Johnny Depp, amid allegations of abuse from wife Amber Heard, performed live with his band, The Hollywood Vampires.
The band is headlining the Rock in Rio Festival in Portugal. He went on stage early Saturday morning local time.
Depp, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, and Duff McKagen performed at the
festival in Lisbon. TMZ reported that fans appeared to be extremely
supportive of Depp. “Depp and the Hollywood Vampires are headlining the
Rock in Rio Festival — and just took the stage well after midnight
there. Almost all the fans in the front row said they were there purely
to see Johnny — and waited a looooong time for him,” the report stated.
On Friday, Heard, 30,was granted a temporary restraining order
against Depp and was seen leaving the courtroom in Los Angeles with a
bruise around her right eye. The order requires Depp, 52, to stay 100
yards away from Heard until a hearing in June.
Heard filed for divorce from Depp earlier in the week. In the court
filing, she alleged Depp had been abusive “during the entirety” of their
relationship. She also claimed he threw his iPhone, hitting her in the
face on Saturday.
“It’s an ongoing thing that she needs protection from,” a source told
E! News about Heard.. “She did what she had to do to protect herself.
It wasn’t an easy decision, but this is the truth. It was very hard for
her.”
Depp’s lawyer issued a statement about the divorce and allegations of abuse.
The courtroom appearance and protective order is Heard’s “[attempt]
to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse,” Depp
attorney Laura Wasser told People magazine.
“Her current application for a temporary restraining order along with
her financial requests appears to be in response to the negative media
attention she received earlier this week after filing for divorce,”
Wasser added. “Yet Johnny cannot protect himself or Amber from media
scrutiny, and Amber’s anger certainly cannot drive this dissolution
proceeding.”
