Is Johnny Depp a monstrous wife-beater or the victim of Amber Heard's abuse?

Depp v Heard: The Unreal Story is the definitive account of Depp and Heard's disastrous relationship and their epic legal battles, written by the only journalist to cover both trials in the UK and US.

Using court documents, witness testimony, and contemporaneous evidence, Nick Wallis has pieced together all the violence, drug-taking, and wild extravagance to reconstruct who did what, where, and when. Nick explains why a UK court decided the abuse allegations against Johnny Depp were substantially true and why a jury in Virginia decided Amber Heard was lying.

The book dives into the online culture war which enveloped this story and investigates some of its more bizarre elements—the poo in the marital bed, the Australian dog-smuggling fiasco, and the night Johnny Depp lost part of his finger. Depp v Heard: The Unreal Story is written in the same thrilling style as Nick's first book, The Great Post Office Scandal; it asks challenging questions about the realities of abuse and how lurid allegations are refracted through the media and the courts.

If you took an interest in either trial and want to know what really happened on the private planes, island retreats, and luxury compounds, this book will guide you through every significant moment of the story, in unflinching detail, all the way to its dramatic conclusion.
