Photos submitted by Amber Heard and her attorneys in response to a defamation lawsuit filed by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife show the actress’ destroyed closet after her then-husband allegedly went on a rampage.

Broken clothing racks and scattered designer clothing, shoes and purses are seen covering the floors of the $3 million Los Angeles penthouse where Heard kept her clothing and accessories.

It was one of the five connected penthouses that the actor formerly owned by the actor in the Eastern Columbia building in Downtown Los Angeles.

The images were shared in text messages between an employee of the couple and a worker in the building.

 ‘Good morning sir… So … Um … Johnny destroyed Amber’s closet. And there’s some other damage to PH5,’ wrote the individual working for the couple.

That person then added: ‘You’re the person I should talk to about that, correct?’

Kevin, who worked for the building where Depp was living at the time, responds that he will deal with the situation, prompting the other individual to text: ‘Insanity. Just f***ing insanity.’

This happened on March 23, 2015, a month after Heard and Depp tied the knot on a private island in the Bahamas.

Newlyweds: The incident occurred just one month after the couple (above in February 2016) were married

‘Johnny Depp physically and verbally abused Amber Heard. Since their divorce, Mr. Depp has continued to publicly harass Ms. Heard, and attempted to gaslight the world by denying his abuse,’ said Heard’s lawyer Eric George in a statement on Thursday. 

‘It is long past time for Mr. Depp’s despicable conduct to end. Today, we presented to the court irrefutable evidence of Mr. Depp’s abuse.’

The partner at Browne George Ross LLP continued: ‘It is regrettable that it will take a judge to finally end the persistent harassment of Ms. Heard by Mr. Depp, but Ms. Heard will take whatever action is necessary to vindicate the truth.’

Heard is asking a judge to dismiss the $50 million defamation lawsuit filed by Depp in response to an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post.

That piece never once mentioned Depp by name but did reference Heard’s tumultuous split from the actor, with the actress writing: ‘I spoke up against sexual violence – and faced our culture’s wrath.’

Depp and his legal team claim that Heard caused further damage to his already declining career, which he accuses his ex-wife of derailing when she she first accused him of abuse in her 2016 divorce filing.

Heard filed those papers just 15 months after the couple were married, d five years after they first began dating on the set of The Rum Diaries.

WHY JOHNNY DEPP IS SUING AMBER HEARD

In December 2018, Amber penned an op-ed for The Washington Post about being a survivor of abuse. She did not mention him by name in it. 

The pair had finalized their divorce which bound her from sharing details of their acrimonious split. 

The op-ed is published in full below: 

‘I was exposed to abuse at a very young age. I knew certain things early on, without ever having to be told. I knew that men have the power — physically, socially and financially — and that a lot of institutions support that arrangement. I knew this long before I had the words to articulate it, and I bet you learned it young, too.

‘Like many women, I had been harassed and sexually assaulted by the time I was of college age. But I kept quiet — I did not expect filing complaints to bring justice. And I didn’t see myself as a victim.

‘Then two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.

‘Friends and advisers told me I would never again work as an actress — that I would be blacklisted. A movie I was attached to recast my role. I had just shot a two-year campaign as the face of a global fashion brand, and the company dropped me. Questions arose as to whether I would be able to keep my role of Mera in the movies Justice League and Aquaman.

‘I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.

‘Imagine a powerful man as a ship, like the Titanic. That ship is a huge enterprise. When it strikes an iceberg, there are a lot of people on board desperate to patch up holes — not because they believe in or even care about the ship, but because their own fates depend on the enterprise.

‘In recent years, the #MeToo movement has taught us about how power like this works, not just in Hollywood but in all kinds of institutions — workplaces, places of worship or simply in particular communities. In every walk of life, women are confronting these men who are buoyed by social, economic and cultural power. And these institutions are beginning to change.

‘We are in a transformative political moment. The president of our country has been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual misconduct, including assault and harassment. Outrage over his statements and behavior has energized a female-led opposition. #MeToo started a conversation about just how profoundly sexual violence affects women in every area of our lives. And last month, more women were elected to Congress than ever in our history, with a mandate to take women’s issues seriously. Women’s rage and determination to end sexual violence are turning into a political force.

‘We have an opening now to bolster and build institutions protective of women. For starters, Congress can reauthorize and strengthen the Violence Against Women Act. First passed in 1994, the act is one of the most effective pieces of legislation enacted to fight domestic violence and sexual assault. It creates support systems for people who report abuse, and provides funding for rape crisis centers, legal assistance programs and other critical services. It improves responses by law enforcement, and it prohibits discrimination against LGBTQ survivors. Funding for the act expired in September and has only been temporarily extended.

‘We should continue to fight sexual assault on college campuses, while simultaneously insisting on fair processes for adjudicating complaints. Last month, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos proposed changes to Title IX rules governing the treatment of sexual harassment and assault in schools. While some changes would make the process for handling complaints more fair, others would weaken protections for sexual assault survivors. For example, the new rules would require schools to investigate only the most extreme complaints, and then only when they are made to designated officials. Women on campuses already have trouble coming forward about sexual violence — why would we allow institutions to scale back supports?

‘I write this as a woman who had to change my phone number weekly because I was getting death threats. For months, I rarely left my apartment, and when I did, I was pursued by camera drones and photographers on foot, on motorcycles and in cars. Tabloid outlets that posted pictures of me spun them in a negative light. I felt as though I was on trial in the court of public opinion — and my life and livelihood depended on myriad judgments far beyond my control.

I want to ensure that women who come forward to talk about violence receive more support. We are electing representatives who know how deeply we care about these issues. We can work together to demand changes to laws and rules and social norms — and to right the imbalances that have shaped our lives.’ 

Depp claims it is defamatory.  

Depp’s alleged destruction of Heard’s closet would have occurred while he was on hiatus from filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

That hiatus was not planned and rather a forced four-week break that was brought on after Depp suffered an injury to his hand.

Heard had previously claimed in court papers that Depp cut off the tip of his finger during an argument while he was ‘drunk and high on ecstasy.’

He was angry at the actress because he believed she had been sleeping with Billy Bob Thornton according to Heard.

Thornton and Heard both deny that claim. 

Depp did not have the finger treated until almost 24 hours after he sliced off the top of the digit according to Heard, and doctors had to use a flap of skin from his hand to fashion a new tip. 

In photos taken a month after the incident when the pair returned to Australia, Depp and Heard are seen getting off a private jet with his finger wrapped in a scarf.

The Gold Coast Bulletin reported the incident at the time it occurred and the reporter later said that one of Depp’s bodyguards offered to pay them if they revealed their source. 

They said the injury happened after a ‘wild weekend bender’ at the Coomera mansion owned by Australian motorbike racer Mick Doohan where Depp had been staying during the film’s production. 

Depp traveled back to the states to have what was described as an on-set injury treated by doctors after the incident.

The film, which initially had a massive production budget of $250million, reportedly went over by $70million, costing $320million in the end.   

Depp managed to deliver in the end however, with the film grossing $794 million worldwide.
