Shocking 911 call about Johnny Depp, Amber Heard's infamous fight leaked online: 'Send somebody up there please!'
An anonymous 911 call, that was reportedly made on the night that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard had an explosive fight, has now emerged for the first time.
The recording had been left buried in legal files for almost four years until it recently resurfaced. The tapes raise new questions regarding the formerly married couple's massive and infamous clash, Daily Mail reports.
The caller begins with "Hi, I need to report an assault right now happening at 849 Broadway at the Eastern building, it's penthouse three," referring to the apartment that Depp and Heard had earlier shared in downtown LA.

While refusing to identify themselves, the caller explained that a friend named Amber is being attacked by a man who has been described as just her "boyfriend."
"I happen to know that it's happening and I just need to remain anonymous," the caller says.
"So what did she say that this guy assaulted her or hit her?" the LAPD officer then asks the caller and explains that she needs some more details. "Physically assaulting her, yeah," the caller says while starting to get annoyed and agitated. "Send somebody up there please," the caller says.
The call has the timestamp 8:27:27pm on Saturday, May 21, 2016, and is placed when Heard claims that Depp flew into a rage and threw a cellphone at her face. Heard also claims that he tore out clumps of her hair.
Heard had claimed that her friend Wright had called 911 as the two had been talking on the phone when Depp allegedly attacked her. She also said Wright heard their argument over the phone and she had told Wright to call 911 before their phone call ended. According to Depp's legal team, Wright's call was not registered till 10:09 p.m., an hour and a half post the alleged attack.
Depp's lawyer Adam Waldman said, "Quite simply this was an ambush, a hoax. They set Mr Depp up by calling the cops but the first attempt didn't do the trick. The officers came to the penthouses, thoroughly searched and interviewed, and left after seeing no damage to face or property. So Amber and her friends spilled a little wine and roughed the place up, got their stories straight under the direction of a lawyer and publicist, and then placed a second call to 911," IBTimes reports.
According to Heard's attorney, phone records and police department logs show her account of the final fight and the domestic violence she had endured before she filed for the divorce. However, Depp's legal team say that the recording shows the exact opposite and raises discrepancies in the accounts Heard and her team had given.
His attorney also questioned the identity of the anonymous caller and said that the female voice on the clip doesn't belong to iO Tillet Wright, a trans activist who has been a close friend of Heard. Wright went on record to reveal his identity as the caller.
Depp continues to hold his ground and claims that he had never laid a finger on his former wife. The ex-couple are currently fighting it out in courts after Heard's tell-all letter she had written about her experience as a domestic violence survivor.
On the other hand, Depp had come out with his own allegations against Heard. A tape also surfaced to reveal that Heard had assaulted Depp. We had earlier reported that Heard could easily face up to three years in prison if she is found guilty of manipulating or faking evidence against her former husband.
An example would be one incident where Heard claimed that Depp had given her two black eyes while the two were arguing. She had said that the incident had taken place on the night before she had made an appearance on 'The Late Show with James Corden' in 2015.
According to court documents that were obtained by the Blast, Heard's stylist Samantha McMillen had denied her claims as she had been with Heard during those days and insisted that she had no bruises. "Throughout the day of December 16, 2015, I could see clearly that Amber Heard did not have any visible marks, bruises, cuts, or injuries to her face or any other part of her body," McMillen revealed.
Heard and Depp met on the sets of 'The Rum Diary' in 2009 but started dating in 2012. They got married three years later in 2015 though they ended up getting divorced a year later.
