The Iron Man star said that he also faced false allegations in the past and that he knows Johnny for many years. During an appearance on British TV, he recalled his own experience and said, "I know Johnny for many years but I don't know him intimately. All I could say, I was in a situation one time where I was blamed for something I didn't do. It cost me movie jobs for several years and a bad reputation but finally the truth came out after I lost movies and jobs."

Mickey added, "I felt like I died for somebody trying to get chopped down by some gold digger, you know?"

When Piers asked him, "Do you think that's what she was?" Mickey replied, "Absolutely."

Johnny and Amber got married in a secret ceremony at their Los Angeles home in 2015, after dating for several years. Only a year later Amber Heard filed for divorce in 2016 and secured a temporary restraining order against him. She said Johnny had physically abused her during their relationship, and that it happened most often, while he was high on drugs or alcohol.
