The drama between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continued long after their 2016 split — see their ups and downs
's article was not libelous because Heard's allegations were"substantially true." Depp said at the time that he wanted to fight the judgment, but the court later denied him permission to appeal. Shortly after the verdict, Depp exited the third. “I wish to let you know that I have been asked to resign by Warner Bros. from my role as Grindelwald inand I have respected and agreed to that request,” he wrote via Instagram at the time.
In opening statements, Heard's attorney, Ben Rottenborn, claimed that evidence would show that Depp's alleged abuse against his ex-wife"took many forms" over the years, including sexual abuse."You will hear in the most graphic and horrifying terms about the violence that she suffered," the lawyer argued."You'll hear that straight from her. She will get on the stand and she will tell you that. It happened.
Depp, meanwhile, denied the allegations via a spokesperson."These fictitious claims were never made at the onset of Amber's allegations in 2016, and only advantageously surfaced years later once she was sued for defamation after noting in her op-ed that she was a victim of 'sexual violence,'" the rep toldat the time."Words are key in a defamation case and conveniently, this allegation only came after that.
"It's pretty strange when one day you're Cinderella, so to speak, then 0.6 seconds you're Quasimodo. I didn't deserve that, nor did my children, nor did the people who have believed in me for all these years," he stated."I didn't want any of those people to believe that I had done them wrong or lied to them or that I was a fraud. I pride myself on honesty."
Depp explained that he was looking to"clear the record" amid the lengthy legal battle."Never did I myself reach the point of striking Ms. Heard in any way, nor have I ever struck any woman in my life," he said while under oath.Depp concluded his fourth and final day on the stand by stating that he filed the libel suit against Heard because “it was the only time I was able to fight back and use my own voice.
