accounts.
Acquaintance and departure from the family
Johnny and Amber's romance broke out on the set of The Rum Diary. Although at first few people took him seriously. After all, before Depp, the actress preferred female company.
Her life friend was the artist Tasya Van Ree, and in the middle of last year, when a crisis arose in relations with Depp, the beauty spent a lot of time in the company of the French model Marie de Villepin.
But, despite this, Amber then again chose Depp and returned to her beloved, which, in principle, is not at all surprising. Although Depp is not the first Hollywood handsome man, at 52 he can easily give odds to any macho!
For the actor, marriage to Hurd was the second. He first married at the age of 20 to the artist Lori Ann Allison, but the lovers lived together for two years, after which they fled.
After there was an affair with actress Sherilyn Fenn, dancer Jennifer Grey, Tim Burton's muse, Winona Ryder and, finally, Kate Moss (read more).
This, perhaps, was the craziest relationship in the life of a “pirate”: endless quarrels and reconciliations, non-stop parties, drugs, alcohol and unbridled passion.
But four years later, Depp realized that he no longer liked such a life, and broke off relations with the long-legged beauty.
And he met the woman of his life - the French actress Vanessa Paradis. Together they stayed for almost 14 years. And Vanessa gave Depp two children.
Secret wedding and ranch in Texas
Only the lazy did not blame Depp for leaving Vanessa for the sake of a new beauty. And yet the actor was adamant. And after long proceedings on the division of property, he left the family.
And soon secretly signed with Amber. And in the company of friends, he flew off to celebrate on his island in the Bahamas (read more).
Johnny was so in love that he surrounded his young wife with attention and care in every possible way. For Christmas, the actor gave his beloved diamond earrings, a necklace and a ring worth 50 thousand dollars.
No less luxurious was the family nest of the couple. The actor bought the family ranch in Tennessee for $16 million long before the wedding.
Moreover, Johnny by this time already had four mansions in Los Angeles and he could live with Heard in any of them. But he wanted to start family life from scratch! And fulfill the dream of your beloved to have your own ranch.
But they rarely appeared there ... The workload of both actors, constant traveling did their job.
Amber was filming in London for The Danish Girl and Johnny flew to Australia where he did nothing but go to parties instead of filming the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean. Immediately they began to talk about the actor's alcohol addiction, with which the young wife could not do anything. After another scandal, the actress decided to end it all and announced her desire to end the relationship.
Amber Heard is a popular American model and actress. She became famous after starring in the television series Palm Springs and the movie The Rum Diary. Ex-wife of Johnny Depp.Childhood Amber Heard
Amber grew up in Austin, Texas. Her father was the head of a construction company, and her mother worked in the telecommunications industry. As the actress herself admitted, her father wanted a boy, so he taught her to drive a car, ride a horse, and also be strong as a man. Amber's mother recalled that her daughter experienced from childhood how far she could go and how high she could fly. 
Amber was brought up in strict Catholic traditions. Moreover, she studied at the Catholic Academy. Education did not prevent the girl from testing her artistic abilities in the school theater. Spotlight and attention attracted her, and from the age of 13, Amber worked as a lifeguard on the beach and as a cleaner at a local modeling agency in order to save money for shooting her own portfolio.
When Amber was 16 years old, her best friend died in a car accident. The tragedy radically changed the girl's life - she became disillusioned with religion and declared herself an atheist. A year later, the girl went to New York, because she could no longer stay in Texas and was just trying to escape from boredom.
The beginning of Amber Heard's career
In New York, Amber immediately got into the modeling business. It seemed that a childhood dream came true, but the joy was short-lived. I wanted something more exotic, unpredictable, so the girl went to conquer the film industry in Los Angeles. 
Luck was on the side of an ambitious girl - she was easily able to penetrate the world of cinema. Like most Hollywood stars, she began with cameo roles in TV shows: “Oh. S. – Lonely Hearts”, “Jack and Bobby”, “Mountain”. Then the directors of the "full meter" noticed her, after which larger roles followed.
In 2004, the girl starred in the sports drama "In the Rays of Glory", in 2005 - in the low-budget horror film "Ghoul's Drug", the comedy "Killing Sexuality" and "North Country", a drama about female miners with the incomparable Charlize Theron.
This was followed by the first major role in the career of Amber Heard - it was a horror film "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane", which, however, did not receive high marks from critics. Many have noted that the plot of the film is too reminiscent of "Jennifer's Body" and that in this case, Amber Heard should have learned sexuality from Megan Fox.
