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(fèi)（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(fèi)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(shí)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(rèn)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(huì)如何收場，我們還是跟著外媒的報(bào)道先學(xué)點(diǎn)英語表達(dá)吧。

自5月21日的不幸事件之后，Amber再也無法忍受來自公眾對于其人品的無端指責(zé)和信口雌黃。
