Johnny Depp is still denying that he’s ever abused ex-wife Amber Heard. As he told British GQ, “The thing that hurt me is being presented as something that you’re really as far away from as you could possibly get.” 

“To harm someone you love? No, it didn’t, it couldn’t even sound like me,” he added.

Amber filed for divorce after over a year of marriage. The filing was in May 2016, and she cited “irreconcilable differences.” The former couple settled their divorce in January 2017, with Johnny agreeing to pay around $7 million.

“Twenty-five feet away from her, how the f–k am I going to hit her? Which, by the way, is the last thing I would’ve done. I might look stupid, but I ain’t f–king stupid,” he said.  

“I could feel people look at me differently,” he said. “I know I was never going to be Cinderella … but it felt like within a very, very short period of time that suddenly this version — for lack of a better word — of Cinderella had been immediately turned into the beast. He’s Quasimodo.”
