Hitting out: Amber Heard took to Instagram to reissue the joint statement released during her split from Johnny Depp after JK Rowling defended the actor amid abuse claims

Johnny and Amber split in April last year after 15 months of marriage amid claims of domestic abuse by Depp. They later issued a joint statement which both Warner Brothers and Rowling appeared to call on during their defence of the star.

Despite the use of the statement, Amber seemed insistent that the former couple's words were taken 'out of context' as she reissued the prose.

The full statement read: 'Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gains. There was never an intent of physical or emotional harm.

'Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity.'

Responding: In a note alongside, she wrote: 'For the record, this was our FULL joint statement. To pick and choose certain lines and quote them out of context, is just not right. Women, continue to stand up and stay strong. Love, Amber'

MailOnline has contacted representatives Amber and JK Rowling for comment.

A number of fans had expressed their disappointment that Johnny was to appear as Grindelwald for the forthcoming film Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them after he was accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife Amber last year.

Harry Potter writer Rowling, who writes the spin-off film series, said that those stories 'deeply concerned' her at the time, while Johnny was filming his small part in the first film, and that she and director David Yates did consider recasting the role for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald.

However, she said that, while she understands that not all fans will be satisfied, she is 'genuinely happy' to have Johnny play a leading character.

She wrote in a statement: 'When Johnny Depp was cast as Grindelwald, I thought he'd be wonderful in the role.

'However, around the time of filming his cameo in the first movie, stories had appeared in the press that deeply concerned me and everyone most closely involved in the franchise.

'Harry Potter fans had legitimate questions and concerns about our choice to continue with Johnny Depp in the role. As David Yates, long-time Potter director, has already said, we naturally considered the possibility of recasting.'

She said she understands why 'some have been confused and angry' that Johnny was not recast, and that not being able to speak openly with fans about the issues 'has been difficult, frustrating and at times painful'.

She added: 'However, the agreements that have been put in place to protect the privacy of two people, both of whom have expressed a desire to get on with their lives, must be respected.

'Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies.'

She continued: 'I've loved writing the first two screenplays and I can't wait for fans to see The Crimes Of Grindelwald. I accept that there will be those who are not satisfied with our choice of actor in the title role. However, conscience isn't governable by committee.'

Rowling concluded: 'Within the fictional world and outside it, we all have to do what we believe to be the right thing.'

Warner Bros issued a statement in support of the decision to keep Johnny in the film.
