Johnny Depp and Amber Heard‘s marriage came crashing down after just over a year, when Heard filed for divorce on May 23. Days later, she sought a restraining order, which a judge soon granted, using the following photos as evidence.
Amber Heard claimed that Johnny Depp attacked her on May 21.
In a declaration provided to the court, Heard said that Depp “grabbed the cell phone, wound up his arm like a baseball pitcher and threw the cell phone at me striking my cheek and eye with great force.”
Heard’s declaration also stated, “Johnny continued screaming at me, pulling my hair, striking me and violently grabbing my face.”
“During the entirety of our relationship, Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me,” Heard claimed.
Heard’s declaration states that, during the alleged May 21 incident, Depp “picked up the magnum size bottle of wine he had been drinking out of, and he started swinging it around, smashing everything he could.”
“Suddenly, he began obsessing about something that was untrue and his demeanor changed dramatically,” Heard said of the events of May 21. “He became extremely angry.”
Heard claims that Depp showed up at their home at approximately 7:15 p.m. on May 21 “inebriated and high.”
“Amber is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse,” a memorandum of points and authorities filed by Depp’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, read on Friday.
