The actor is romantically involved with the attorney, who worked on his failed 2018 lawsuit against the Sun — but the relationship isn’t exclusive, per TMZ.
It came out this week that the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star has been romantically involved with Rich, one of the defense attorneys who represented him in his 2018 libel lawsuit against the Sun.
That trial — wherein Depp’s legal team sought to prove the tabloid defamed the star by characterizing him as a “wife beater” — ended in late 2020, with a ruling in the Sun’s favor. The judge presiding over the case had found 12 specific instances of the “Edward Scissorhands” actor’s physical abuse of his ex wife Amber Heard to be “substantially true.”Johnny Depp is reportedly not exclusive with his British lawyer-turned-lady friend Joelle Rich.that said she “seriously questioned” the outcome. Still, she remained hopeful about Depp’s then-upcoming legal proceedings against Heard in the United States.
She anticipated the US trial would reveal “complete, irrefutable evidence of the truth in the U.S. libel case against Ms. Heard where she will have to provide full disclosure.” While it was Depp, 59, who had filed lawsuits instigating both the US and UK legal battles, Heard was obliged to testify about her experiences of abuse during her romantic involvement with Depp from 2012 to 2016.Rich represented Depp in his failed 2018 libel lawsuit against the Sun.Javiles / SL / BACKGRID
