aug 1, 2021 - PAGE SIX Charity to reveal if Amber Heard donated $7M Depp divorce settlement

Description:

Johnny Depp snagged a victory in his court battle against ex-wife Amber Heard that will force a charity to reveal whether the actress lived up to her promises to donate her $7 million divorce settlement.

The “Pirates of Caribbean” star, 58, was granted a partial petition by a judge in New York that ordered the American Civil Liberties Union to release documents to confirm whether Heard, 35, donated the payout from their 2017 divorce, USA Today reported.

“Mr. Depp is most gratified by the Court’s decision,” Depp’s attorney Benjamin Chew the outlet in a statement.

His lawyers have alleged that Heard was lying about donating the entirety of her divorce settlement to the ACLU and to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles — and may have cost him his libel case against a British newspaper in November 2020.

Depp’s attorney Andrew Caldecott argued that Heard’s pledge to the charities was a “calculated and manipulative lie” that “tipped the scales against Mr. Depp from the very beginning.”
