Johnny Depp Breaks His Silence After Amber Heard Files For Divorce

Johnny Depp has broken his silence three days after his wife, Amber Heard, filed for divorce, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’

The 52-year-old actor released a statement amid reports that he did not have a prenuptial agreement in place and his soon-to-be ex-wife was seeking spousal support.

The statement on behalf of the ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ actor revealed that he is looking to divorce “quickly”.

In addition, the spokesperson addressed the loss of Johnny’s beloved mother, Betty Sue Palmer, who died just days before news of the couple’s split emerged.

The statement said: “Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation, and lies about his personal life.

“Hopefully the dissolution of his short marriage will be resolved quickly.”

The couple’s breakup comes just weeks after the pair appeared in a viral video made for the Australian Government after Heard was fined $1,000 for bringing their dogs, Pistol and Boo, into the country illegally.

According to The Sun, their embarrassing apology video, which made them a global laughing stock, could be the root cause behind the separation.

“Johnny felt humiliated by the whole ordeal and believes Amber made him look like a fool,” a source told the paper.

“It just doesn’t fit with his serious image and he hated being mocked. The dogs are Amber’s so she should really have done the thorough checks.”

Even though Amber officially began the legal process to end their union, it was reportedly Johnny who had “enough” of their marriage.

The Hollywood couple, who met on the set of ‘The Rum Diary’, married in a private civil ceremony at their home in Los Angeles in 2015.

Depp and Heard do not have children together, but Depp has a daughter, Lily-Rose and son, Jack from his previous relationship with Vanessa Paradis.
