Actress Amber Heard will reportedly not file a police report against estranged husband Johnny Depp because she "still loves" him.
The "Magic Mike XXL" star's lawyers announced earlier this week she would officially make a complaint about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of Depp, but sources claim she has now had a change of heart, reports tmz.com.
Sources said the 30-year-old actress "still loves" the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star and "doesn't want to bury him" with the allegations. If the sources are anything to go by, she wants to refrain from making a police report as she feels it would trigger an arrest and subsequent prosecution.
However, sources close to the 52-year-old Depp have dismissed Amber's apparent sympathy, insisting she deliberately timed her allegations to co-incide with the release of his new movie "Alice Through the Looking Glass", which has tanked at the box office, taking just $65 million internationally on its opening weekend, a figure even lower than was projected just for US sales.
