AMBER IS A LIAR - VANESSA PARADIS DEFENDS JOHNNY DEPP

Johnny Depp's long-term partner and mother of his 2 children is scoffing at Amber Heard's domestic violence claims; insisting Johnny is a loving man who has never been physically abusive to women.

TMZ has obtained a letter from Vanessa Paradis, to refute Heard's domestic violence allegations. Paradis, Johnny's partner from 1998 - 2012, calls him "a sensitive, loving and loved person."

Paradis has 2 kids with Depp (Lily-Rose, 17 and Jack, 14).  She calls Heard's claims "outrageous," adding, "In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years."

Paradis' view of Johnny syncs up with that of his ex-wife Lori Anne Allison, who also said he was never physical with her ... never even screamed.

Heard claims she is the victim of repeated violence, the latest of which was a week ago when she says Johnny smashed an iPhone into her face, bruising her eye. Amber got a temporary restraining order against Depp until a full hearing on the matter can be held next month. Law enforcement sources tell us when cops arrived they saw no evidence of injury.

COPS SAY NO EVIDENCE OF INJURIES:

Amber Heard had no evidence of any injuries when cops came to her home Saturday night after getting a 911 call ... according to LAPD law enforcement sources.

As reported, when cops arrived Amber refused to file a police report. She now claims Johnny hurled a cell phone at her face, badly bruising her eye, but law enforcement sources say they saw no injury at all. In fact, she never alleged any brutality, just that they had an argument.

Sources say she refused to offer any more information, so they left.  

Moreso, sources connected with Johnny say Amber is lying and making up the domestic violence story. One of the things Johnny points to is Instagram where Amber was tagged in a picture showing she was partying with friends Sunday, the day after the alleged attack. The photo was deleted on Friday after the news media spotted it. 

The LAPD says they had no reason to believe Johnny Depp struck Amber Heard with his phone when they were called to the couple's apartment.
