Johnny Depp‘s ex partner, Vanessa Paradis, has reportedly written a letter defending the “Alice Through the Looking Glass” star from Amber Heard‘s recent domestic abuse allegations.
“He is a sensitive, loving and loved person, and I believe with all my heart that these recent allegations being made are outrageous,” Pardis allegedly said in a handwritten letter obtained by TMZ.
Paradis never married Depp, but they share two children together.
“In all these years I have known Johnny he has never been physically abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years,” the letter continues.
In it, Paradis defends Depp’s character, refuting abuse allegations brought by Depp’s estranged wife Amber Heard, Paradis reportedly called the actor “a sensitive, loving and loved person” in the letter.
Depp’s first wife, Lori Anne Allison, also spoke up on behalf of the actor, TMZ reported. She called him a “soft person,” saying he never once got physically abusive during their marriage from 1983 to 1985.
Heard, who was granted a temporary restraining order against Depp on Friday, claims the actor threw an iPhone at her face and pulled her hair. A court hearing for the case will be held next month.
The actress filed for divorce earlier last week claiming irreconcilable differences.
