The lawsuit between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is attracting public attention because of their drama-like reversals.

The noisy divorce case between actor Johnny Depp and his wife Amber Heard is the hottest topic in Hollywood today. The confrontation between the two sides is still going on extremely tense with many shocking new details. However, most notably recently, Amber Heard made a move that was considered unwise before the new trial (the actress took her turn to stand in court to give her stance after Johnny's confession session ended).

As NBC News reported on May 1, Amber Heard stopped working with the media company of Stephanie Cutter - former deputy campaign director of former US President Barack Obama, to shake hands with the new PR team. Worth mentioning, the reason why she made this shocking decision was thought to be thoughtless. Amber Heard fired her former PR team because she was annoyed by the news articles that made her negative in the lawsuit against her ex-husband.

Currently, the actress moved to cooperate with Shane Communications - the company that had a dispute with Depp in 2017. At that time, Johnny Depp sued The Management Group for 25 million USD (574 billion VND). Through Shane Communications, this company countered and said that Depp's side spent uncontrollably when spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy houses, alcohol, cars and luxury habits. However, the case was settled in July 2018.

The decision was made by Heard after the trials were not very smooth when the public was leaning in favor of Johnny Depp. Meanwhile, Amber Heard was boycotted by 2.6 million people, demanding to cut her role in Aquaman 2. So the actress decided to hire a PR team who fought against her ex-husband with the desire to help her turn the tide. in the divorce case of the century.

Testifying in the trial on May 2, Travis McGivern - one of Johnny Depp's bodyguards claimed that Amber Heard was the domestic abuser when there were physical and mental abuses with him. ex-husband.

McGivern recounts the couple's arguments when they returned home in March 2015 from a holiday in Australia, where the scandal resulted in Johnny Depp's finger being severed. According to his description, Amber Heard threw a can of Red Bull at Depp's back, spit on him and then punched him.

The bodyguard added, Heard continued to throw something else at Depp: "A purse, a bag or something she was holding", but eventually the actor "Pirates of the Caribbean" stopped him. can again. That night, the male bodyguard also witnessed Depp get angry and throw Heard's clothes rack down the stairs. However, McGivern insists that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor did not commit any physical violence against his ex-wife.

Recently, on May 3, Johnny Depp officially closed the confession and cross-examination session with the lawyers of both sides in the lawsuit. But according to the latest information from the court, Amber Heard's legal team unexpectedly made a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

It is known that actor Depp sued his wife for $ 50 million (VND 1148 billion), and Amber Heard also sued her ex-husband for $ 100 million (VND 2296 billion). This move of actress Aquaman surprised the public.

On Tuesday, Johnny Depp's legal team, specifically defense attorney Benjamin Chew, reviewed all of the testimony and evidence presented to defend the client's lawsuit and accused Amber Heard of canceling ruined Depp's reputation and career because of false accusations in December 2018 (The actress claimed to have suffered domestic violence but did not mention Johnny Depp's name directly). Lawyer Benjamin Chew asserted that Amber Heard was the one who committed the violent act, not Depp.

The actor ended the confession session and it was Amber Heard's turn to stand in court. However, Amber Heard's lawyer Ben Rottenborn countered that the evidence Depp's side gave was not convincing enough to prove the defamation allegation. After reviewing the evidence, Judge Penney Azcarate dismissed the allegation and insisted the jury will decide whether Heard's writing is indeed defamatory when the case comes to an end.

Back in November 2020, Depp sued the British newspaper The Sun for being called a "wife beater". The court found the newspaper's claims to be substantially true and Amber Heard testified to support the claims. In the end, the actor "Pirates of the Caribbean" lost this UK case.

However, at the same time in 2019, Depp sued his ex-wife for $ 50 million and the trial was adjourned until 2022 because of COVID-19. After that, the jury in Virginia, USA decided to accept this case.

As soon as she heard the news, actress Amber Heard's side suddenly asked the court to dismiss Depp's US lawsuit, saying that the ruling of the UK trial (the case with The Sun newspaper) would affect the prosecution process. litigation in the US (a $50 million lawsuit is ongoing). The reason is that both of these lawsuits focus on allegations that Johnny Depp abused Amber Heard. But in August 2021, Judge Penney Azcarate allowed Depp to pursue the case in the US, denying Heard's additional request. In the end, the legal proceedings between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continued as they are now.
