On Tuesday, April 12, 2022, the defamation case of Johnny Depp against Amber Heard, will start. Today the jury was elected. Johnny has accused Heard of indirectly defaming him in a 2018 opinion piece that she wrote for The Washington Post and is suing her for $50m. Amber refers to herself in the article as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” The piece doesn’t name Depp. But his attorneys argue that it clearly references a restraining order that Heard sought in May 2016, right after Depp told her he wanted a divorce.
Johnny denies abusing Amber, but Amber’s lawyers say evidence will prove that he did. The actor’s denials, they argue, lack credibility because he frequently drank and used drugs to the point of blacking out and failing to remember anything he did.
Does anyone have the time to write a summary each day for the time of the defamation case? Drop me a mail!
