Amber Heard’s clumps of hair, the hole in her scalp and broken bed after a fight with Johnny Depp

Photos submitted by Amber Heard in court documents asking that a judge dismiss the $50 million defamation suit filed against the actress by Johnny Depp show a clump of the actress’ hair that was allegedly torn out after fight with her ex-husband. 

DailyMail.com has obtained that image along with one of the couple’s splintered bed frame that Heard claims Depp broke during a physical altercation just days before Christmas in 2015.

Heard claims that Depp dragged her by the hair and threw her on the marital bed, where he beat her and beat her and at one point declared: ‘I’ll f***ing kill you, you hear me?’ 

She does not remember how the fight ended.  

Just one month prior Heard had been on the cover of Marie Claire where she responded to the rumors that the pair were having difficulty in their relationship by stating: ‘I try not to react to the horrible misrepresentation of our lives, but it is strange, and hard.’

 

This is one of the clumps of hair left on the ground after Johnny Depp tore it from Amber Heard during a December 2015 fight, she claims in new legal filings

It was one of many incidents she described in harrowing detail in a statement in the court filings. 

The fight began with him hitting her, she said. 

 I chose to react by simply standing up and looking him in the eye. Johnny responded by yelling: “Oh, you think you’re a f***ing tough guy?”

Describing what transpired next, Heard wrote: ‘Hoping to avoid the violence, I tried to calm Johnny down, and then went upstairs to try to remove myself from the situation. Johnny followed me, hit me in the back of my head, grabbed me by my hair again, got in front of me on the steps, and then dragged me by my hair up the last few steps. 

‘At the top of stairs, Johnny shoved me twice, which made me fear I would fall. I told Johnny that he had broken my wrist in an attempt to get him to stop.

‘Johnny kept hitting me, and each time he knocked me down, I chose to react by simply standing up and looking him in the eye. Johnny responded by yelling: “Oh, you think you’re a f***ing tough guy?”

‘He reeled back and head-butted me in my face, bashing my nose, which immediately began bleeding, sending searing pain through my face. I instantly started tearing up, and I thought that I would have to go to the hospital. 

‘I told Johnny I wanted to leave him, and that I would call the police if he ever touched me again. When I began to walk away toward the guest apartment, he responded by pushing me, then grabbed me and pulled me from one room to the next, gripping me by my hair.

‘By the time Johnny had dragged me into the upstairs office, I told Johnny that I was leaving him, since I could not put up with his behavior any longer. Johnny reacted by grabbing me by my throat, pushing me down to the ground, and punching me in the back of my head. He grabbed me by my hair, slapping me in the face, and screaming at me something like: “I f***ing will kill you — I’ll f***ing kill you, you hear me?” There were chunks of my hair everywhere and indentations in the carpet where I was dragged.

I worried that Johnny was in a blacked-out state and unaware of the damage he was doing, and that he could actually kill me.’

Heard said the fight continued on a bed, where Depp ‘got on top of me with his knee on my back and the other foot on the bedframe, while repeatedly punching me in my head, and he screamed—as loudly as I’ve ever heard him scream— “I f***ing hate you” over and over again. 

‘The bedframe splintered under the weight of the pressure of his boot. Johnny hit me with his closed fists, and I remember being unable to hear myself screaming because he had pushed my face into the mattress. I screamed as loudly as I could, hoping Johnny would realize he was severely hurting me.

‘For a while, I could not scream or breathe. I worried that Johnny was in a blacked-out state and unaware of the damage he was doing, and that he could actually kill me.’ 

After the hair pulling, she said the next thing she remembered were her friends entering the apartment and finding her bruised.

They saw the hair on the floor and the broken bed. 

Heard, still desperate to ‘protect’ Depp, covered it up, she said, and even taped an appearance on The Late Show the next day with James Corden. 

She asked her friends to help her apply make-up strategically to cover the bruises on her face, the documents say. 

Depp is suing Heard for defamation for writing an op-ed about being a survivor of abuse. She submitted all the evidence in an effort to dismiss his claim. They are shown in September 2015, around two months before the hair pulling incident

‘Johnny Depp physically and verbally abused Amber Heard. 

‘Since their divorce, Mr. Depp has continued to publicly harass Ms. Heard, and attempted to gaslight the world by denying his abuse,’ said Heard’s lawyer Eric George in a statement on Thursday. 

‘It is long past time for Mr. Depp’s despicable conduct to end. Today, we presented to the court irrefutable evidence of Mr. Depp’s abuse.’

He continued: ‘It is regrettable that it will take a judge to finally end the persistent harassment of Ms. Heard by Mr. Depp, but Ms. Heard will take whatever action is necessary to vindicate the truth.’

Heard is asking a judge to dismiss the $50 million defamation lawsuit filed by Depp in response to an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post.

That piece never once mentioned Depp by name but did reference Heard’s tumultuous split from the actor, with the actress writing: ‘I spoke up against sexual violence – and faced our culture’s wrath.’

Depp and his legal team claim that Heard caused further damage to his already declining career, which he accuses his ex-wife of derailing when she she first accused him of abuse in her 2016 divorce filing.

Heard filed those papers just 15 months after the couple were married, and five years after they first began dating on the set of The Rum Diaries. 

Depp dismissed the lawsuit as ‘new lies’.

His attorney told People: ‘ A hoax confronted with the reality of evidence requires new lies to sustain itself. Yesterday’s filing, made by a woman with a prior arrest and incarceration for domestic abuse, presented Amber Heard’s new lies.’ 

They were referring to Heard’s arrest for an incident involving her ex-wife, Tasya van Ree. All the charges against her were dropped and Van Ree said in 2016 that Heard never domestically abused her.
