Jail For Johnny? Amber Heard Talks To The Cops About Johnny Depp's Alleged 'Violent Attack' In The Hopes Of Opening Up A Police Investigation

Despite claiming to want to "keep this matter as private as possible," Amber Heard is set to make an official statement to the LAPD regarding Johnny Depp's "violent attack," which allegedly took place days before the 30-year-old blonde filed for divorce.  

As Star readers know, the Drive Angry actress filed and was granted a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband of 15 months after claiming he had mentally and physically abused her throughout their relationship.  

The assault allegations caused for a major media backlash, with the 52-year-old star's ex and baby mama, Vanessa Paradis, condemning the allegations as "outrageous." The actor's long-time friend Doug Stanhope, also fueled the fire, calling Amber's claims an act of blackmail. On June 3, Heard filed a defamation lawsuit against Stanhope, insisting his claims were false and caused "tremendous harm."  

Because of the “vicious false and malicious allegations” against her character,  Samantha F. Spector and Joseph P — Amber's legal team — now claim that, despite declining to give an initial statement to police officials, the star now finds herself "forced" to clear her name, Page Six reports.  

"Her silence has been used against her by Johnny’s team," the lawyers' statement read. "Amber has suffered through years of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of Johnny."  

“In domestic violence cases, it is not unusual for the perpetrator’s playbook to include miscasting the victim as the villain. In reality, Amber acted no differently than many victims of domestic violence, who think first of the harm that might come to the abuser, rather than the abuse they have already suffered," their statement continued. "Amber can no longer endure the relentless attacks and outright lies launched against her character in the Court of Public Opinion since the tragic events of May 21st."  

Amber's team claims she's hoping her statement will allow for the LAPD "to conduct an accurate and complete investigation," and that they're confident that if and when this takes place, "Amber’s claims will be substantiated beyond any doubt," and that "hopefully Johnny will get the help that he so desperately needs.”  

"Amber is the victim. Amber is a hero,” the statement concluded.
