Johnny Depp has broken his silence on former wife Amber Heard, after a lengthy court battle following her allegations of domestic abuse.
Depp, 55, was accused of lashing out at Amber, 32, whom he met on the set of The Rum Diary, when she filed for divorce in May 2016 after 15 months of marriage, allegedly hitting her with an iPhone.
