The trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in Virginia begins
The actor is suing his ex-wife for defamation over an editorial in which he spoke of domestic violence, and is seeking $50 million in damages. It will be a new opportunity for him to prove that he did not commit the abuses he is accused of
Today, April 11th, begins Amber Heard defamation trial. Ex-husband Johnny Deep sued her because she wrote an editorial in The Washington Post in 2018 saying she had become a public figure representing domestic violence.
In the editorial in question, Heard didn’t mention Depp, but according to the actor’s lawyers, that very article ruined his career. Hence the demand for mega compensation, right away 50 million dollars
As Variety points out, this trial represents another opportunity for the actor to deny his ex-wife’s allegations of abuse. In recent years, the actor has already sued and lost against the British tabloid Sun, which described him as “gangster husband“Based on this ruling, Heard’s attorneys had attempted to avoid another lawsuit but had failed.
