One of the messiest Hollywood divorces in recent memory may have just become even more complex.
In a shocking report published today, Star magazine claims that Amber Heard is pregnant with Johnny Depp’s baby.
“Amber would definitely fight tooth and nail to get full custody – and she’d be able to use the child to grab even more money in the divorce settlement,” a source tells the tabloid.
“Johnny can expect things to get a whole lot worse.”
As you probably know by now, Heard was recently granted a restraining order against Depp after claiming the 52-year-old actor was physically abusive to her multiple times over the course of their 15-month marriage.
After high-profile friends of Depp’s publicly expressed their skepticism about Heard’s claims, with comedian Doug Stanhope even going so far as to accuse Heard of blackmail, the actress shot back with mountains of evidence and testimony from one eye witness who claims to have witnessed the abuse firsthand.
Yesterday, photographer and artist iO Tillett Wright, a mutual friend of Depp and Heard’s, revealed that she was the one who called the police on Depp after his alleged attack on Heard on May 21.
In a blog post detailing past incidents of violence, Wright claimed to have come to a battered Heard’s rescue on more than one occasion.
She wrote that occurred in December of last year in which she saw Heard awaken with blood on her pillow after being attacked by Depp the night before.
“I know this because I went to their house,” Wright said.
“I saw the pillow with my own eyes. I saw the busted lip and the clumps of hair on the floor.”
As Star rather obviously points out, “It’d be a terrible situation to bring a baby into.”
Currently, all we have to go on with regard to Heard’s reported pregnancy is the testimony of a pair of “insiders” in a bare-bones tabloid report.
That said, at this point, nothing would surprise with regard to the Heard and Depp’s situation.
We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.
