We recently reported on the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard divorce, which had the potential to get very messy due to the lack of any prenup. But I don’t think any of us were ready for just how messy it was going to get.

Since then there have been allegations of cheating, drug and physical abuse and a restraining order. And who said romance is dead?
Amber Heard recently rocked up to court with a bruise on her cheek where she accused Depp of smashing an iPhone into her face last Saturday night. She has managed to get a temporary restraining order against him as she had “endured excessive emotional, verbal and physical abuse” during their marriage.
There has been much speculation over this, with Depp’s lawyers dismissing the claims, saying that she is shooting for media attention in order to rinse him for his £270 million. In addition, she was pictured smiling with friends hours after the alleged attacks (although her hair was covering the bruised cheek) and the police have since stated that they saw no evidence of injuries when they came to her home that evening:
On May 21, police responded to a domestic incident radio call.
The person reporting did not insist on a report nor was there any evidence provided by the victim that warranted a report.
Officers conducted an investigation and determined that a crime did not occur. The officers cleared the scene and left a business card.

Regardless, Heard did successfully manage to land the restraining order. And now, various other speculative allegations have been flying around, saying that their marriage started to fall apart after Heard cheated with model Cara Delevingne. A source told The Sun:
Amber’s friendship with Cara, which grew closer and closer over time, brought about the beginning of the end for her marriage to Johnny.
They used to party together a lot and made no attempt to hide the fact that they were quite flirty.

Amber always made her bisexual tendencies quite obvious.
But that would spark furious rows with Johnny, who hated how indiscreet she was being.
On one occasion he even screamed at her, ‘You’re making a fool of me’.
And that’s not all. In addition to all of this, Heard has said Depp’s actions were triggered by drug and alcohol abuse. According to a leaked court document, Depp was drunk and high and he threw a small champagne bottle at the wall before using it to break objects around the house. However, another report states that Depp had given up the booze and was just getting high every day.
All in all, there are a lot of mixed messages. I think we can conclude that these two should probably never have married in the first place and it might have been a bit rash to jump into something that was most likely based on fancying the crap out of each other. Whether Heard’s allegations are true and Depp is an alcoholic abusive psychopath, or whether Depp’s lawyers are right in saying that it is staged so she can get at his cash is yet to be seen, we’ll keep you posted.
I wonder if after all this is over, Depp will have a breakdown and get an awful tramp stamp tattoo like Ben Affleck did?
