As Johnny Depp battles domestic abuse claims with his ex, Amber Heard, Winona Ryder has come to his defense.
She's called them "impossible to believe."

You might know her from Netflix's Stranger Things as Joyce Byers, but back in the day (the '90s), she was somewhat of a big thing.
Her personal life was thriving on all accounts as well.
She was BFFs with fellow Hollywood "It" girl, Gwyneth Paltrow. The two girls even dated BFFs Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, respectively.
Gwyneth reportedly went behind her best friend's back to ask for an audition.
She got the part and, to make the whole situation sting even more, went on to win an Oscar for it.
This included her four-year one with '90s heartthrob, Johnny Depp, who she first met at the 1989 premiere of Great Balls of Fire! in New York.
Winona was 17 at the time and Depp was 26.
“There’s been nothing in my 27 years that’s comparable to the feeling I have with Winona,” he once told People about Ryder.
Well, it looks like this still remains true as Winona has come to the defense of her ex as he battles domestic violence claims made by his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Things didn't last long, though, as Deep soon filed for divorce 15 months later, citing "irreconcilable differences."
However, a week later, Heard filed a domestic violence restraining order against Depp.
"I endured excessive emotional, verbal and physical abuse from Johnny, which has included angry hostile, humiliating and threatening assaults to me whenever I questioned his authority or disagreed with him."
This was against Heard over the op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post.
In it, she called herself a domestic abuse victim.
He also claimed that Heard "violently abused" him, calling her the “perpetrator."
In court files, she said that she was “absolutely shocked, confused and upset” over the allegations that her ex had been violent with Heard.
“The idea that he is an incredibly violent person is the farthest thing from the Johnny I knew and loved," she wrote.
"I knew Johnny very well years ago. We were together as a couple for four years, and I counted him as my best friend, and as close to me as family."
The court process in this case is still ongoing, so we'll keep you updated as this story develops.
