Well what do you know, everyone who was so quick to write Amber Heard off as a manipulative money grabber may have to eat some humble pie.

By now we’re sure you’re generally up to speed with this story (yesterday’s post HERE), but today more photos have emerged that show Depp may have abused Heard as far back as December of last year.

The pictures were taken by the 30-year-old’s friend, where Amber can be seen sporting a cut lip and small bruise. NY Daily News with this:

Text messages reportedly exchanged between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s assistant have emerged, detailing alleged assault by the actor including that he had ‘kicked her.’

Then this:

‘Johnny and Amber’s relationship was always toxic,’ a source close to the couple [said]

‘They got in so many fights.’

A source close to the actor added; ‘Johnny tends to get moody and difficult and go into himself when things aren’t right in a relationship. When he gets like that, he can act nasty. It doesn’t made for a good marriage.’

Heard had reservations about the union even before the marriage according to one source, who claims the actress got ‘cold feet’ at the couple’s engagement party.

The source added however;’ ‘When Johnny Depp wants you, you don’t really say no.’

Who knows where this one will end up, but we can be sure it’s only going to become messier.
