Johnny Depp & Amber Heard’s infamous and ugly divorce battle has found its way on Netflix with a docu-series titled Depp Vs Heard. Their divorce was a public spectacle that shocked and dismayed fans. The couple, who met on the set of the 2011 film ‘The Rum Diary’ and surrendered to their undeniable – scintillating chemistry, married in February 2015. But their relationship quickly soured, and Heard filed for divorce in May 2016, alleging that Depp had been physically and verbally abusive during their marriage.
Depp denied the allegations, and the couple engaged in a bitter legal battle that played out in the media. In 2016, Heard reached a $7 million settlement with Depp, and the divorce was finalized in 2017. But the controversy didn’t end there. In 2018, Heard wrote an op-ed where she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp sued her for defamation, alleging that she had defamed him by implying that he was a domestic abuser. The trial began in April 2022 and lasted for six weeks.

Heard testified that Depp had been physically and verbally abusive to her on multiple occasions, and she presented photos and medical records that she said supported her claims. This ugly trial is now streaming on Netflix titled Depp Vs Heard, and whoever watched it was upset with themselves for wasting their time.
