Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s divorce is one of the most shocking divorces in Hollywood in recent years. The famous couple got married in 2016. After 15 short months, the marriage ended. Since then, the world has been exposed to the deepest and ugliest truths about their relationship. It’s hard to keep up with everything because there are many witnesses, events to follow, and stories to connect. So we’re bringing you a detailed timeline of everything that happened before, during, and after their relationship.
Happy start!
Johnny and Amber first met in 2012 on the set of The Rum Diary. However, both were in relationships with other people at the time. They only made their relationship public in 2014. They announced their engagement not long after. The couple is immersed in the happiness of love. The way they talked about each other made it look like they were passionately in love. However, when the two of them took each other to court for a divorce, Amber told the court she witnessed Johnny abusing drugs and alcohol a year after they first met. However, the wedding took place in 2015.
The beginning of the end
The couple’s relationship had no problems until they got married. In 2016, Amber unexpectedly filed to issue a ban on Johnny. It wasn’t until the press broke the news that people knew their relationship was over. She presented photographic evidence of alleged domestic violence by Johnny. And she said she was filing a claim for his most recent assault. Amber said that Johnny was outraged a few days ago because he focused on something wrong. She said that he threw the phone at her head, which is why she has bruises on her eyes and cheeks. He was also involved in grabbing and pulling her hair.
Johnny’s reputation is damaged.
At the end of May, the court issued a restraining order for Amber. To this news, Johnny’s attorneys immediately responded, “Amber is trying to reach an early financial settlement by alleging abuse.” According to Johnny, Amber made up the story to get money from Johnny. However, Amber countered, saying, “During our relationship, Johnny abused me verbally and physically. I have endured excessive emotional, verbal, and physical abuse from Johnny, including angry, hostile, humiliating, and threatening behavior whenever I questioned his authority. Him or disagree with him,” she told the court.
Out-of-court settlement
In August, the couple finally decided to settle out of court. Amber withdrew the ban after receiving a $7 million settlement. She asked for $50,000 in alimony. She made an important point by mentioning that it was never a financial matter and vowed to contribute it to two charities. “As described in the moratorium and divorce settlement, money plays no role for me and never has, except that I can donate it to charity and when I do. in doing so, hopefully helping the less defenseless,” her public statement said.
Make a joint statement.
In the end, the couple released a joint statement. “Our relationship is passionate and sometimes fickle but always bound by love,” they said. While this may be intended to explain why their relationship got to that point, it only raises more questions from the public. The statement also included the following lines: “Neither party made false accusations for financial gain. Never intended to harm physically or mentally. Amber wishes Johnny all the best in the future.” It seems the couple has found some peace in each other. Sadly, that peace did not last long.
Property received by each person after divorce.
After a year of completing the ban, the couple finalized their divorce. And, of course, like in any other divorce, each has to keep things out of the relationship. In addition to the divorce settlement, Amber also has to raise dogs. On the other hand, Johnny has to keep assets around the world. That’s probably because they’re all under his name. Before marrying Amber, he owned most of these properties.
Both agree to play nice.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, there is a non-discrimination clause in the couple’s agreement. This means that neither of them can slander the other or speak ill of their relationship. As celebrities, this is in their best interest. However, we know that is not the case. Amber claims that it was Johnny who broke the terms first. She accused him of defaming her in front of some media, saying she lied about domestic abuse. She also claims this gives her the right to punitive damages.
Official statements of both
According to Johnny’s attorneys, “The op-ed [Amber’s article] relies on the central premise that Miss Heard was a victim of domestic abuse and that Mr. Depp caused domestic violence against her. there.” They also stated that “Amber’s suggestion that Mr. Depp was a domestic abuser is completely untrue.” In response, Amber’s team said: “Johnny Depp abused Amber Heard both physically and verbally. Since their divorce, Mr. Depp has continued to harass Ms. Heard publicly and try to shock the world by denying his abuse. It is time for Mr. Depp’s despicable behavior to end long ago.”
