Media outlets are reporting that Amber Heard was once arrested for domestic violence against her then girlfriend Tasya van Ree.

Just over a week ago the news broke that Amber Heard claimed Johnny Depp had assaulted her. In the week that followed numerous people have had their say on the matter, including people close to both parties. But with news like this, it was likely to put a spotlight on both parties backgrounds and now some alleged stories from Amber’s past have surfaced.

It appears Amber may have been arrested for domestic abuse herself.

According to TMZ, Amber was arrested following an argument with her then girlfriend, Tasya van Ree, at Seattle-Tacoma International on September 14th, 2009. Amber allegedly grabbed and hit Tasya’s arm, which prompted Tasya to have her arrested.
