At that time, the beloved makeup artist did not plan to connect his fate with cinema.
Together with his chosen one’s brother, he organized a rock band and wanted to be a musician. The wife was 5 years older than her husband, but this circumstance did not interfere with their love. The marriage ran its course after 2 years. The couple broke up without quarrels or mutual claims.
Johnny Depp's ex-wife accused him of bribing witnesses
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp
For three years now, 56-year-old Johnny Depp has been suing his ex-wife Amber Heard. Then, in 2020, the actress accused her ex-husband of domestic violence and showed the world bruises on her body. But the Pirates of the Caribbean star is sure that the crop marks were drawn, and this whole scandal is aimed at destroying his professional reputation.
Yesterday it became known that Heard again went to court demanding that she be given access to all monetary transactions of The Mandel Group. It was this company that handled Depp’s financial affairs for 17 years. According to Amber, The Mandel Group paid bribes to people who witnessed Johnny's aggressive behavior. “He gave everyone money. Spent millions of dollars to keep them silent. My case is not an isolated story. He’s been behaving like this for a long time,” said the artist.
Amber wants to get justice in court so that Depp can't offend anyone else.
Heard and Depp's relationship began in 2011 on the set of the film The Rum Diary. For the sake of his new chosen one, Johnny left his former common-law wife Vanessa Paradis, with whom he lived for 14 years. In February 2015, Johnny walked Amber down the aisle, but the marriage lasted just over a year.
Previously, Amber spoke in detail about how the artist bullied her, subjecting her not only to physical violence, but also to psychological pressure. According to the actress, her ex-husband pulled out her hair, hit her in the face and body, and constantly insulted her. After another domestic scandal in May 2020, Heard filed for divorce. A few days before this, Depp’s mother died, so the artist plunged into depression for a long time. He did not hide the fact that at that time he drank a lot and took illegal substances, but he always denied assault.

When the scandal became public, Vanessa Paradis came to Johnny's defense. She said that during their long-term relationship, he never showed aggression. The children also supported the father.

According to The Blast, the next hearing in Amber Heard's lawsuit against Johnny Depp will take place in February 2020. The actress hopes that before this time she will be able to gain access to the financial reports of The Mandel Group. Otherwise, the Aquaman star is unlikely to be able to prove his case.

The celebrity meeting took place in New York. Both attended the premiere screening of the feature film “Great Balls of Fire,” in which Ryder was directly involved. Depp admitted that he considers his relationship with Winona first on the list of “serious”.

A couple of months later, he wanted to legitimize the union and proposed to his chosen one. The guys began to collaborate fruitfully and appeared in several joint projects. The loving couple did not want to hide from the ubiquitous journalists how good they were together.
A little later they realized that it was their honesty and openness that played a cruel joke on them. The bride and groom were often at a distance from each other, but were confident that in the future they would create a strong family. Johnny got a tattoo with his lover's name, but after the breakup he adjusted it.

Vanessa Paradis defended Johnny Depp from accusations from the woman who stole him
It seemed that everything had gone to waste. 52-year-old Johnny Depp was left alone in a life tragedy that is terrible for any person, having lost his mother. Three days after the death of his mother, the actor became a participant in a high-profile (as everyone now understands - ed.) divorce proceedings. Having declared his hopes for a quick divorce, he could hardly imagine that the next day his still legal 30-year-old wife would fall upon him. All the world's media are vying with each other to report and print details from the mouth of Amber Heard herself and her representatives. Like, he beat, mocked, threatened, threw phones. In confirmation - a bruise on the cheekbone, as a consequence of the last assault of a Hollywood celebrity.
The court has already ordered that Depp not be allowed closer than 90 meters to Heard. The judge believed the testimony of Amber, who accused the actor of beatings and alcohol and drug abuse.

Against this background, his new film “Alice Through the Looking Glass” is failing at the box office.
But the actor’s ex-wife Vanessa Paradis could not remain indifferent in this story. The 43-year-old singer is the mother of Depp's two children. In such a situation, many in her place would simply gloat, because it was the “victim” of the beatings, Amber Heard, who took her husband away from her.
- Over the years that I was with Johnny, he never raised a hand to me, did not allow physical violence. — says Vanessa Paradis’ letter, which she sent to the editors of TMZ. “What he is accused of is completely different from the person with whom I was connected for 14 wonderful years of my life.”

