Amber Heard admits to 'hitting' ex-husband Johnny Depp


Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's relationship problems have played out in the media for many years, with the Aquaman actress, 33 opening up about Depp abusing her emotionally and physically during their marriage.

She penned an open letter which read, “Let’s start with the truth, the cold hard truth. When a woman comes forward to speak about her suffering, about injustice, instead of aid, respect and support, she will be met with hostility, skepticism and shame. Her motives will be questioned and her truth will be ignored. No matter how terrible or terrifying surviving trauma may be, truth is, it can pale in comparison to what happens after.”

It has recently been revealed through leaked audio clip that Heard has been the one abusing Depp throughout their relationship. In the chilling voice recordings, Amber can be heard saying “I'm sorry that I didn't, uh, uh, hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you, it was not punching you. Babe, you're not punched.”

She also warns Depp that she can’t promise that she won’t get physical again.

Johnny Depp is in the middle of a $50 million defamation case against Heard, where he included images of his own bruised and battered face following Heard’s alleged violent attacks.

This is a developing story.
