Amber Heard's lawyers accuse Johnny Depp of sexual assault in new accusations during the former couple's high-profile defamation trial.
During the ongoing explosive trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, Heard's lawyers accuse the Fantastic Beasts star of sexual assault. Depp is currently suing the Aquaman actress over claims of defamation from an op-ed Heard wrote for The Washington Post back in 2018, in which she claimed she was the victim of domestic abuse.
Heard and Depp were married back in 2015, but they split a year later in a messy divorce that sparked international headlines. Although Heard never explicitly mentioned Depp by name in her op-ed, she left little ambiguity as to whom she was referencing in the piece and created a timeline that lined up with the allegations she first made back in 2016 during the couple's divorce proceedings.
In response to Heard's claims, Depp's lawyers honed in on the timing of the accusations, painting it as simply a weapon to bolster the actress' claims. Highlighting the fact that"Ms. Heard had never made that accusation against Mr. Depp" before, Depp's lawyers put forth that the actress"panicked" when she"realized the seriousness of what she alleged," in reference to her claims of being a victim of domestic abuse.
While this isn't the first time Depp has sued over his former wife's claims of abuse, having lost a libel case in London in 2020 against The Sun labeling him a"wife beater," it surely brings a new twist in the drama. Seven jurors have been selected to hear the case, which is also being televised for the whole world to watch. Regardless of the outcome of the trial, given the high-profile nature of it, sides will be drawn as the world watches the spectacle unfold.
