Famous and beloved Johnny Depp told the press about his $ 50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard. The lawsuit was first reported on Friday.
It is known that the actress previously accused Depp of domestic tyranny. The statement of claim indicated an allegedly false charge that seriously damaged Depp's career.
“This thoughtless action is the last of the actor’s frequent impulses to silence his wife Amber Heard, ” said Hurd’s lawyers. “We're not going to be silent. Mr. Depp's actions once again show us that he is not able to admit the truth about his ongoing cruel behavior. But while he seems dependent on the idea of self-destruction, we will win this baseless lawsuit and end the ongoing vile persecution of our ward, Mr. Depp and his lawyers. ”
but on the other hand
Hurd described herself as a victim of domestic violence in the Washington Post in December, in which she opposed sexual abuse. In 2016, lawyers learned that she “survived the years of physical and psychological abuse” with Depp. A statement was made in response to a cover guest column written by Depp's friend, Stanhope, who accused Heard of blackmailing Depp.
“I became a public figure representing domestic violence, and felt the full force of our culture’s anger directed at women who dare to tell the truth, ” Hurd wrote for The Post.
Depp's lawsuit specifically draws attention to the above line from the article. While Hurd never refers to Depp by name in a statement, the lawsuit states that the actor is a tyrant and domestic rapist.
