It’s no secret that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have been locked in an incredibly messy breakup that involves a couple of messy lawsuits that could see either of them spending a large amount of money.
Johnny Depp originally filed a defamation case against Heard back in 2019, wherein Depp alleged that Heard damaged his career due to her op-ed for The Washington Post in 2018.
In the op-ed, Heard wrote about how she was a public figure representing domestic problems. Depp is seeking as much as $50 million in damages as a result of Heard’s alleged defamation. However, Heard turned the tables by filing a counterclaim against Depp and by accusing him of orchestrating a “smear campaign” against her.
She has also come out to publicly declare his defamation lawsuit as a continuation of his problems with her. Heard has asked for $100 million in damages and for immunity from Depp’s claims.
A Messy Ordeal
Heard recently took to Instagram to air out some of her feelings regarding the entire situation.
“I’m going offline for the next several weeks. As you may know, I’ll be in Virginia, where I face my ex-husband Johnny Depp in court. Johnny is suing me for an op-ed I wrote in the Washington Post, in which I recounted my experience of violence and domestic ab*se. I never named him, rather I wrote about the price women pay for speaking out against men in power.”
Heard has rarely opened up about her feud with Depp to the public, and this was a rare show of vulnerability ever since this ordeal started in the first place.
“I continue to pay that price, but hopefully when this case concludes, I can move on and so can Johnny.”
In her post, Heard also confessed that she still “maintains a love” for Johnny and that she hopes that he eventually finds peace after this is all over. Heard concluded her post by expressing her regrets over how everything has turned out and that she’s going to need more support in the coming weeks.
“…it brings me great pain to have to live out the details of our past life together in front of the world. At this time, I recognize the ongoing support I’ve been fortunate to receive throughout these years, and in the coming weeks I will be leaning on it more than ever.”
Damaged Careers
Both Heard’s and Depp’s careers have suffered due to this very public feud. Most notably, Johnny Depp was forced out of WB’s Fantastic Beasts movie franchise, where he played the evil wizard Grindelwald. Mads Mikkelsen has since replaced him.
There are also rumors swirling around about how WB could potentially replace Amber Heard in her role within the Aquaman movie franchise.
Where do you stand on the matter? Are you team Depp or team Heard? It seems a lot like a “he said, she said” kind of situation here, and it’s interesting to see how everything will eventually play out.

Shes still going on about it .. just shows she’s a tramp who knew what she was doing ..
Team Depp 100%
He is innocent!!!
Heard is a sick, manipulative, lying money grubber and attention seeker!! She’s took so much from him. Between his career being effected, loss of a large amount of income. But most of all he has had to go through the emotional trauma from all these lies against him. She should owe him every penny he’s asked for!
Amber Heard has a reputation of being aggressive and attacking Johnny Depp is no surprise. She’s done plenty of damage for both sides and needs to dropped by WB like they did Johnny Depp. It’s so horrible for an accusation of that sort can ruin your career and that’s what Amber was going for.
I’m on neither side. It’s personal crap that the world shouldn’t have to even know about. Typical relationship breakup drama but we know about it simply because they’re famous. I’d be more impressed with them both if they showed some integrity. He should quit drinking and she should shut up.
She is a big fat liar that wants to cover back side. She deserves everything she gets for doing what she did to Johnny. No woman or No Man should be abused and she is a manipulative compulsive liar and a sociopath, that will abuse whoever she believes she can.
She is an opportunist and married Depp for the money and to further her career making herself known. As for Depp when are these actors going to realize that a woman that is much younger than theirselves usually ( with few exceptions like Catherine Zeta Jones) marries them for some sort of gain. Money, position, career and has no problem using said many to get what they want and then reap additional monies in divorce settlements. Boggles the mind!!!
I’m unclear why WB dropped Johnny Depp and not Amber Heard? Sounds a bit unfair. 🙄
