A source told Us Weekly, which first broke the news, “There was no professional obligation for her being there. It was personal.” Rich is married and reportedly in the process of divorcing her husband, with whom she shares two children.

Ryder admitted, “I thought maybe he would be a jerk. I didn’t know. But he was really, really shy.” Ryder was 17 to Depp’s 26 at the time. The couple were inseparable almost immediately and got engaged five months later. Depp said of their whirlwind romance, “I’m being really honest with you when I say that there’s been nothing ever throughout my 27 years that’s comparable to the feeling I have with Winona … It’s like this weird, bounding atom or something. You can think something is the real thing, but it’s different when you feel it. The truth is very powerful. Now I know.” He added, “Believe me, this ‘Winona forever’ tattoo is not something I took lightly … Her eyes kill me.” The couple broke up before making it down the aisle, and Depp eventually altered his “Winona Forever” tattoo to read “Wino Forever.” Depp hinted that media pressure played a role in their split, telling The Los Angeles Times in 1993, “It’s very hard to have a personal life in this town. My relationship with Winona, it was my mistake to be as open as we were, but I thought if we were honest it would destroy that curiosity monster. Instead, it fed it, gave people license to feel they were part of it.” For her part, Ryder recalled to Elle UK (via PEOPLE), “I had just done Dracula and Edward Scissorhands. I had just had my first real break-up, the first heartbreak. I think it was really ironic because, like, everybody else just thought I had everything in the world, you know, I had no reason to be depressed, everything was sort of at its peak, but inside I was completely lost.”

I cannot wrap my head around these accusations. He was never, never violent towards me. He was never, never abusive at all towards me. He has never been violent or abusive towards anybody I have seen. I truly and honestly only know him as a really good man—an incredibly loving, extremely caring guy who was so very protective of me and the people that he loves, and I felt so very, very safe with him. I do not want to call anyone a liar but from my experience of Johnny, it is impossible to believe that such horrific allegations are true. I find it extremely upsetting, knowing him as I do.”
