As Amber Heard files for divorce and seeks alimony, a look back at her bisexual love-life, and the warning about her 'trailer park' angry streak Johnny Depp failed to heed

Amber Heard looked poised and relaxed as she was photographed jetting into Los Angeles last week.

But less than a week later she filed for divorce from her husband of 15 months Johnny Depp, just days after the death of his mother, Betty Sue Palmer.

With no pre-nup to protect the $400million in assets the 52-year-old built up over a lifetime in showbusiness, he is facing an expensive court battle - with his estranged wife asking for spousal support.

Perhaps Johnny should have listened to Amber herself, who issued a barely disguised warning to her husband-to-be back in 2014.

Already romancing the A-lister, she told W magazine: 'Whenever my old friends meet someone I’m involved with romantically, they immediately warn them: "She may look refined, but when she’s angry, she can go trailer park really fast."'

Even before she became Mrs Johnny Depp, Amber Heard's love life was already making headlines.

The actress publicly came out at as bisexual in 2010, while attending a GLAAD event with her partner at the time, Tasya van Ree.

The two women enjoyed a passionate four-year-relationship - with their romance flourishing even as Amber charmed Johnny on the set of The Rum Diary in 2009.

'You can’t respect yourself if you’re afraid to be who you are,' Amber insisted in an interview with Woman's Health, as she aggressively urged other Hollywood stars to come out of the closet.

'It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing,' she said.

And, she added: I’m with who I’m with, I love who I love. I think that the injustice of people staying in the closet is more than I can bear with a clear conscience and I couldn’t sleep at night if I was a part of that problem, if I was part of the lies.

'I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something you’re inadvertently admitting it’s wrong. I don’t feel like I’m wrong. I don’t feel like millions of people are wrong because they love who they love or they were born how they were born.'

Close: Amber and Tasya remained friends after their split; they are seen in a 2011 file picture

Indeed even after Amber split from Tasya in 2011 the two women were frequently pictured together.

Amber was then seen multiple times with beautiful French model Marie de Villepin, although the two never commented on reports of a romance.

But, as Amber and Johnny embarked on a lengthy promotional tour for The Rum Diary in 2011, the older actor doggedly pursued the younger beauty.

In the months since filming ended he had split from long-term love Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his two teenage children.

The Danish Girl star Amber nicknamed Johnny Tonto, the character he portrayed in his expensive flop The Lone Ranger.

Then in late 2012, shortly after Johnny's split from Vanessa made headlines, he confirmed his new relationship.

Amber and Johnny wed in February 2015, in a small ceremony at their Los Angeles home, despite reports that their relationship was already in trouble.

In May Amber jetted to Australia to visit her husband on the set of his Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales movie.

As always she brought along her two dogs, Pistol and Boo. But the actress had not applied for permission to bring the animals into the country - a mistake that saw the couple forced to make a cringeworthy grovelling apology video in order to escape a jail term.

When asked last year about rumours of marital strife, Amber told the U.S. edition of Marie Claire magazine: 'I try not to react to the horrible misrepresentation of our lives, but it is strange and hard.'

Amber grew up in small town Texas, leaving school at just 16, because, as she later admitted, she was 'bored'.

The Paranoia star then travelled the world when she was 17 because she was desperate to get out of the 'deeply conservative Southern ideals' of her rural upbringing, and she was delighted to escape to Los Angeles, where she felt able to express her personality.

She explained: 'Texas wasn't the ideal place to express individualism. I was always told what a woman should be. I realised I was alone, that I didn't belong there. I felt like I was dying creatively.

'I craved a place where I could express myself. By the time I got to LA, I knew nobody, had no money, I could carry all my possessions on my back.

'When I think of it now, it seems scary. But I loved it. I had no responsibilities, and I felt incredibly liberated. That was 10 years ago.'

Set to wed: The couple, seen in January last year, were already rumoured to be having relationship issues when they married in February 2015

Australian authorities threaten to kill Johnny and Amber's dogs.

The pair failed to adhere to quarantine laws and instead 'snuck' the pooches in on a private jet. The next day, Depp jets the two pet dogs back to the US.

JUNE 2015

Amber describes herself as 'fiercely independent.' When asked about married life, she tells Elle magazine: 'Nothing is a dramatic change. We've been together for a long time now, so it's been a fairly organic process. I have a fiercely independent spirit. I fall in love [with Johnny] again and again.' She added: 'We have a fairly normal, um [relationship]. I guess, we do our best. He has his life, and I have mine, and our challenge is to be able to find time to be together. We're very happy. Very.'
