Johnny Depp is suing ex-wife Amber Heard for $50-million, accusing her of libeling him with a 2018 op-ed she wrote describing herself as ‘a public figure representing domestic abuse’
A jury in Virginia is deliberating for a third day in the defamation claims of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
Depp is suing his ex-wife for $50-million, accusing her of libeling him with a 2018 op-ed she wrote describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Heard filed a $100-million counterclaim against the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star after his lawyer called her allegations a hoax. Each accuses the other of destroying their career.
Jurors must decide both claims based on whether or not the statements were made with “actual malice,” meaning they knew what they were saying was false, or were acting with a reckless disregard for the truth.
