LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge ordered Johnny Depp to stay away from his estranged wife after she accused the Oscar-nominated actor of repeatedly hitting her during a recent fight and leaving her face bruised.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carl H. Moor also ruled that Depp shouldn't contact Heard until a hearing is conducted on June 17.
Depp's attorney, Laura Wasser, declined to comment.
Amber Heard claims in legal docs during their entire relationship Johnny Depp was verbally and physically abusive, and she lays part of the blame on drug and alcohol abuse.
TMZ has obtained the legal docs Amber filed to support her claim that Johnny smashed an iPhone against her face Saturday night, which she claims triggered her move to file for divorce. As we reported, cops came but she declined to file a report.
Amber claims, before the alleged incident over the weekend -- during her birthday party at home last month Johnny showed up "inebriated and high." She says after the guests left, they argued and he threw a magnum-sized bottle of champagne at the wall and a wine glass at her. She says he grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her onto the bed. She also says he grabbed her by the hair and shoved her to the floor.
Amber says she didn't see Johnny again for a month, until Saturday night. She says he was drunk and high again and they were talking about his mom's passing the day before. She says he "suddenly began obsessing" about something, got mad, grabbed the phone, "wound up his arm like a baseball pitcher and threw the cell phone at me striking my cheek and eye."
She claims he also pulled her hair and struck her, then she says he grabbed a magnum-sized bottle of wine, chugged some and then used the bottle to break objects around the house.
He's obviously a drunk. I wouldn't be surprised if he got abusive. Disgusting
Also why would she divorce so soon after his mother's passing unless it was serious. I believe her
Holy ****, this escalated quickly. Never would have thought Johnny was the abusive type but then again you never know. I see him in a whole new light now.
Is how a lot of people are going to subconsciously interpret and treat this when they forget about it in a year. People like him need 1) to be locked up and 2) to be shamed out of a public career for setting a terrible example to young people who may look up to him
