Johnny Depp sues ex-wife Amber Heard, claiming her allegations of abuse were false

They were once one of Hollywood's hottest couples, but the 15-month marriage between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has since been marred by allegations of domestic abuse.

Now, almost three years since their bitter divorce was settled, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star is taking legal action against his ex-wife, claiming in a new lawsuit that Heard defamed him and that her false allegations of abuse cost him coveted roles and damaged his career.


While Heard never identifies Depp by name in the op-ed, she refers to herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse."

Four days after the op-ed was published, Depp was dropped from his "Pirates" role as Captain Jack Sparrow, a franchise he's led for 15 years, the lawsuit stated.

Legal analyst Areva Martin told ABC News that even if Heard didn't name Depp, "If there are enough indicators that the person she was making reference to is Johnny Depp, that would be sufficient for his lawsuit to move forward."


In 2016, photos of Heard with a bruised face emerged in People magazine.

In court documents, lawyers for Depp write that the implication that Depp is a domestic abuser is "categorically and demonstrably false."

"Mr. Depp never abused Ms. Heard. Her allegations against him were false when they were made in 2016," the suit stated. "They were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Ms. Heard and advance her career."

Depp's suit seeks compensatory damages of $50 million.

Heard's attorney, Eric M. George, told ABC News in a statement that, "This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard, She will not be silenced.”

The statement continued: "Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior. But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self-destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team."

Depp's attorney fired back, claiming in a statement to ABC News Heard has "admitted under oath to violently assaulting Mr. Depp," and that she's "used her hoax" about domestic violence to to become a "leader of the Me Too movement"

Adam Waldman, Depp's attorney, said if the Depp's complaint is "'frivolous,'" when will they present any evidence to contradict 87 newly discovered surveillance videos, 17 sworn eyewitness statements, audio tape, photographs, and other evidence? We look forward to seeing Ms Heard's evidence presented transparently in at least two court cases."

Yahoo is now part of Oath

It's interesting seeing him fight back, cuz she definitely fukked up his bag. Amazing how quick these "journalists" who are really activists piled on him in the wake of her allegations. The irony is she actually was arrested for domestic violence after striking her girlfriend and was put in jail for a night. Media doesn't mention that too often though as it doesn't fit their agenda. Women can never be perpetrators, instigators, etc.. Nope, always innocent, always the victim.

It's just like what many people said, this #MeToo movement is going to backfire immensely. Nobody ever believes that men can be victims, only perpetrators. They threw this man to Davy Jones' Locker and assumed this woman was telling the truth, and look at it now, the woman is wicked.

It's like what Denzel Washington said, the media doesn't care about the truth, they just care about being first. People lack critical thinking and are so damn afraid to be ostracized for having their own opinion that they don't think for themselves anymore, they think what everyone else thinks in order to be accepted. Meanwhile somebody's career and reputation is in the toilet.

I'm all for believing victims, but I want to make sure the victims are who they say they are first. There's a reason why investigations are conducted. If something is true, it doesn't need to be manipulated. Cancel culture has got
to go, or at least needs a huge change in how they go about things moving forward.

Good for him



IMO, guys need to bush chicks at the first sign of inconvenience. Relationships should work naturally off of chemistry. Once that starts to go the relationship is over, even if it's just temporary separation.
