Amber Heard and Johnny Depp‘s domestic violence case has been dragging on for years now, but a surprising new piece of evidence has set the internet ablaze this week.
For those unaware, the two Hollywood stars were married from 2015 to 2017 and are now involved in an abuse case filed by Heard’s lawyers. Unfortunately, their careers have been influenced by the feud, too, especially Depp’s, who says that he lost his role in Pirates of the Caribbean because of his ex-wife’s accusations.
Now, the Jack Sparrow actor has filed a multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit against Heard, accusing her of physical violence and emotional abuse. And though there’s still a lot of he said/she said going on, an audio clip from a conversation that took place a few years back has surfaced this week and it has tons of people now demanding “justice for Johnny Depp,” given that it sees Heard admitting that she physically abused him.

I'm so proud of this guy. β€΅οΈ After all he endured, with the whole world turned against him with torches and forks, he resisted with a force that I had never seen in anyone. I am proud of him and I also love him with all my strength! ππ«#JusticeForJohnnyDepp https://t.co/b7TGICHNd2

As you can see, one of the things fans are asking for is for Heard to be removed from the various sponsorship deals she has and even be fired from some high profile upcoming movies, like Aquaman 2. Whether any of these companies will actually listen to the internet and cut ties with the actress, that we don’t yet know. But with the public opinion on her changing quite rapidly and more and more people taking Depp’s side, it’ll be interesting to see how things ultimately play out here.
After all, we imagine this legal tussle is far from over and though that aforementioned audio tape certainly doesn’t bode well for Amber Heard, we’ll reserve judgement until all the evidence comes to light and we can form a better picture of just what went on during her tumultuous marriage to Johnny Depp.
