Johnny Depp Allegedly 'Tried To Suffocate Amber Heard With A Pillow'

There has been non-stop drama ever since Amber Heard was granted a restraining order against her estranged husband Johnny Depp last week, with Johnny strongly denying the claims as a whole load of sources and insiders have come forward to give their two cents.

And the latest allegations are incredibly disturbing.

According to a friend of Amber’s, the actress texted her during an attack in December and when they rushed to help the star they found Amber covered in bruises after Johnny allegedly attempted to suffocate his wife with a pillow.

Speaking to the New York Post’s Page Six column, the source shared: “I got to her apartment to find her with a cut and bruised lip, a swollen eye and a chunk of hair missing from the top of her head.

"This incident really stuck with me because she confided in me that day that she feared for her life after an intoxicated Johnny tried to suffocate her with a pillow.

"I have personally witnessed the aftermath of Johnny Depp’s violent and abusive behaviour towards her on many occasions.”

The Los Angeles Police Department have now confirmed that they are investigating the domestic abuse claims against Johnny, with Amber’s legal-team revealing that she didn’t tell officials about the abuse earlier because she wanted to “protect her privacy and Johnny’s career” but has now been left with no choice.

Her lawyers explained: “As the result of Amber’s decision to decline giving an initial statement to the LAPD, her silence has been used against her by Johnny’s team. Amber did not provide a statement to the LAPD in an attempt to protect her privacy and Johnny’s career.

"Johnny’s team has forced Amber to give a statement to the LAPD to set the record straight as to the true facts, as she cannot continue to leave herself open to the vicious false and malicious allegations that have infected the media. Amber has suffered through years of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of Johnny.”

Amber’s team previously rubbished allegations that she was using the abuse to “blackmail” Johnny, with one of the former couple’s neighbours coming forward to support her claims in court.

Meanwhile, a selection of Johnny’s famous friends as well as his former partner Vanessa Paradis and teenage daughter Lily-Rose have spoken out to defend his character.
