Amber Heard ruined Johnny Depp's life

Johnny Depp's friend, who was also a former bandmate during his beginnings as a musician, mentioned that the actress ruined his life since before his controversial divorce.

One of the news that has managed to stay in force for a couple of years is the controversial divorce of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Although the separation happened in 2017, the scandal would come years later when domestic violence lawsuits began to emerge, followed by an article in 2018 published by The Sun in which Amber describes the actor as "a monster" and it is the same newspaper that called Depp "a wife beater".

Since then the lawsuits have jumped back and forth, pointing out alleged aggressions not only by the actor but also by the co-star of Aquaman. Although it remains difficult to judge the case from the outside and take some side, there has been evidence that the actress did assault her then-husband, from recordings of phone calls to witnesses. It still seems like this is far from over, but even though both Depp and Heard are trying to get on with their lives, they're still a topic of conversation.

Professionally, the star of Edward Scissor Hands is the one who has suffered the most, because he was fired from large franchises such as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl or Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The protagonist of London Fields, meanwhile, has done very well when it comes to her career as part of the DC Extended Universe. However, she is the one who has carried the most negative comments from Depp fans.

Although it seems that in recent demands things have improved for the musician too, this is far from over, and is growing even more as a show. A few weeks ago it was confirmed that a documentary was in development in which the entire scandal and the legal process of the ex-couple was addressed, for which Discovery will be in charge. For this research that will be projected in several episodes, not only archival documents or hard data have been used, but also interviews.

One of them has been revealed recently and already gave a lot to talk about, because it is the testimony of Bill 'Beano' Hanti, who was part of the rock band to which Depp belonged in the 1980s. The musician commented that Amber had managed to enter The Rum Diary, where they both met, and it was since then when "she ruined his life".

She just saw it coming. She had the opportunity to be a part of that film and she worked on it. She ruined his life, she really did. Look at it, it totally ruined his career. It cost him his friends. Part of his family. She got into John's head and drove him absolutely crazy to the point that he was drinking and taking drugs, to the point of madness.

These details come from Cinemablend, and we will have to wait for the rest of the episodes that will be part of this series to know more testimonies from both parties, as well as the way in which a romance evolved on set, to a marriage, to one of the most complicated divorces within the entertainment industry. It will also be interesting to see if the documentary will show some favoritism or if it will allow the viewer to make their own judgment with different types of testimonies and data.
