Well if this isn't the pot calling the kettle a domestic abuser?!
Turns out that Amber Heard, you know the one who claims she was attacked by Johnny Depp, was once arrested for domestic violence against her then-domestic partner Tasya van Ree, reports TMZ.
According to the site, Amber and Tasya got in an argument at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on September 14, 2009. According to authorities, the Rum Diary actress allegedly grabbed and struck Tasya in the arm, which is what caused the arrest.
Amber, whose mug shot was taken at the time, was then booked for misdemeanor domestic violence. The 30-year-old actress appeared in court the following day.
The outlet is also reporting that the prosecutor declined to move forward with the case because both of the women lives in California, not Washington, where the incident occurred. Apparently, the judge told Amber she may not be off the hook … yet, and that the prosecutors could refile the charges within two years, given the statute of limitations.
Amber's lawyer has not commented.
If this isn't an interesting twist -- we don't know what is.
Meanwhile, there is one person who is coming to Amber's defense -- her friend iO Tillet Wright, who has spoken out claiming that she saw the evidence of physical abuse after the alleged iPhone attack on May 21. The artist and TV host took to Twitter to slam TMZ's reports that
two concierges from her apartment building she shared with Depp denied any evidence of facial bruising.
Wright wrote on Twitter, "I've had enough. I saw the bruises. Many times. And the fat lip. And the cut head."
She went on, "How much evidence does a woman need to present?! She has photos, texts, witnesses, and filed a restraining order. This culture of victim blaming makes me sick. I'm a witness. I'm here. I'm standing up. I can't take any more of this witch hunt. I was on the f--king phone when he hit her. I HEARD HER SCREAM. I will testify. Here and in court. Under oath. WHAT ELSE DOES A WOMAN NEED?"
The drama does not stop with this story ...
