The lawsuit also cites an editorial written by Heard for The Washington Post in 2018. Heard shared her alleged domestic abuse.

While the editorial didn’t mention Johnny Depp’s name, it was obvious for readers due to the public disputes in the recent months. It was certain that she was describing her ex-husband Johnny Depp. The attorney of Depp that the article’s validity “depends on the central premise that Ms. Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Mr. Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her.”

Not only is Depp stating that Heard’s allegations are false and also says that Heard abused him. The lawsuit cites an incident where Heard threw a glass bottle at him. This resulted in Depp’s hand getting severely injured. It even got a surgery later.

The lawsuit says that the photos posted by Amber Heard showing her injuries suffered from Johnny Depp were nothing more than a ruse. The documents also have two police officers testifying under oath that they saw no injuries on Heard’s face.
