Amber Heard claims that newly released text messages aired during her recent Dateline interview with host Savannah Guthrie are proof of her alleged physical abuse during her relationship with former spouse Johnny Depp.

She told Savannah Guthrie of NBC News that she had a lot of “proof” to disclose that would back up her claims that Depp was physically violent to her during their turbulent relationship.

Text messages purportedly sent by the Aquaman star to her father and therapist were among the files, which she disclosed for the first time.

In one text – dated 16 December 2015 – Heard claims to have texted her therapist saying: “Johnny did a number on me tonight. I’m safe and with my support tonight but I need some real help.”

“Can I come tomorrow? I called earlier because I thought I had a concussion and didn’t know if I should have called the police. But I have a nurse close to me,” the message concludes.

Another message – allegedly sent from Heard to her father in 2014 – describes a violent altercation on an airplane.

“I keep not fighting back. He literally kicked me and called me a [redacted] in front of everyone on the plane. It’s humiliating,” the text reads.

Along with the texts, Heard also unveiled notes that she claims to be from her therapy sessions. “There’s a binder worth of years of notes dating back to 2011 from the very beginning of my relationship that was taken by my doctor to who I was reporting the abuse,” she told Guthrie.

Depp allegedly battered his then-wife, including an explicit reference to a time when he “hit her, threw her on the floor,” according to the therapist’s notes.

The binder of treatment notes was disregarded as “hearsay” by Judge Penney Azcarate, who presided over Depp and Heard’s court case last month. Heard’s lawyers were barred from introducing it as evidence.

Since their second date in Marbella, where Jeff gifted the woman a set of diamond earrings for her birthday, Allana Luke and her fiancé Jeff Winn have been inseparable. She is adamant that their love is genuine.

Allana Luke, who is 23 years old, met Jeff Winn, who is 56 years old, on Tinder in 2020, and before the second date, he was flying her out to Marbella for her birthday.

They confessed their love for one other on this vacation, and Allana moved into Jeff’s 11-bed home in Newcastle shortly after.

Since then, the 56-year-old law firm manager has purchased an Audi TT, a Rolex watch, luxury purses, and several vacations to Barbados and Thailand for Allana.

Despite what some may believe about their relationship, the 23-year-old who works as her partner’s personal assistant claims she isn’t with him for the money.

“There’s no denying Jeff looks much older than me, which can cause people to roll their eyes when they see us,” she explained. 

“They automatically assume I am just another girl after his money.

“I don’t blame them as it would be my first thought too. But I would still be with Jeff even if he lost the house and went bankrupt.”

Their relationship went from strength to strength after their trip to Spain and on 2 June Jeff popped the question. 

Allana has insisted on signing a prenup, adding: “He doesn’t think one is necessary, but I would like him to have peace of mind.”

The 23-year-old gets on well with Jeff’s two grown-up children Nina, also 23, and Josh, 21, and the same goes for his ex-wife. 

“Once people get to know us, they can tell we’re a great match,” she said. “We have the same banter and are always laughing.”

Allana continued: “All of Jeff’s friends have commented on how much happier and healthier he is since I came into his life. It’s refreshing to hear.

“I want people to realize it is OK to have an age-gap relationship – we shouldn’t have to hide the loves of our lives because we are scared of getting judged.”

As for Jeff, he said he was looking for someone ‘who is beautiful on the inside and out’, and he’s found that in Allana. 

“I have dated younger women before and my family didn’t approve,” he explained. “But they all adore Allana because they can see how she positively impacts my life.

“For many years, I was a bit of a naughty boy but I’m so much more relaxed than I used to be.

“I’m quite well-known in Newcastle and young men often high-five me when we are out together.

“But we do get stares when Allana is all dolled up. They are just jealous.”

A 70-year-old woman was slain by an elephant in eastern India, who subsequently returned to her burial to trample her body. According to authorities, the event occurred on Thursday in the state of Odisha.

Maya Murmu was fetching water from a tube well in Raipal village, Mayurbhanj district when the wild elephant emerged out of nowhere.

It had wandered from the Dalma wildlife sanctuary, which is about 200 kilometers from Mayurbhanj, according to authorities.

Ms Murmu was taken to the hospital after being trampled and died from her injuries, according to police officer Lopamudra Nayak, who spoke to the Press Trust of India news agency.

According to reports, as family members gathered for Ms. Murmu’s funeral and were completing final rituals, the same elephant appeared, took Ms. Murmu’s body from the funeral pyre, and trampled it again, as astonished mourners looked on.

Only after the elephant had left was the family able to proceed with the ritual. It’s unknown if the animal hurt anyone else in the vicinity.

Elephant-human conflict is a typical occurrence in Odisha. Human encroachment on animal habitats has risen in the mineral-rich state, increasing the likelihood of confrontations between villagers and elephants.

A troubling trend in the state has been an increase in the frequency of elephant fatalities that are not natural. According to data provided by the state’s chief wildlife warden, at least 1,356 elephants have perished in Odisha since 2000-01, according to the IANS news agency.

In the seven months from April to October last year, at least 42 elephants died in the state.

Many more cases of human-elephant conflict have been reported from across the country.

A woman was killed by a wild elephant in a forest in central Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur district in March of this year. According to authorities, her eight-year-old grandson was hurt while attempting to run away.

A 40-year-old woman was trampled to death by an elephant outside her home near Gudalur, in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, in May.

Shaquille O’Neal continues to show that he is a champion of the people, this time by cooking dinner for a whole restaurant. Shaq was apparently on a date at New York City’s Jue Lan Club when he decided to not only tip his servers lavishly but also pay the entire bill.

Big Shaq, on the other hand, didn’t just treat his date. After what can only be described as a great evening, the basketball player paid for his own meal and then paid for everyone else who ate in the restaurant that night, totaling more than $25,000 in expenses.

The retired athlete, who now works as a sports analyst, is recognized for his charity. Even by his own standards, picking up the tab for a table of strangers is a generous gesture.

Shaq and an unidentified female (whom he referred to as “my date”) arrived at Jue Lan Club at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, according to a source (June 12). Beijing chicken, shrimp tempura, and the restaurant’s trademark chicken satay were among the dishes ordered by the couple.

The 50-year-old didn’t just pay for his own dinner when it came to settling the bill. He also purchased dinner for the entire server staff, as well as the entire restaurant.

“To top that off, he paid for everyone’s check [who was] dining at the restaurant,” the source told Page Six.

While the gesture was extraordinarily generous, Shaq doesn’t appear to be seeking glory or recognition. He was apparently very private about paying for his fellow diners and ordered staff not to tell the 40-plus tables that he had paid for their meals until after he had left the restaurant.

Shaq’s bill was reported “far over $25,000” when it came to the entire cost of everyone’s food. As if that wasn’t enough, the Lakers icon also made sure Jue Lan’s servers were in good hands.

“He left them the biggest tip they’ve ever received,” claimed the source.

The identity of Shaq’s date is the only unsolved mystery. Since divorcing his ex-wife Shaunie in 2011, the actor has been linked to actress Annie Ilonzeh, whom he apparently dated in 2021 – though it is unclear if she was the woman with whom he dined at Jue Lan’s.
