Up until about a week ago Johnny Depp could well have laid claim to being the world’s most loved actor, but he can wave those days goodbye.

Estranged wife Amber Heard has dropped a few bombshells as she files for divorce, not least of which is claims that Depp physically abused her.

Depp now has a temporary restraining order brought against him, Heard arriving at Friday’s court proceedings sporting a black eye.

First up let’s see some of those pics:

More here from ABC:

Heard submitted pictures to the court showing a bruise on her face that she claimed was inflicted during a fight, and said she feared Depp might harm her.

Actress–model Heard said in a sworn statement that Depp had been verbally and physically abusive throughout their time together.

Quick to Johnny’s defence have been his ex-wife and daughter, the latter posting this to her Instagram:

Then this from ex-wife Vanessa Paradis:

Something else that has come to light is that Amber Heard actually ‘wed’ former love Tasya Van Ree eight years ago. Here’s the Mirror:

The 30-year-old actress entered into a legally binding domestic partnership with Tasya, 40, in March 2008 in ­California and changed her name to Amber Van Ree.

A name-changing document seen by the Daily Mirror shows the reason she altered her surname was because of a “domestic partnership”.

The revelation comes amid claims that Depp…was riled by bisexual Amber’s close relationships with her former female flames…

Amber used her new name to obtain fishing and hunting licences, and even used it for business dealings, starting her company Under The Black Sky Inc under her “married” name…

The source claimed: “Tasya and Amber were on and off towards the end of their relationship, but didn’t really break up until late 2012, and there was definitely some crossover between her and Johnny for Amber’s affections.

“It says a lot that Amber didn’t change her name back as soon as she started dating Johnny.

“She still believed that she and Tasya could reconcile, but as things got more serious she knew she couldn’t wed with Tasya’s name.

No doubt we’ll hear each and every last detail about this one as it plays out on front of the world’s watching eyes.
