“JEALOUS” Johnny Depp demanded former wife Amber Heard turn her back on a film with racy nude scenes during their troubled marriage, a new lawsuit claims.

Producers for the unreleased Heard film, London Fields, claim it was Depp who pressured her to refuse to support it.

The producers are suing Heard for $10 million for allegedly refusing to promote the movie and “falsely” claiming “she had not contractually agreed to allow the use of nudity” in it.

Heard’s alleged in a countersuit that producers used a body double to shoot “pornographic” sex scenes and add them in.

In the producers’ response to Heard’s suit they claim, “Heard’s misconduct ... might have resulted, at least in part, from her tumultuous relationship with Mr. Depp, which was ongoing during the filming of London Fields.”

And the producers believe, “The provocative nature of Heard’s femme fatale role in the film was a factor leading to her divorce from Depp.” They claim she had approved the sexy scenes but “reversed course, apparently under perceived or actual pressure from Depp (who, according to Heard, was extremely jealous).”

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp finalised their divorce almost eight months after their split.

Depp also lashed out against Heard over her co-star in the film, Billy Bob Thornton, writing his name in blood on a mirror. The suit says, “Heard has made numerous fantastical accusations against Depp, and reports of her alleged affair with co-star [Thornton] became so pervasive that Thornton issued a public denial.”

Heard countersued producer Christopher Hanley and his wife, Roberta, alleging they used a body double for “an explicit pornographic sex scene.”

Her legal team said: “Desperate people say desperate things. The utter failure of London Fields is due to only one reason: the producers themselves ... Their nefarious moves included illegally adding pornographic scenes with a body double resembling Amber Heard and a striptease scene with the same body double — deceitful moves expressly barred by her contract.”

They added, “No respectable actor would promote this piece of garbage.”

Depp’s rep said: “The dispute between the producers and Amber Heard has nothing to do with Johnny Depp. We are informed that the producers have also been sued by the director and another producer. The statements about Johnny are ridiculous.”
