Heard, who married Depp in February 2015, filed for divorce on Monday, claiming irreconcilable differences. The filing came just days after the death of Depp’s mother.
TMZ reports that Heard claims she suffered repeated domestic violence. The actress claims that the photo with the bruised eye was taken after Depp attacked her on the evening of May 21. Heard says that Depp smashed his phone into her face and smashed a number of objects.

Heard claims that she was on the phone with a friend and asked her friend to call the police after the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star grabbed her phone, TMZ reports. The friend did so, the actress said, but Depp had allegedly already left by the time police arrived.
Heard claims that the actor offered her hush money, according to TMZ.
A spokesperson for Depp has not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment on Heard’s domestic violence claim.
In a statement released Thursday, Depp’s spokesperson said that the actor would not respond to “salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life.”
“Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life,” the statement reads. “Hopefully the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly.”
The filing comes on the day Depp’s latest film, the “Alice in Wonderland” sequel “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” arrives in theaters.
Depp and Heard co-starred in the 2011 film “the Rum Diary” inspired by the novel by Hunter S. Thompson.
Johnny Depp's Many Movie Faces: From Jack Sparrow to the Mad Hatter (Photos)
There are few actors in Hollywood today who have spent as many hours in the makeup and hair trailer as Johnny Depp. He's taken on so many roles that require heavy work on his face that he has taken to sleeping in full makeup instead of having it redone every morning. Here's some of the most outlandish looks Depp has sported onscreen.
Depp's first makeup-intensive role came in 1990 with "Edward Scissorhands," which earned him a Golden Globe nomination. Stan Winston, the VFX artist who designed the hands Depp wore in the film, got an Oscar nomination for his work.
20th Century Fox
A decade later, Depp played two roles in the LGBT drama "Before Night Falls." One was as the military officer Lt. Victor. The other was the flamboyant transvestite Bon Bon, who struts and poses his way through Fidel Castro's prison filled with political dissidents.

Depp's famous performance as Raoul Duke in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" didn't require much makeup, but Depp did have Hunter S. Thompson shave his head to match the writer's male pattern baldness.
Universal
Undoubtedly, Depp's most famous role is Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, which earned him his first Oscar nomination. The film also received a nomination for the makeup work that gave Sparrow his tanned, sea-weathered look.
Disney
Depp's makeup took a turn for the gross in 2004 with "The Libertine." In it, he plays the cocky, womanizing Earl of Rochester, who finds his pride and life cut down quickly when he contracts syphilis, for which Depp wore increasing levels of makeup to show the disease's effects.
The Weinstein Company
For his polarizing performance as Willy Wonka in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Depp took on a pale, almost plastic appearance to emphasize the candy maker's reclusive, eccentric nature after spending years cut off from the world in his factory.
Warner Bros.
Depp got his third Oscar nomination from his performance as Sweeney Todd, where he took on a deathly pale complexion and swept-back hairstyle as he slit throats as the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Depp was the center of controversy when he played the Native American Tonto in "The Lone Ranger," but the film did get an Oscar nomination for the makeup work that gave Tonto his intricate face paint and headdress.
Disney
He was better received in the film "Into The Woods," where he played the Big Bad Wolf with a costume inspired by Tex Avery's famous cartoons.

To play the infamous Boston gangster Whitey Bulger in "Black Mass," Depp went through over two hours of makeup to get his gaunt face and slicked-back hair.
Warner Bros.
Arguably Depp's creepiest makeup job came when he mocked Donald Trump in a parody video for Funny or Die ... though it wasn't as creepy as the video that showed him removing all that makeup from his face.
Funny or Die
Now Depp is returning to his role as the Mad Hatter in "Alice Through the Looking Glass," which he first played back in 2010. Depp turned up the ridiculousness with this role, sporting clown makeup, colored contacts, crazy wigs, eyebrow extensions, elaborate outfits, and of course, the 10/6 top hat.
