Amber Heard filed for divorce two days after Johnny Depp’s mother died

OHMYGOSSIP – Johnny Depp’s mother died just two days before his wife Amber Heard filed for divorce after less than a year of marriage. Betty Sue Palmer, 81, passed away on Friday (20.05.16) in Los Angeles after a long illness, according to Entertainment Tonight and it was previously revealed that Johnny and Amber wed during a civil ceremony at their home in Los Angeles before their 2015 marriage in the Bahamas as Betty was too frail to travel at the time.

A source previously said: “She is too frail to travel, so he and Amber got married in LA for her. Johnny convinced Amber to have a small ceremony at their LA home.”

Johnny was so close to his mother that he had a tattoo of her name inside a heart on his left arm and bought her a $1 million 43-acre Kentucky farm in 1995.

Meanwhile, Johnny often spoke about his mother in interviews and her advice to him on how to stand up to bullies.

He said: “She’d come from nothing but hillbillies and she said, ‘OK, here’s the deal. Next time anybody puts their hands on you, pick up a brick and lay them out’. And I’ve taken that advice ever since.”

And he also opened up about her difficult upbringing, saying: “My mother was raised in a shack, in the wilds of Appalachia, where the toilet was an outhouse. She used to say she did the same things that her mom did – and her mom certainly didn’t know any better. With my kids, they’re told 75 times a day that they’re loved. One thing I know is they feel loved and secure and happy and needed and necessary and a part of something.”
