Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard
Despite a devastating legal loss in the United Kingdom, Hollywood actor Johnny Depp will get a second libel trial to try to show that he didn’t physically abuse his ex-wife Amber Heard. As per reports, Depp, 58, has been allowed to move forward with his defamation lawsuit against Heard. The actor is suing his ex-wife over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed where Heard wrote about surviving domestic violence. Heard never named Depp in the op-ed, but she did accuse the actor of domestic violence amid their 2016 split, which he denied.
In court documents, a Virginia judge granted the actor the right to pursue his lawsuit, denying Heard’s supplemental plea to dismiss the case after Depp lost his UK libel lawsuit against British tabloid The Sun.
