She never hid the fact that Johnny Depp broke her heart, but even decades later Winona Ryder points out that he is one of the dearest people in her life.
In the spring of 2016, actress Amber Heard accused her husband Johnny Depp of physical violence and published photos of bruises that she claimed were the result of a horrific attack she experienced. Divorce followed, years of court battles, shocking footage emerged, mutual accusations, and these days the couple is in the courtroom again.
Namely, Depp sued his ex-wife because of her text published in 2018 in The Washington Post, because he claims that, although she did not name him, she clearly implies that she is talking about him. Immediately after the first accusations against Johnny Depp appeared, his ex-partner Vanessa Paradis said that she wholeheartedly believed that the recent allegations were "scandalous fabrications" and that Depp had never been violent during "14 wonderful years".
She was soon joined by Johnny's ex-girlfriend and celebrated actress Winona Ryder, who also ruled out the possibility that the actor was a bully. “I don't want to call anyone a liar, but due to my experience with Johnny, it is impossible to believe that such frightening accusations are true” - Ryder pointed out. The actress added that they fell very hard on her. “I find it very shocking considering how I know him” - the actress added.
“Many years ago, I knew Johnny very well. We were together for four years, I considered him my best friend, he was close to me as if we were family. Our relationship is one of the most important things in my life. I think it is very important that I speak from my own experience. Of course, I was not there during his marriage to Amber, but because of my experience, which is so different, I was completely shocked, confused and shaken when I heard about these accusations against him” - said the actress. – “The very thought of him being that incredibly violent person is far from Johnny, whom I knew and loved. I can't understand these accusations.”
She pointed out that she knows Depp as a good man, full of love, who is protective of the people he loves, and that she has always felt safe next to him. Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder met at the premiere of her film “Great Balls of Fire!” In 1989, when he was 26 and she was 18. It was love at first sight, and Winona once pointed out that everything except Johnny was blurred when she saw him. Two months later, they started seeing each other, and the following year, they made the film "Edward Scissorhands" together.
They were inseparable and, although Winona was so young, they had already become a golden Hollywood couple that everyone followed in her footsteps. They were both crazy with love. Depp already had one marriage behind him, but he was Winona’s first big love. However, the experienced actor was no less enchanted, so he shocked his girlfriend by appearing with a tattoo on his shoulder that said: "Winona Forever".
Only five months after the first meeting and three months since they started dating, Johnny and Winona got engaged and stayed together until 1998. They never revealed why they didn't get married and what led to the breakup, but Depp admitted that it wasn't easy to deal with media attention.
