A romantic love story and marriage between two Hollywood stars, no one expected it to end with talking about insults, beatings, financial compensation in millions of dollars, a severed finger, and a cosmetics company revealing the wife's lies.

So what happened to the two stars Johnny Depp and Amber Heard since their engagement in 2014 until now?

Fast marriage and faster divorce

The two American stars met for the first time while filming the movie "The Rum Diaries", and when they separated in 2012, they announced their engagement and then got engaged in 2014, to marry in 2015 in a private ceremony, and this marriage lasted only 15 months.

The two published a joint statement in which they said that their relationship was filled with passion and love, and that neither of them had claimed something that was not true for the sake of money, and neither of them intended to cause the other to harm the other, whether physically or emotionally.

Opinion article opens the door for trials

Everyone thought that this was the end of the story of the two stars, but it was the beginning. In 2018, Heard wrote an opinion piece in the "Washington Post" in which she tells her story of physical abuse, and although she did not mention the name of her Hollywood ex-husband, everyone knew who she was talking about.

Accordingly, the hero of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series of films filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife for slander and defamation, saying that because of these allegations his reputation was damaged and he lost many job opportunities. Claiming $100 million in compensation.

The trial is now taking place in a courtroom in Virginia, the United States, the state that houses the headquarters of the "Washington Post" newspaper, which published the "Heard" article about which the case is based, and broadcasts the trial live on the Internet, which made it the focus of attention around the world.

Although many of Depp's allegations were used before during his failed lawsuit in England against The Sun when it called him a "wife-beater" there are still plenty of surprises to emerge in the ongoing trial.

A severed finger and a confession to being beaten

"Deeb" accused his ex-wife of what she accused him of. Rather, he used the testimony of the attending physician, who confirmed that he had treated Deeb's finger, the tip of which was cut off. At the hospital, the chef found the missing limb in the kitchen among the shards of glass.

Deeb said that this wound resulted from a quarrel with his wife at the time, and she threw a bottle at him that cut off the tip of his finger, while she claimed that he was the one who hit and sexually assaulted her and caused her several wounds. In turn, she did not seek treatment.

The "Deep" team also revealed another surprise that the communication platforms circulated widely after its publication, which is an audio evidence of a recorded conversation between the spouses, in which the defendant's voice appears clearly and she tells him that she was not punching him, but rather hitting him, and that he is a wonderful person, but he must mature.

As for the last surprises of the trial, it did not come out of the courtroom, but rather from the official page of the cosmetics company "Melani". Heard's lawyer cited one of their products as the defendant's way to cover her bruises and wounds throughout her marriage to "Depp", but the company announced in a video, for a period of 15 Just a second, that the product "The Guide" was produced in December 2017, that is, after their divorce, which was in 2016.

It is expected that the full duration of the trial will take about 6 weeks, and it is believed that things will become more attractive to public opinion than they are now, given the nature of the witnesses expected to testify, such as the American actor “James Franco” and his English counterparts “Paul Bettany” and the American “Ellen Barkin”. As well as the American businessman "Elon Musk".
