Throughout their time in the spotlight, some A-listers — including Brad Pitt, Britney Spears, Madonna and Tom Cruise, among others — have found themselves involved in pretty messy divorces.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalized their divorce in 2017, but their relationship drama continued on with a nasty court battle after they’ve both accused each other of verbal and physical abuse.
“I was afraid he was going to kill me, either intentionally or just by losing control and going too far,” Heard alleged during a July 2020 court appearance. “He explicitly threatened to kill me many times, especially later in our relationship.” Depp, for his part, repeatedly denied her accusations.
A jury ruled in favor of Depp in June 2022 and Heard filed an appeal to the verdict two months later. The case was ultimately settled that December.

“It’s important for me to say that I never chose this. I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed,” Heard wrote in an Instagram statement at the time, adding, “I have made no admission. This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward.
