Johnny Depp's Lawyers Rip Amber Heard As She Tries To Dismiss His $50 Million Defamation Battle, Her Attorney Reveals Former Couple Have Spent Millions Fighting

by Ryan Naumann

Johnny Depp is going in on his ex-wife Amber Heard after she tries to dismiss his massive lawsuit where he accuses her of committing perjury over claims she donated $7 million to charity.

According to a court transcript obtained by RadarOnline.com, on Friday, Depp and Heard’s lawyers were fighting in Virginia Court for a hearing in the actor’s lawsuit.

The actor is suing Heard over an op-ed in the Washington Post. The article, which never mentioned Depp by name, spoke about sexual violence. In the piece, Heard wrote, “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change”

Depp claims the article tarnished his reputation and cost him work.

Earlier this year, the Pirates of the Caribbean star lost a separate lawsuit against a UK tabloid that labeled him a “wifebeater.” The court ruled Depp didn’t have a case because 12 of the 14 alleged incidents of violence against Heard “had been proven to a civil standard.”

Heard’s lawyer asked the court to allow them to amend their motion to dismiss. They also wanted a stay of discovery in the case. She argued the ruling in the UK court should cause the current case to be dismissed. Her lawyer argued the court determined the tabloid had the right to use the word “wifebeater.” Heard argues she had the right to write the article about the same topic.

Depp’s lawyers fired back arguing the UK case has nothing to do with the Virginia case. The actor’s attorney said Heard was not a party to that case and the statement at issue are different.

He also takes issues with statements Heard made in a declaration submitted to the UK case. In her affidavit, the Aquaman actress said she donated the $7 million she received from Depp in their divorce to the ACLU. Depp says this is a lie.

He says the UK court made their final ruling without knowing the truth about the $7 million. His lawyer wrote,”The court had no way to verify that, and the appellate court, by the way did confirm that that was a falsehood.”

At the end of the hearing, the judge allowed Heard to amend her motion but said it will most likely be “futile.”

Interesting to note, Heard’s lawyer also revealed the parties have both spent millions on the case.
