Actor Amber Heard’s relationship history was reviewed in a court in the United States on Tuesday. An old allegation that Heard had been violent to his ex-girlfriend was raised.
Heard is in court with her ex-husband, actress Johnny Depp. The ex-couple has sued each other for defamation.
Heard was arrested in 2009 on suspicion of intimate partner violence. Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez cross-examined him on the subject. According to Vasquez, the persimmon police saw Heard beat his then female friend, a photographer Tasya van Reetä arm and snatching his necklace off.

Heard was arrested, but the charges were quickly dropped.
“Johnny Depp isn’t the only partner you’ve beaten,” Vasquez told Heard in the courtroom.
– I haven’t beaten any of my partners. I never beat Mr. Depp or anyone else I’ve been in a romantic relationship with, Heard replied.
The arrest came to public notice in 2016 when TMZ was the first to report on the subject. Shortly afterwards, van Ree issued a statement saying the news coverage was exaggerated.

– In 2009, Amber was wrongly accused of an incident that had been misinterpreted and exaggerated by two people in power, he said in a statement.
– It is sad that Amber’s morality and story have been questioned once again. Amber is a great, honest and beautiful woman and I respect her extremely much. We shared five wonderful years together and we are still close to this day.
Heard and van Ree resigned in 2012.
