Johnny Depp’s $50 million Defamation closing arguments against ex-wife Amber Heard kicked off on Friday after six weeks of trial proceedings. Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she wrote about her experience with domestic abuse. Heard has filed a $100 million defamation countersuit against Depp in 2020, which is ongoing.
Depp sued Heard for $50 million in Virginia’s Fairfax County Circuit Court in December 2018. Johnny Depp’s lawyers asked a jury Friday “to give Mr. Depp his life back” by finding his ex-wife, Amber Heard, guilty of libel.
Camille Vasquez told the jury in closing arguments that Heard “ruined his life by falsely telling the world she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp.”
“There is an abuser in this courtroom, but it is not Mr. Depp,” Vasquez said.
The trial has extended over six weeks. it has become sensational among people. With a live broadcast in the courtroom, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is now the topic.
