Depp and Heard’s relationship cycled through some familiar moments of a Hollywood marriage. But its drawn-out ending has become something very rare in the realm of celebrity mega-couples.
“Which is part of what makes this whole thing so fascinating.”“This case being brought to trial is proof that the court acknowledges the notable amount of preliminary wins, evidence, and witnesses in support of Johnny,” a spokesperson for Depp told“To decline the opportunity to clear one’s name and allow someone taking advantage of the system to walk away with zero repercussions would be careless and set a dangerous precedent for similar situations in the future.
Heard’s side agrees the trial will have a lasting legacy, but for completely different reasons. “We believe in the end, the jury will view all the evidence—which is even greater than what was presented in the U.K.—and come to the same conclusion the U.K.
Heard announced on Sunday that she was taking a break from social media for the duration of the trial. “Johnny is suing me for an op-ed I wrote in the Washington Post, in which I recounted my experience of violence and domestic abuse,” she wrote on. “I never named him, rather I wrote about the price women pay for speaking against men in power. I continue to pay that price, but hopefully, when this case concludes, I can move on and so can Johnny.
The couple’s case has gone on for so long and presented so many tabloid beats that it is worth remembering how it came to this. Depp and Heard met on the set ofin 2009. It was a pet project for Depp based on a book by his friend, Hunter S. Thompson. She was in her early 20s and he in his mid-40s at the time. They were both in long-term relationships, she with artist. They separated from their respective partners and began dating in 2012.
