Depp recently filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard, his ex-wife, over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post.

By Sonia Rao Sonia Rao Pop culture reporter Email Bio Follow May 22 at 5:49 PM Former spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are entrenched in another heated legal battle, stemming from an op-ed Heard wrote for The Washington Post last year about being a public survivor of abuse.
The proceedings played out publicly over the next few months, with tabloids publishing several videos and photographs related to Heard’s allegations. Court documents detailed, among others, an instance of domestic violence that Heard said took place two days before she filed for divorce. “Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain,” they continued. “There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm. Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future.”
“Two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out,” Heard wrote. “Friends and advisers told me I would never again work as an actress — that I would be blacklisted. A movie I was attached to recast my role. I had just shot a two-year campaign as the face of a global fashion brand, and the company dropped me. . . .
Waldman also clarified that the lawsuit was filed in Fairfax County instead of Los Angeles County, where both Depp and Heard reside, because the op-ed was printed at The Post’s plant in Springfield, Va. Heard’s attorney, Eric George, has criticized this decision and argued for the litigation to take place in California, where much of the alleged abuse took place.
Regarding the heavily publicized 911 call from May 2016, Heard wrote that she was “afraid to give the police a statement that would create an international media incident.”On Monday, Depp filed an opposition to Heard’s motion to dismiss the defamation lawsuit. His team argued that the litigation would have to take place in Virginia because of a law there that requires libel claims to be sorted out in the “place of publication” rather than the “place of harm” .
