Stanhope wrote last week that Heard had manipulated Depp for years,
and that Heard had blackmailed him with threats of going to the press
with allegations of abuse.
“Amber was now going to leave him, threatening to lie about him
publicly in any and every possible duplicitous way if he didn’t agree to
her terms,” Stanhope wrote.
Heard has accused of Depp of domestic violence and bore bruises on the right side of her face when she was in court last week.
Representatives for Depp say that Heard is faking her abuse to gain
favorable terms in the divorce proceedings. Heard has asked for $50,000
per month in spousal support, as well as access to their downtown L.A.
home.
“Stanhope is a close friend of Johnny Depp and, as part of a
coordinated effort, wrote a highly defamatory article about Ms. Heard,
filled with completely false, highly defamatory and very hurtful
statements,” said Heard’s attorney, Charles Harder, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Depp’s former partners have come in defense of the actor, calling the
accusations by Heard outrageous and out of character with the person
they knew.
“In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically
abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14
wonderful years,” Vanessa Paradis wrote, in a letter published by TMZ.
