The on-going legal battle between actor Johnny Depp, known for numerous roles such as Captain Jack Sparrow and more recently, the villain Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, and his ex-wife Amber Heard, who recently starred as Mera in Aquaman has been one of the most controversial topics in Hollywood for the last several years.
Now, Depp has spoken about the movie industry's apparent blacklisting of him.
The legal row began following a brief marriage, when Heard filed for divorce and accused Depp of domestic violence. Depp denied the claims consistently, and claimed that Heard simply used the accusations as a tactic to get a fast out-of-court resolution. This did happen, as Heard retracted the claims following a $7 million payment.
Subsequent accounts given by sources close to the Heard and Depp painted a different story, with claims that Heard was the one committing domestic violence rather than Depp, and that the actress was also abusive towards assistants and employees. The legal battle between the former couple continues, however despite the case not being clear cut, Depp seems to have suffered more for the allegations.
