Johnny Depp No Longer Dating Lawyer Joelle Rich
Depp has been linked with several women in the past while he enjoyed a single status. This includes the London-based lawyer Joelle Rich who defended him in his libel trial against The Sun in 2018.
Now, according to a report from People magazine, the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean‘ star and the 37-year-old lawyer have called it quits. The reason for their split is not known as of now.
However, the couple was never serious about their relationship in the first place. They managed to keep things private before they made them public.
She had also attended Depp’s defamation trial against Amber Heard as an audience. After news broke, photos surfaced of them sharing glances and smiles with each other inside the courtroom.
Depp Appeals To Heard’s $2 Million Trial Win
Depp has appealed to Heard‘s counterclaim win during their highly publicized defamation case. He submitted a 44-page appellate brief that details the entire cause.
The brief read, “the trial court was confronted with a number of novel and complex legal and factual issues, and although the trial court decided the vast majority of those issues sensibly and correctly, a few rulings were erroneous.”
It adds, “As a matter of law, Mr. Waldman is an independent contractor, whose allegedly tortious conduct is not automatically attributable to Mr. Depp.”
Depp sent the notice just a day after Heard filed an appeal to nullify the verdict ordering her to pay $10 million.
