That’s what the two lawyers for the former Pirates of the Caribbean said. According to Depp, the “moral victory” was enough in a process that was followed live around the world
Johnny Depp ‘cannot claim the $8 million owed to him by Amber Heard’ following the final verdict in the actor’s favor in the lawsuit in which he turned against his ex-wife. This was stated by the lawyers of the former Pirates of the Caribbean on the famous US television show “Good Morning America”. Attorneys Camille Vasquez and Benjamin Chew said the star “could waive Heard’s $8 million in damages.” As the two emphasized, the moral victory in a process that was followed live worldwide seems to have been enough for the star, in compliance with professional secrecy between lawyer and client. “Johnny feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulder. He hasn’t smiled like that in six years,” Vasquez and Chew added.
According to the two lawyers, Heard did not convince the jury “because unlike Johnny, who also spoke candidly about his problems with alcohol and drugs, she did not take responsibility for anything”. In short: “It wasn’t about money for Mr. Depp – Chew told Good Morning America, it was about restoring his reputation – and it was. It was a total win for Johnny ». Pending televised interviews with the actor’s attorneys, Heard’s team released their statement. “It’s as uncomfortable as it is unprofessional that Johnny Depp’s legal team decided to make a round of victorious declarations because it turned back decades how women can be treated in the courtroom,” Heard’s rep told the New York Post. What will be the next step? A movie store and related merchandising? ».
