Amber Heard is seeking a restraining order against Johnny Depp.

Amber reportedly told the judge that she filed for divorce on Monday because Johnny hit her with an iPhone two days before, leaving her with a bruised eye, which she showed a picture of in court.

She is said to have claimed that Johnny offered her money to keep quiet about the injury and also included pictures taken at other times she alleges he assaulted her.

Although Johnny is currently away from Los Angeles on promotional duties for his new movie, Amber filed for a temporary restraining order claiming there is "an immediate threat of harm".

Amber's allegations came after Johnny broke his silence on the marriage split, revealing he hoped their union would be terminated "quickly" after Amber filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, just three days after the death of his mother Betty Sue Palmer.

His representative said in a statement: "Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life.

"Hopefully the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly."

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star - who is estimated to be worth around $400 million - is said to have rejected Amber's claim for spousal support.

The pair are not thought to have put a pre-nuptial agreement in place before they wed in February 2015 in Los Angeles, so his mum could attend, followed by another ceremony in the Bahamas.

In the divorce documents, Amber claimed the pair split on May 22, which was two days before Betty passed away.

The former couple met on the set of 2011 film 'The Rum Diary'.

Johnny previously divorced his first wife, make-up artist Lori Anne Allison, in 1985 after just two years of marriage and he split from French actress partner Vanessa Paradis - who he has daughter Lily-Rose, 16, and 13-year-old son Jack with - in 2012 after 14 years together.

Amber was in a three-year relationship with girlfriend Tasya van Ree until 2011.
