The trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard won’t give us a draw weeks after the verdict. We learned as early as June that the jury ruled in favor of the actor, concluding that his ex-wife had slandered him with the opinion piece she published in the Washington Post. The actress was sentenced to $ 10.35 million, while she earned $ 2 million for being defamed by a member of Depp’s team. Heard’s lawyers have initiated the appeal proceedings. But In recent days, more than 6,000 pages of documents have been released that have not been approved to get to the trialand that include the most outrageous accusations from both sides, which should not surprise us at this point given the media circus that has built up around it.
Amber Heard’s team would attack a metadata analysis of the photos submitted by Johnny Depp, arguing that many of the creation or modification dates do not match the chronology of events, which would show that they have been modified in some way. Same with many of the audio recordings. They also accused the opposing team of trying to highlight photos of the nude actress, as well as wanting to recall the short time she worked as an exotic dancer to discredit her and insinuate that she worked as an escort.
Johnny Depp’s team also tried to avoid damaging his image by demanding that his medical history not be published, only sticking to anything that would have been the result of alleged physical abuse by his ex-wife. In addition to mentioning several medications, such as the one to treat shingles, according to Johnny Depp’s team, Amber Heard had planned to introduce herself as “motivation for abuse” that the actor suffered from erectile dysfunction. The actor’s attorneys also prevented the messages between him and Marilyn Manson from being published or mentioned at the trial, so that he would not be found guilty by association.. In those messages, the singer allegedly said he “has an Amber 2.0”, referring to his wife, Lindsay Usich, and even asked Johnny Depp to welcome him because he believed the police were looking for him. They also prevented him from talking about other pending complaints or his criminal record.
The filming of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge” also occupies an important part of the documents. Tracey Jacobs, who was Johnny Depp’s agent at the time, would admit it Disney folks called him to blame him for his client showing up “drunk and high” at the shooting and “they had no intention of tolerating” that behavior. Another document claims that Amber Heard ignored her lawyers’ recommendation to accept half of Johnny Depp’s earnings for “Pirates of the Caribbean 5,” which would correspond to her because they were still married by that time. We would be talking about over $ 16 million, which the actress turned down to prove the divorce wasn’t for money. And while much of the documents would damage Johnny Depp’s image, there are also parts that wouldn’t help Amber Heard’s image, like a list her team wanted to present with. names of actors and actresses with whom Heard should be able to compare in income and fame were it not for the criticisms leveled by Johnny Depp. Names like Zendaya, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa or Ana de Armas are mentioned in the list. This is clearly not the case.
Amber Heard sells her house
These documents will not change the outcome of the trial and Amber Heard has already had to take steps to raise the necessary funds for the appeal. According to TMZ, The actress allegedly sold her home in Yucca Valley, California for $ 1.05 million. He would have gotten nearly double what he paid in 2019. But he’s still a long way from what is being asked for bail or Johnny Depp’s payment.
