In a shocking turn of events, the ongoing High Court battle between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has unearthed a disturbing array of allegations including domestic violence, drug abuse, and even scandalous tales of defecation in a bed.
However, if we delve into history, we will discover that this is not the first time a Hollywood marriage has been subjected to public mudslinging.
