New Photos Supporting Amber Heard’s Abuse Claims Have Surfaced
“They got in so many fights”.
Amber Heard has refuted claims by comedian Doug Stanhope that she is manipulating and threatening to blackmail Johnny Depp.
That photo shows Heard, 30, with a C-shaped red mark around her right eye, including apparent scar residue below the eye, as well as an apparent vertical bruise on her right temple. A rep for Depp has not responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment about the photos, or about Heard’s allegations of abuse.
Representatives for both Heard and Depp have yet to respond to the latest claims, although the Hollywood veteran’s spokesperson blasted the assault accusations on Friday, stating, “Amber is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse”.
Heard’s lawyers Samantha Spector and Joseph P. Koenig said the actress had been reluctant to report the alleged domestic violence to the police in consideration for Depp’s career. The actress sought and was granted a temporary restraining order.
As we know, Heard filed for divorce from the 52-year-old after 15 months of marriage on May 23.
In addition to the May 21 iPhone incident and the December 2015 incident, Heard described an incident on April 21 during which she says that Depp “violently shoved me to the floor” after grabbing her hair.
Depp has since denied all abuse allegations. As a term of their divorce, Heard is demanding that Depp pay spousal support and has enlisted her lawyer to file documents listing her earnings. “I have personally witnessed the aftermath of Johnny Depp’s violent and abusive behaviour towards her on many occasions”, she said.
His bodyguards have also backed up this statement, saying that Johnny Depp was nowhere near his soon to be ex-wife when authorities arrived, despite her letting out a scream in order to make police think he was.
In court papers, Heard details two other alleged domestic violence incidents.
The attorneys said their client has “suffered through years of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of Johnny”, adding that Heard “cannot continue to leave herself open to the vicious false and malicious allegations that have infected the media”.
Heard’s attorneys released a statement regarding loved ones coming to the actor’s defense, including his daughter Lily-Rose and his ex-love, Vanessa Paradis.
The guards rushed in but apparently found Depp at least 20 feet from her within seconds of her yell, TMZ reported.
