Amber Heard and Johnny Depp Divorce News and Updates: Heard Claims Physical Abuse By Depp

The 15 month old marriage of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has come to an end after Depp's physical violence on Heard.

In court filings, Amber Heard claims that Johnny Depp hit her with a cell phone, pulled her hair and screamed at her last Saturday night - and was abusive to her throughout their marriage life.

"During the entirety of our relationship, Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me," she claims in the documents filed against Depp in the court.

"Amber is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse," said Depp's attorney, according to court documents.

On Saturday, May 21, it was brutal as Heard claims that she was having a conversation with two friends when Depp entered their downtown Los Angeles apartment. As the group of friends began to talk about the recent passing of Depp's mom, the actor "began obsessing about something that was untrue" and became "extremely angry," she states in the documents.

Heard began calling a friend trying to help relieve the situation.

"Johnny ripped the cell phone from my hand and began screaming profanities and insults at iO [the friend]," she said. "I heard iO yell at me to get out of the house. Johnny then grabbed the cellphone, wound up his arm like a baseball pitcher and threw the cellphone at me striking my cheek and eye with great force." Heard submitted photos appearing to show a bruised eye as evidence.

Heard says she covered her face and began to cry, then actor "charged" at her and "taunted" her, questioning if the phone actually hit her.

"He then forcibly pulled back my hair as I attempted to stand up from the sofa," she said. "I then yelled 'Call 911' - hoping it would be heard by iO who was still on the phone."

"Johnny continued screaming at me, pulling my hair, striking me and violently grabbing my face," she continued.

Heard claims that Depp ran out of the apartment "smashing everything he could" with a wine bottle after a friend from next door entered the apartment with a key previously provided by Heard.

 Judge's Order

On Friday, a judge ordered Depp (who's currently in Europe) to stay 100 yards away from Heard and granted her exclusive use of their apartment, though Depp was not ordered to pay any temporary spousal support or attorney's fees.