A significant test for Amber was the shooting of the series Palm Springs, which premiered in 2007. She was approved for the role of Greta Matthews, a girl who lost her mother and loved one. And so the slender actress had to lose 11 kilograms for this role. Alas, out of 12 episodes of the series, viewers saw only 8 - the project was taken off the air due to low ratings.
This was followed by an episode in the landmark series Californication with David Duchovny. The young actress had less than a minute of screen time, but the very fact of participating in such a popular project was worth a lot.
Amber Heard and first popularity
In 2008, Amber Heard appeared in two films that turned out to be very successful from a commercial point of view: the drama Never Back Down, where she appeared before the audience as the beloved of the protagonist, forced to go from an outcast to a martial arts star. The second film was the comedy "Pineapple Express" with Seth Rogen and James Franco, which tells about the adventures of two weed smoker friends. 
These roles became a turning point in Amber's career - she impressed the directors with her fearlessness, the fusion of the wisdom of an adult woman and a real savage, sheer spontaneity and an irrepressible thirst for life. Perhaps because of these qualities, she was cast in the post-apocalyptic black comedy Zombieland, where she played the neighbor of Jesse Eisenberg's character, a student at Columbus.
A significant event for the actress was the shooting of the film "The Rum Diary" - according to the script, she became the partner of the character played by Johnny Depp himself. Amber Heard was delighted with his performance and proudly declared that he is a great actor and an incredible person who helped her to reveal herself to the maximum on the set. Amber even received a Hollywood Film Festival award for her role as Chenot.
The Rum Diary: Amber Heard and Johnny Depp
After that, Amber's career skyrocketed: she was lucky enough to work with Harrison Ford, Liam Hemsworth, Demi Moore; the young actress was very proud of her role as a CIA agent in Luc Besson's "Three Days Before the Assassination".
Amber Heard's personal life
Since 2005, the girl was in a serious relationship with actor Christine Glover, but already in 2008 she surprised fans by announcing her relationship with Tasya Van Ree, a female photographer. This affair was a secret for a long time, and only at the GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) party, the actress decided to open up: “I am who I am. In my opinion, if you deny or hide something, you unwittingly admit that it is wrong. I don't feel like I'm wrong." 
But after filming in The Rum Diary, the spark of passion between Amber and Tasya went out, and the fault was none other than Johnny Depp. For the sake of a 24-year-old actress, he broke up with his wife, Vanessa Paradis, with whom he lived for 14 happy years.
Their relationship developed rapidly, however, like all Johnny Depp's novels - with showdowns and constant disagreements. So, in 2013, Hurd left Depp and had fun with model Marie de Villepin. Depp decided to return the girl and prepared a surprise for her: he built the same bar on his personal island in the Bahamas as in The Rum Diary, and gave the actress a whole beach, after which harmony reigned in the pair again.
On February 3, 2015, Hurd and Depp registered their barque. The wedding took place in the Bahamas, in a narrow circle of relatives and friends. Among those invited were Depp's children - Lily-Rose Melody and Jack Christopher, who reacted very favorably to their stepmother. In turn, Amber has repeatedly mentioned that being a foster mother for Depp's children is an honor and a real gift of fate.
In May 2016, cardinal changes took place in Amber Heard's personal life. She admitted that she decided to break off relations with Johnny Depp and on May 22, 2016, a few days after the death of Depp's mother, she filed for divorce. As a reason, the actress indicated the presence of insoluble contradictions between the spouses. She later told the press that Depp had beaten her. Many artists, as well as his ex-wife, came to the defense of the actor.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard officially divorced back in January 2017, but the details of their joint personal life still excite fans. The fact is that during the trial, the actor's former darling accused him of domestic violence, aggression and alcoholism. The man himself preferred not to comment on what was happening.
Only now Depp decided to break the silence. The man gave a frank interview in which he revealed the truly shocking details of the divorce. So, the actor noted that he brought himself to an extreme degree of nervous exhaustion. As a result, he was on the verge of life and death.
“I have fallen so low that I myself did not expect this. The next step was to arrive somewhere with open eyes, and leave from there in a different way, with closed eyes. I could no longer endure this pain every day,” said the actor.
According to the star, Hurd's betrayal came as a complete surprise to him. He tried for a long time to realize what had happened, and as a result he began to abuse alcohol. Johnny does not deny that his every day began with a bottle of vodka, and ended with tears over a broken heart.
