I’ve never been a fan of Amber Heard, but this is wow…
Johnny Depp may have lost his libel case against UK paper The Sun for labeling him a “wife beater” — but the fight to clear his name is far from over.
In the US he is suing ex-wife Amber Heard directly for defamation. At the center of the lawsuit is the Aquaman star’s 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she describes an abusive relationship, as well as the retaliation against her after the divorce. While the essay never mentions the ex by name, it is pretty obvious who she’s talking about — and Johnny is claiming he did not commit the acts of domestic violence she described. That would indeed make the op-ed defamatory, if he can prove his innocence.
To that end he and his legal team are trying everything to find any evidence that might exculpate the Pirates of the Caribbean star — or to prove Amber is lying.
Thus far we’ve heard audio in which Amber admits to hitting Johnny and taunts him that no one will believe him. We’ve heard from women claiming Amber listened to their stories of assault — and that some of her story was suspiciously similar to theirs.
But this is definitely one of the biggest bombshells so far…
That powerful personal essay? Where Amber talks about the trauma she faced after speaking up about her abuse? SHE MAY NOT HAVE WRITTEN IT!
OK, so remember that charitable donation Amber said she’d make? $7 million to Children’s Hospital LA and the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union)?? Johnny’s team believes those donations were never actually made after the Children’s Hospital claimed they never got their promised funds. So he’s now suing the ACLU to find out if she really did donate the money to them (or if her billionaire ex Elon Musk did instead).
And according to uncovered emails from the organization, shown to DailyMail.com, it seems the op-ed was not Amber’s idea.
