Amber Heard releases new photos of alleged domestic abuse by Johnny Depp

Amber Heard, who has filed for divorce from actor Johnny Depp and accused him of domestic violence , has released fresh photos which allegedly depict past incidents of abuse by the Hollywood superstar. The 30-year-old actress sports a cut lip and seemingly bruised eye in the new photos. The injuries were allegedly inflicted by Depp, 52, in December 2015,

Heard has got a restraining order against the actor and claimed that besides the latest incident of violence on April 21, the actor was violent to him in the past as well. In documents filed May 27 to seek a temporary restraining order against Depp, Heard had alleged that during the "entirety" of their four-year relationship,

"Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me." She described a December event that possibly correlates with the alleged timeline of these new photos.

"There also have been several prior incidents of domestic violence with Johnny, in particular there was one severe incident in December 2015 when I truly feared that my life was in danger," she had said in her court declaration. Depp's divorce attorney Laura Wasser claims that Heard, who filed for divorce from Depp on May 23 after just 15 months of marriage, is "attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse."
