'It's Very Tricky' — Winona Ryder Confesses 'Horrific' Truth About Her Relationship With Ex-Fiancé Johnny Depp Amid Amber Heard's Domestic Abuse Allegations

Before Johnny Depp said "I do" to Amber Heard, he almost walked down the aisle with Winona Ryder. And now that he's facing domestic abuse allegations, the Girl Interrupted star is finally revealing intimate details of her relationship with the Pirates of the Caribbean star!

Winona, 44, and Johnny, 53, met in the early 1990s, and were together for four years. They were engaged for three of those years — and Johnny infamously tattooed "Winona Forever" on his right arm.

"All I have to offer is my own experience, which was a very, very long time ago," she recently explained to Time.

"It’s very tricky because if it were any other type of scandal, like cheating, you could be like, ‘None of my business. No comment. Not appropriate for me,’" she added. "But I think because what is being said is so horrific and such a global issue for millions of women, obviously, that I understand why people feel it is their business."

"I can only speak from my own experience, which was wildly different than what is being said," she said. "I mean, he was never, never that way towards me. Never abusive at all towards me. I only know him as a really good, loving, caring guy who is very, very protective of the people that he loves. It’s hard because I feel like—that’s my experience. And it’s been a very long time."

"I don’t know how you feel about it, but it’s like anybody who says anything about it is a victim-blamer," she continued. "I wasn’t there. I don’t know what happened. I’m not calling anyone a liar. I’m just saying, it’s difficult and upsetting for me to wrap my head around it. Look, it was a long time ago, but we were together for four years, and it was a big relationship for me. And we have a lot of mutual friends. I just never heard anything like that about him. But, again, I feel like even saying that, I’m going to get death threats or something. "

"But yes, it’s really hard. I don’t know what your love history is, but imagine someone you were in a relationship with was accused of this," she included. "I get that there are patterns of abuse.. But it’s weird because imagine if someone you dated when you were—I was 17 when I met him—was accused of that. It’s just shocking. I have never seen him be violent toward a person before."

Winona is not the only ex to speak out in defense of the Sweeney Todd star.

As Star previously reported, his ex-partner Vanessa Paradis wrote a handwritten letter in defense of her baby daddy.
