More About The Lawsuit Involving Johnny Depp And Amber Heard
The trial began on April 12th, and it is the 2nd lawsuit concerning abuse charges related to the actors’ previous relationship, after Depp’s loss of a lawsuit against The Sun last year over the paper’s labelling him a “wife-beater.”
Let me tell you that Depp is suing his ex-wife, Amber Heard, for $50 million (£40 million) for an op-ed she published in The Washington Post in 2018, in which she portrayed herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
Although Heard did not identify Depp in the piece, he alleges that it has lost him playing jobs. In response to this, she has defended her counter-suing him for $100 million, alleging Depp defamed her by referring to her accusations as “fake” and a “sexual violence hoax” by his legal team.
Both parties accuse the other of being physically aggressive during their marriage, which lasted from 2015 to 2017. They each refute each other’s assertions.
When will the case end?
The trial was supposed to end on Thursday, May 19th, but it was postponed until Monday since there is still a huge amount of evidence to be produced. It will now conclude on May 27th, following which the jury will deliberate.
They’ll determine whether Heard defamed Depp in the 2018 Washington Post story at the centre of the case on the balance of probabilities.
Trial Timing
From Mondays to Tuesdays, the court starts its session from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It means that the hearing of the case will start at 2:00 p.m. and ends at 10:00 p.m. as per United Kingdom’s timing.
