Actress Amber Heard details alleged abuse from ex-husband Johnny Depp during her court testimony. The former couple met on set of The Rum Diary in 2011 and married in 2015. A year later, Heard filed for divorce and accused Depp of domestic abuse, leading to a contentious legal battle that been ongoing ever since. Depp previously lost a libel case in the UK that he brought against the British tabloid The Sun over an article that referred to him as a "wife beater."

In 2018, Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post in which she detailed her experience of domestic abuse at the hands of her ex-husband.