Let us remember that Johnny and Vanessa Paradis began dating in 1998, after the actor’s breakup with supermodel Kate Moss. Almost immediately they had a daughter, Lily Rose (she is now 16), and 3 years later, a son, Jack. Depp left precisely for Amber Heard, with whom he fell in love on the set of his film “The Rum Diary.” In February 2015, he officially got married for the first time, choosing Heard as his wife.

The day before Vanessa’s statement, his other wife, makeup artist Laurie Ann Ellison, also stood up for the actor. The woman used approximately the same argument. He lived with Laurie for two years before meeting Moss.
Well, we are waiting for the “heavy artillery” in the person of Winona Ryder and the aforementioned Kate Moss...

Not a day goes by without another news on the topic of one of the most notorious scandals of recent times - the divorce of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. According to the wife of the Pirates of the Caribbean star, he repeatedly beat her.

As it turned out, the 43-year-old French actress, singer and model does not hold a grudge against her ex-lover, who exchanged her for a 30-year-old Hollywood blonde. Vanessa assures that Johnny Depp treated her well, never laid a hand on her, and the time spent with him was simply a wonderful period in her life. By the way, the actors lived together for more than ten years, which means that who but Vanessa knows her ex-husband well.
Paradis' handwritten letter is dated May 27, 2020. The woman prepared it while in Los Angeles.
“Johnny Depp is the father of my two children and he is a sensitive, loving and beloved person. I believe with all my heart that the recent allegations about him [Amber Heard's allegations] are outrageous. In all the time that I have known Johnny, he has never been physically violent towards me, and this is not at all like the man with whom I lived for 14 wonderful years,” Vanessa Paradis made a written statement.

Recently it also became known that Johnny Depp plans to give a long interview in which he will present his version of what is happening. The actor categorically denies that he ever hit Amber Heard and threw a phone at her, as the blonde claims. A conversation with Johnny Depp will air on one of the major American television channels immediately after the tour of his band Hollywood Vampires ends. The date, time and place of the actor’s confession are still unknown.
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis lived together in a civil marriage from 1998 to 2012, the actors have two children together - 17-year-old daughter Lily-Rose Melody and 14-year-old son Jack Christopher. The couple separated very calmly, without unnecessary scandals. The reason for the break in relations with Vanessa was Depp's infatuation with his colleague in the film “The Rum Diary”, Amber Heard.
After breaking up with Vanessa, Johnny bought her a luxurious mansion in Hollywood on Mullholand Drive, despite the fact that at that time Paradis was already dating a wealthy businessman.
Amber Heard is Depp's second wife
The final reason for breaking up with Paradis was Johnny's infatuation with the irresistible Amber Heard. The new passion turned out to be the absolute opposite of the intelligent Vanessa. She is characterized by such character traits as excessive impulsiveness, impudence and emotionality. The brave woman did not hide the fact that for some time she had been looking for her own path and was a supporter of same-sex love.
Meeting Depp, which took place on the set, changed her worldview. At that moment, they played roles in a full-length film called “The Rum Diary.” The guys succumbed to their feelings and did not think about tomorrow.
Print media began to fully savor the details of their relationship. Some fans did not believe in the seriousness of their intentions and did not predict a happy future for them. Others were on the side of the loving hearts. The personal lives of the artists were discussed at every turn. At first they refused to comment on the situation, but then they began to appear together at parties and hold hands. Johnny changed his mind about marriage and married a young lady in the winter of 2020.
15 months later, a loud scandal broke out. Johnny Depp's wife Amber Heard wrote a statement about the dissolution of the marriage, arguing that her husband does not hesitate to use brute physical force and periodically beats her. As evidence, she showed photographs showing bruises.
Johnny Depp's ex-wife and children did not believe the monstrous gossip and readily came to his defense. Numerous colleagues and friends supported the man and called Heard a blatant liar. At this time, the Pirates of the Caribbean star was deeply affected by the drama associated with the loss of his mother, so he remained silent.
The divorce was finalized in 2020. Despite the failures, the public's favorite does not intend to give up on his personal life. His last wife pretty much ruined his reputation, but the actor is confident that he will soon meet a worthy match.
