Did Johnny Depp make Amber Heard ‘fear for life’

If you think the actual allegations revolved around a simple case this year, well, you’re wrong. It was violence that lasted around three years, from 2013 to 2016. And that’s also when the star couple split from one another.

During the hearings, the judge made it a point to highlight 3 separate incidents. And that’s where he expressed how the actor made Heard fear for her life. In particular, one incident from Australia recalls how Depp physically and verbally abused his partner.

During the incident, Depp was not only under drugs but the effects of alcohol too. While Depp claimed that Heard severed his finger, the court dismissed that plea. The judge felt that Miss Heard wasn’t responsible.
