This story just keeps getting darker and darker …

Amber Heard has shared new photos of what she claims are the result of an attack on her by estranged husband, Johnny Depp, claiming that these images were from “one severe incident in December 2015 when I truly feared for my life."

The photos show the actress with bruises around her eyes and a bloody lip, following the incident, according to People.

A source told the mag that, ”Johnny and Amber's relationship was always toxic. They got in so many fights."
The newest photos have emerged just days after a Los Angeles judge granted Heard a temporary restraining order again Depp, following claims that he threw a phone at her on May 21 and had been physically and emotionally abusive in their 15-month marriage.

Depp’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, has alleged that despite the claims, Heard "is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse."

Yesterday, Heard's lawyers Samantha F. Spector and her co-counsel Joseph P. Koenig released a new statement in which she explained that Amber is, "simply a victim of domestic violence." The lawyers explained that the reason that the Rum Diary actress did not give a statement to police about the alleged abuse after calling them on May 21 was in order to "protect her privacy and Johnny's career."

The 30-year-old's lawyers went on to say that, "As the result of Amber's decision to decline giving an initial statement to the LAPD, her silence has been used against her by Johnny's team." The statement continues, "Amber did not provide a statement to the LAPD in an attempt to protect her privacy and Johnny's career. Johnny's team has forced Amber to give a statement to the LAPD to set the record straight as to the true facts, as she cannot continue to leave herself open to the vicious false and malicious allegations that have infected the media.”

The media certainly has its hands in this shocking story … in addition to the disturbing photos, new details have also emerged about Heard’s dire financial situation. According to court documents, the actress only makes $10K a month, but is spending an average of $43,700 per month due to her costly expenses.

Heard is seeking $50,000 a month in spousal support, according to Us Weekly.
