jul 21, 2016 - Johnny Depp files for confidentiality agreement, requests Amber Heard's team keep divorce details private

Description:

FROM NEW YORK DAILY NEWS:
In a bid to protect whatever privacy he has left, Johnny Depp is asking Amber Heard to keep mum moving forward.

The actor will produce financial documents requested by Heard's legal team on the condition a confidentiality agreement is put in place before the information is handed over.
"This case has been extraordinarily public since its inception," the documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight state.

"Every detail of this action has been chronicled by the media and it has become one of the most heavily publicized divorces in recent memory."

Heard, 30, has refused thus far to sign her name on any agreements pertaining to confidentiality during the divorce proceedings.
"The Danish Girl" actress was presented with two different agreements, according to Depp's legal team — neither of which she has signed.
The actor's request comes amid reports Heard allegedly leaked specific provisions from prior settlement communications to at least one media outlet, according to his attorney, Laura Wasser.

"Amber's need for financial information to resolve this case is distinct from the public's appetite for information about celebrity divorces," Depp's legal team states in court documents.

"Amber has inexplicably refused to sign any agreement to maintain confidentiality in this action."

Heard filed a petition to divorce Depp in May and won a temporary restraining order four days later from a Los Angeles judge — alleging the actor had abused her throughout the "entirety" of their four-year relationship.

The "Black Mass" star has yet to address the allegations directly, but court documents show his lawyer argued that his soon to be ex-wife is "attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse."

The actress — who listed her monthly income at $10,000 a month and expenses at $43,700 a month — backtracked on a temporary spousal support request, stating it was being used to "distract and divert the public away from the very serious real issue of domestic violence," the courts documents obtained by ET show.
In June, the exes' legal teams were set to appear in court for a restraining order hearing, but it was pushed forward to a later date in August.

Reports show a settlement may have been the reason for the rescheduling, with the two said to be privately discussing agreements on property settlement, spousal support, and keeping their distance from one another, ET reports.
