Amber Heard could face three years in prison for falsifying evidence against Johnny Depp
The actor claims that he overheard his ex-wife say that he had "painted bruises" to get a restraining order
The legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues. After the actress assured in 2018 that she had been the victim of physical and verbal violence during her marriage, it seems that now it is she who could end up in prison.
According to the International Business Times, Heard could face up to three years in prison for falsifying evidence against Depp. The performer claimed that she had bruises on her eyes the night before appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2015.
However, Heard's stylist, Samantha McMillen, stated that the actress had no injuries. "During December 16, 2015, I could clearly see that Amber Heard had no visible marks, bruises, cuts or injuries on her face or any other part of her body," she says.
"The California Penal Code declared that it is illegal to alter, modify, plant, place, conceal, manufacture or move any physical evidence with the intention of causing someone to be charged with a crime," the publication notes. "Offering and preparing false evidence are considered serious crimes and carry a maximum penalty of up to three years," she adds. On his side, Depp claims to have heard that his ex-wife had "painted bruises" to get a restraining order.
Both began the divorce process in August 2016, a process that ended in January 2017 with an agreement between the parties. However, in December 2018, Heard wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post in which he discussed the abuse he allegedly suffered during his relationship with Depp, for which the actor filed a defamation lawsuit of $ 50 million. .

At the time, Depp claimed that he had suffered an accident with a door but, judging by the audio, he lied: “Is he in the garbage? How big is the piece you are looking for? And I didn't see anything that looked like meat. I'm looking for like a third of a finger.
