AMBER HEARD-JOHNNY DEPP's CONFLICT
In 2015, the duo tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on Depp's private island in the Bahamas.
However, their relationship took a turn for the worse, and in 2016, Heard filed for divorce, alleging physical abuse by Depp during their marriage while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Depp vehemently denied these allegations, claiming that Heard was using them as a means to secure a premature financial settlement. The couple's divorce was finalized in 2017.
In the aftermath of their separation, Johnny Depp launched a lawsuit against Amber Heard for defamation. The legal action was prompted by an op-ed penned by Heard in the Washington Post in 2018, titled "I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change."
Although Depp was not mentioned by name in the article, Heard referred to herself as a survivor of domestic abuse, leading Depp to file a defamation suit against her.
