In the series opener, "Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: Irreconcilable Differences," the explosive relationship between Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp and then up-and-coming star Amber Heard was a dream come true for tabloids across the globe but after only a year of a stormy marriage allegations of abuse surface. Evidence of the couple's violent fights were quickly made public in the form of video, photos and text messages. Their unusual, short-lived marriage is chock full of controversy and Depp's jealousy emerges throughout the relationship and is made worse by Heard's admitted bisexuality, meaning Depp becomes jealous of both men and women in Heard's life. Their year-long marriage was a constant focus of the tabloids and the frenzy reached a fever pitch when Heard filed for divorce in April 2016 citing verbal and physical abuse. Photos of Heard in court with a black eye, explosive text messages and a damming video of an out-of-control Depp made for a public relations nightmare and even the couple's eventual settlement raised eyebrows -- and controversy.
