In the world of Hollywood, the relationship between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was marked by controversy. The pair, who were married in 2015 and divorced in 2017, were embroiled in allegations of domestic abuse and volatile arguments.

Their tumultuous relationship reached a new height during their delayed honeymoon in Malaysia, where an escalating argument between the couple occurred. The fight at the villa, where Depp was supposed to live for several months to shoot the fifth installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean," caused significant damage, including blood stains on carpets and walls, broken furniture, black paint spots, a hole in the TV, scribbled mirrors, and a bloodstained iPad.

Heard accused Depp of violence, a claim he denied. In the heat of the argument, Depp claimed that Heard had cut off his finger. However, the production company of "Pirates of the Caribbean" claimed that Depp's injury was from a go-kart accident and swept the story under the rug.

The butler found the severed finger of Depp, wrapped in a paper towel, at the bar, but it was too late for a successful reattachment. Depp's injury became apparent in Connolly's apartment, with bones visible and paint residue and dirt in the tissue.

Despite the alleged incident, the couple initially returned to the villa and behaved similarly, but Heard claimed there were violent outbursts in the following months. The specific details of the 2015 finger-cutting incident, however, remain unclear as no reliable source provides a detailed, verified account or confirmation of the event.

The couple's divorce was settled in 2016, with Heard pledging to donate the $7 million settlement to charity. In 2022, they were back in court due to accusations of violence. During negotiations, the finger incident was mentioned, but the court proceedings did not provide further clarification.

In summary, while the couple's relationship was fraught with allegations of abuse and volatile behavior, the available search results do not include direct, confirmed details about any finger-cutting incident in 2015. The incident remains a subject of speculation and debate among fans and media, with no definitive resolution in sight.
