Johnny Depp's former partner Vanessa Paradis and their daughter dismiss accusations of abuse involving Depp
In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp found himself in the midst of a legal battle on Friday, as a temporary restraining order was issued against him. The order comes amidst allegations of domestic abuse made by his former partner, Amber Heard.
The couple, who met on the set of the 2011 film The Rum Diary, had a tumultuous relationship that reportedly ended in divorce filings in Los Angeles earlier last week. Heard, an actress-model, has claimed in a sworn declaration that Depp was verbally and physically abusive during their relationship.
Heard appeared in court with a black eye, accusing Depp of assaulting her. She has also submitted pictures to the court showing a bruise on her face that she claims was inflicted during a fight and said she feared Johnny Depp might harm her.
However, Depp's ex-partner, Vanessa Paradis, has come to his defence. A letter obtained by TMZ, signed by Paradis and dated Friday in Los Angeles, describes Johnny Depp as "a sensitive, loving and loved person." The letter goes on to denounce the recent allegations against Depp as "outrageous."
Meanwhile, their daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, also defended her father on Sunday. She posted a photo on Instagram showing Johnny Depp helping her walk as a baby, along with a heartfelt message of support.
Lily-Rose Depp, 17, has been making headlines of her own recently. She walked the red carpet at Cannes for the premiere of La Danseuse (The Dancer), where the film received mixed reviews.
As the legal proceedings continue, the focus remains on the allegations against Johnny Deep and the impact they may have on his career and personal life. The story is still unfolding, and only time will tell how it will all play out.
