Johnny Depp wants to "resume the course of his life", his lawyer assured this Friday, on the last day of the proceedings of a lawsuit for defamation that he is bringing against his ex-wife Amber Heard, in front of an American court where were revealed the most scabrous details of a "toxic" relationship between the two actors.
The actor would have "lost everything"
“Six years ago today, on May 27, 2016, Amber Heard walked into court and filed a false domestic violence complaint against her husband of 15 months, Johnny Depp,” said Camille Vasquez.
She "didn't just want the divorce, she wanted to ruin it," she added.
Another of his lawyers, Ben Chew, recalled that "never before Amber Heard had a woman accused Mr. Depp of raising a hand on her in 58 years, and none have done so since".
Johnny Depp "lost everything" and was "removed by Hollywood" after the accusations of his ex-girlfriend, said the lawyer, stressing that the actor "supports and believes in" the Me Too movement, which denounces the violence made to women.
A monster "
The star of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" saga is suing his ex-wife for defamation, who wrote in a column published by the Washington Post in 2018 to be "a public figure representing domestic violence", without naming Johnny Depp.
“She didn't mention it, she didn't have to.
Everyone knew who and what was talking about,” Amber Heard noted Ben Chew.
The actor is seeking $50 million in damages, claiming the stand ruined his career and reputation.
