Almost three years after news of the breakdown of The Pirates of the Caribbean star’s marriage to Amber Heard hit the public record, Depp is now suing his ex-wife and Aquaman star for $50 million for defamation.
“Ms. Heard is not a victim of domestic abuse, she is a perpetrator,” says the suit in reaction to an op-end the actress penned for The Washington Post in mid-December last year.
“I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse,” Heard said in the “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change” entitled Post piece, which never actually mentioned Depp by name but clearly didn’t have to – at not for this lawsuit.
“Mr. Depp never abused Ms. Heard, the compensatory damages and punitive damages seeking complaint from the actor goes on to say. “Her allegations against him were false when they were made in 2016,” it adds in reference to the claims that Heard made in the couple’s short-lived union. A marriage that ended with a temporary restraining order against Depp and later a $7 million settlement, that Heard donated to charity.
Having long since denied the abuse allegations, the Hollywood Vampires guitarist clearly now thinks there was more going on.
“They were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Ms. Heard and advance her career,” today’s lawsuit postulates of the allegations of Depp’s violent misconduct.
“This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard,” the actress’ attorney Eric M. George told Deadline. “She will not be silenced.”
“Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior, the Browne George Ross LLP partner added. “But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team.”
Representatives for Depp did not respond to request for comment on the filing.
However, if their past legal entanglements are any indication, expect the ambassador on women’s rights at the American Civil Liberties Union to not enter her own POV into the docket soon.
This latest suit comes against the backdrop of Depp still battling it out on several other legal fronts. Despite a big win last summer, one of those battles include a $30 million malpractice action against the actor’s ex-attorneys at Bloom Hergott Diemer Rosenthal LaViolette Feldman Schenkman & Goodman LLP.
catfight!
It’s not the ‘90’s. She’s on the wrong side of history if she prefers “Springer Life” to actual maturity. Life is too short to be that stupid for very long.
Good Lord, that is haute skank couture if I have ever seen it.
There are no institutions that protect men accused of abuse.
There are plenty that protect women accused of afuse, and those that are still abusing.
I had read somewhere that Depp was blowing through $2 million a month when he was on top.
Heard is a pagan reprobate. Depp is a dissipated and degenerate creep. A match made for Hell.
I remember a reporter asking Sir Paul a question on the steps of the courthouse, after the final divorce hearing.
“Sir Paul, given what you’ve been through, do you think you will ever go down on one-knee, again?”
Sir Paul replied, “Not very likely....... ... and I prefer you call her Paula.
Read my 26. I am not being misogynistic; I am calling it as I see it. Heard is a flagrantly self-professed “bisexual” (read: bierotic). I do not seriously doubt Depp’s abusiveness, but she chose him because they are both degenerate.
Cultural tolerance of - and preference for - such people is literally disenfranchising conservatives from the public sphere. It is therefore a serious matter.
I have seen you and others making this accusation more and more. You are too eager to do so. “All” are not taking his side, as you falsely asserted.
For the record, while working as church staff, I sacrificed two years of my life and my nascent ministry there to stop spousal abuse of a lone woman whose plight was being ignored by the 300 parishioners and the rest of the staff.
As someone who has championed women, and paid a personal price for doing so, I am getting more than slightly tired of this categorical assertion by you and certain others.
Cite specific statements from specific persons, seek verification, and report them for abuse if warranted, but refrain from these blanket accusations. Doing so is misandristic. (See how that works? Shoe, meet other foot.)
Johnny Depp always looks like he needs a long shower with lots of soap.
Sorry - I certainly didn’t mean to accuse any one person, certainly not you. I just scrolled down feeling most taking Depp’s side and spewed out my little complaint. I do not know the woman and at least I did admit to that. I do assume Depp was abusive and I still do.
