Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are in a 50 million dollar defamation trial, which is expected to last for six weeks. Amber claimed that she was the victim of domestic abuse during her marriage with Johnny, but there is no proof that she ever hurt him. Depp has numerous pictures of him with bruises, bloodied, and a severed finger due to Amber’s lies about her husband.
This has changed Johnny’s life and reputation, and fans seem to side with him, not only because they are fans of him but also because he seems like a generally kind person.
The ex-spouses have faced similar trials before, including their first courtroom defamation trial after Amber claimed that she was a victim of domestic violence. Depp sued the parent company of the Sun in Great Britain for defamation, but heard claimed that he was a wife-beater. Johnny lost all the films he was booked to work on and may have already lost his life at that point.
Johnny is seen as a happy-go-lucky, easy-going man, and his behavior has been criticized by the judge. He has been asked about his movies and his career, but the judge has been unable to keep everything casual. The judge’s preference for Amber over Johnny in this trial is frustrating, especially when fans of Johnny are banned from the courtroom.
Depp and his team see this lawsuit as another chance for redemption in the public eye, as he lost friends and his job. They want to prevent the 2018 trial from happening again and hope that Johnny can be free.
