Johnny Depp, Amber Heard reach divorce settlement, avoid court hearing
Heard filed for divorce on May 23, after two years of marriage, alleging that Depp physically attacked her on a number of occasions
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have settled their rancorous divorce battle and will avoid a court hearing that would have potentially aired intimate and embarrassing details on both sides of the nasty celebrity split.
The actors said in a joint statement issued on Tuesday: “Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm. Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity. There will be no further public statements about this matter.”

The settlement was reached on Monday for an undisclosed sum. Heard filed for divorce on May 23, after two years of marriage to Depp.
The actress was granted a temporary restraining order on May 27 following her allegations that Depp physically attacked her on a number of occasions during their brief marriage.
Depp has denied that he ever engaged in domestic abuse against his wife.
