JOHNNY LAUNCHES NEW WAR ON AMBER

-

They may have divorced in 2016, but Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s split has been plagued with drama – and has just become even more toxic.

Johnny, 55, has announced he’ll be attempting to sue ex Amber, 32, for £38m after she claimed he domestical­ly abused her during their 15-month marriage.

The actress has claimed Johnny was verbally and physically abusive towards her during their relationsh­ip and, in 2018, she wrote an article detailing how she had received a public backlash for being honest about domestic violence. But Johnny claims the accusation­s are lies and is seeking millions in damages, even accusing her of having an affair with billionair­e entreprene­ur Elon Musk – whom she dated after the split – while she and Johnny were still together. Elon’s rep denied the affair claims.

Amber’s lawyers released a statement saying, “[Amber] will not be silenced”.

star Johnny had a three-year marriage to make-up artist Lori Anne Allison in the early ’80s, before having long-term relationsh­ips with Winona Ryder, Kate Moss and Vanessa Paradis, with whom he shares daughter Lily-rose, 18, and son John, 16. He went on to meet Amber when they both featured in The Rum Diary, and married four years later.

Amber has been dating Vito Schnabel since last May, after he split from supermodel Heidi Klum in 2017.
