5月23日，“杰克船長”約翰尼-德普的第二任妻子Amber Heard提出離婚申請，并要求對方支付配偶贍養(yǎng)費（spousal support）。

之后，德普也提出了離婚申請，因二人沒有簽訂婚前協(xié)議（prenuptial agreement），所以德普通過律師拒絕了支付配偶贍養(yǎng)費的要求。

Depp and Amber Heard

過了幾天，Amber Heard又向法庭提起訴訟，稱德普對她實施家暴。法庭對德普發(fā)出限制令（restraining order），要求他與Amber Heard至少保持100碼的距離。

對此，德普的女兒Lily-Rose及其母親Vanessa Paradis公開發(fā)聲，表示德普是很有愛的父親，是敏感、溫暖的人，否認其有暴力傾向。

Vanessa Paradis曾與德普交往14年，育有一女一子。

至此，圍觀的網(wǎng)友都被搞暈了，也不知道該相信誰。

先不管這件事最后會如何收場，我們還是跟著外媒的報道先學點英語表達吧。

在申訴中，Heard稱德普在他們交往的四年間一直對她施行言語和身體上的暴力，并表示德普還有藥物濫用問題。

The judge granted a temporary restraining order requiring Johnny to stay 100 yards away from her until a court hearing in June, and gave her sole use of their downtown L.A. apartment, but declined to order any temporary spousal support for her or require Depp to stay away from her dog, Pistol.
法官發(fā)出臨時限制令，要求在6月法庭聽證之前德普要與Heard保持至少100碼（約91米）的距離，準許Heard享受洛杉磯公寓的單獨使用權(quán)，但駁回了其臨時配偶贍養(yǎng)費以及要求德普不得靠近寵物狗Pistol的請求。

Depp's divorce attorney Wasser said Heard's domestic abuse claims are financially motivated.

2011年11月3日，兩人出席共同出演的電影《The Rum Diary》的歐洲首映式。

Amber Heard5月31日正式提交報警證明，稱已分居的丈夫德普對她實施家庭暴力，說她已經(jīng)忍受了“幾年的身體和心理”暴力。

洛杉磯警局發(fā)言人此前曾對媒體表示，5月21日警員在現(xiàn)場并未發(fā)現(xiàn)“任何犯罪行為的證據(jù)”。
