Johnny Depp’s injury that delayed Pirates of the Caribbean 5 may have come from a fight with Amber Heard.
The details behind Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s divorce are getting pretty ugly. Rumors of abuse are circulating around the internet, followed by photographs, a restraining order and slow box office sales. Dough Stanhope, comedian and friend of Johnny Depp, said that Amber Heard is actually blackmailing the actor. But, it appears as though Amber Heard and her legal team are fighting back.
Heard has reportedly revealed that Johnny Depp’s injury from 2015 – the one that delayed Pirates of the Caribbean 5 filming in Australia- was not a go-carting accident as previously reported, instead Depp injured himself after a fight with his estranged wife. Johnny Depp allegedly punched a wall in the heat of the argument.
The story comes from an ET exclusive and seems to support some of the claims she made during her sworn statement in court this past Friday:
“I live in fear that Johnny will return to (our house) unannounced to terrorize me, physically and emotionally,” Heard wrote.
She detailed Depp’s history of drug and alcohol abuse, saying that she feared for her safety, claiming the “Edward Scissorhands” star has a short fuse, an “exceptionally scary” temper and suffers from paranoia.
“I am extremely afraid of Johnny and for my safety,” the actress said in her declaration for a restraining order. “Depending on his interaction with alcohol and drugs. Johnny has a long-held and widely-acknowledged public and private history of drug and alcohol abuse.”
Heard’s attorneys also released a statement addressing the ongoing media circus.
“As the result of Amber’s decision to decline giving an initial statement to the LAPD, her silence has been used against her by Johnny’s team. Amber did not provide a statement to the LAPD in an attempt to protect her privacy and Johnny’s career. Johnny’s team has forced Amber to give a statement to the LAPD to set the record straight as to the true facts, as she cannot continue to leave herself open to the vicious false and malicious allegations that have infected the media. Amber has suffered through years of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of Johnny…
We took the high road. Unfortunately, Johnny’s team immediately went to the press and began viciously attacking Amber’s character. Amber is simply a victim of domestic violence, and none of her actions are motivated by money. Amber is a brave and financially independent woman who is showing the courage of her convictions by doing the right thing against Johnny’s relentless army of lawyers and surrogates.
The Family Law Court is not going to be influenced by misinformation placed in the social media based on anonymous sources. Amber is the victim. Amber is a hero.”
All of these claims, photographs and accusations paint Johnny Depp as a violent man, with his entire friends and family standing behind him despite the damaging allegations.