“In the morning I poured myself some vodka and started writing my biography. I worked until tears filled my eyes so much that I could no longer see the page. I tried to figure out what I did to deserve it. I always tried to be kind to everyone, to help everyone, to be honest with everyone. The truth has always come first for me. But what happened happened, ”the man shared his feelings.
According to journalists, during the conversation, Depp could not hold back his tears. Apparently, he is still going through a difficult divorce. Previously, the actor has repeatedly admitted that Amber was the woman of his dreams, and it was with her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life.
Johnny's fans are sure that the accusations of domestic violence were a well-thought-out action by Heard, aimed at sueing the man for a decent monetary compensation. For quite a long time, the girl fought for the division of all the property that Depp had. However, Amber never managed to get the multi-million dollar fortune of the ex-lover.
By the way, the actor cleared up the rumors about his bankruptcy. According to Depp, his financial situation is not at the best level now, but the man is not in poverty. “My son heard from the kids at school that his old man had lost all his money. It's wrong," Johnny said.
Communicating with Rolling Stone magazine, the man said that he wants to quickly forget about the difficult period in his life. Over the past year, Johnny not only had to go through a divorce, but also to bury his mother, who died a few days before the start of the scandal with Amber Heard. Fans hope that Depp will soon return to his former creative form and continue to delight them with bright roles.
0 May 26, 2016, 04:37 PMThe main topic of discussion in the Western media today is Amber Heard. According to tabloids, after 15 months of marriage, the wife of the 52-year-old actor filed a divorce petition with the court, citing the standard wording of "irresolvable contradictions" as the reason.
In a statement on the dissolution of the marriage dated May 23, it is also reported that the actors have already left, while the spouses did not sign a marriage contract before the wedding. In the light of these events, we cannot help but succumb to nostalgia and remember how it all began.
The couple met in 2011 on the set of the film The Rum Diary, after which the actors could no longer think about anything or anyone but each other. Johnny later recalled it like this:
I thought about her all the time and therefore began to follow her and her schedule. It turned out that the same thing happened to her. She also constantly thought about me and watched what I was doing. We met on the first day of the film's press tour and, surprisingly, we got married on the same day, just a few years later.
Johnny even, without embarrassment, admitted to reporters that when he met Amber, he was most admired by the musical erudition of the actress.
We have a lot in common, but one of the first things that hooked me was that she's a big blues fan. I played some old blues song and she recognized it!
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in The Rum Diary
By that time, Johnny Depp had been in a relationship with actress Vanessa Paradis for 14 years, with whom he had two children in common - daughter Lily-Rose and son Jack, but for the sake of Amber, the actor broke up with his common-law wife. In June 2012, the actor's representative made a statement saying that Johnny Depp and his civil wife Vanessa Paradis, who bore him two children, broke up after 14 years of marriage.
In January 2014, Depp made a marriage proposal to his new lover, and on February 3, 2015 they got married. The marriage registration took place in their home in Los Angeles, and the celebration took place in the Bahamas - on the island of Little Holes Pond Cay, owned by the actor.
The wedding, however, did not reduce Amber's jealousy for Johnny's ex-wife, Vanessa Paradis: the actor's young wife even refused to board his 47-meter yacht, named after Vanessa and their common children with Johnny. To please Amber, Johnny first renamed the ship, and then completely sold it.
Otherwise, everything was cloudless. In one of her interviews after the wedding, Amber said that, in general, after the formalization of the relationship, she does not observe any changes:
In fact, no changes have taken place. We were together for a long time, so the marriage itself and the subsequent life were quite organic.
At the same time, Hurd noted that every day her feelings for Depp are becoming stronger and stronger:
I fall in love with him over and over again.
Despite this, the press predicted a short life for the marriage of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. As the reason for this, the journalists called the actor's problems with alcohol and even found an excuse for him: at first, the film "Mordecai" failed at the box office, without recapturing even half of the invested budget, then Johnny did not appear on the set of the fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean", and then broke his arm:
After the wedding ceremony, Amber went to London to shoot The Danish Girl, and Johnny flew to Australia, where he did nothing but go to parties instead of filming the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel.
Depp ignores his wife's calls and messages, at times Amber does not even know where he is and what is happening to him. They hardly speak to each other.
In spite of the public, who claimed that they were "on the verge of a divorce," the lovers posed on one red carpet after another, held hands and looked quite happy. The last time they appeared together was at the Art of Elysium charity event in California in January, and yesterday the media again started talking about their divorce. This time it's official.
