Some have called for a boycott of Depp's concerts with band Hollywood Vampires and his latest film, Alice Through The Looking Glass.

Others have spoken out in support of Depp, including daughter Lily-Rose and ex Vanessa Paradis. American website The Wrap published a guest column over the weekend by Depp’s friend, the comedian Doug Stanhope, in which he claims Heard is lying and Depp had been “used, manipulated and set up”.

Yesterday (30 May) Heard’s lawyer, Peter Sample, asked The Wrap to retract the column, and damned the allegations as “absolutely and unequivocally false”, saying the piece has “no basis in reality and is nothing but the typical celebrity muckraking for profit. It is highly offensive and disturbing that you would choose to publish it in the first place.”

In a statement, LA police said they had followed up a “domestic incident radio call” on Saturday night, but said there is no ongoing investigation concerning the specific alleged incident as “the person reporting the crime did not insist on a report”.

“On May 21, 2016, officers responded to a domestic incident radio call…” Sgt. Marlon Marrache told People magazine. “The person reporting the crime did not insist on a report and no report was warranted. There was no evidence of any crime. A crime did not occur so the officers left the scene and left a business card.”

People reports that Marrache added that if there had been any signs of abuse, officers would have conducted an investigation, regardless of what Heard said had happened. Depp was not at the residence when the police arrived and it is unclear who made the 911 call.

The next court hearing will take place 17 June.
