The ongoing legal battle between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has affected Depp’s career as he lost two major roles in big-budget movies. Sources reveal that Disney has cut Johnny Depp off “Pirates Of Caribbean 6”. Johnny Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard’s accusations have scared Disney into playing safe. Depp also Revealed that the film is still in dangle mode.
Is Depp Really A Wife beater?
Amber Heard accused Johnny Depp of domestic violence and got a restraining order in 2016. The couple got their divorce a few months later and that seemingly resolved the issue. Soon the couple released a statement saying, “neither party has made false accusations for financial gain.”
But Amber Heard went on to write an op-ed in December 2018 alluding to her abuse claims. In response to the article, Depp filed a defamation case against her.
He is suing her for 50 million dollars saying that she lied and she was the one who beat him. Depp reveals on the stand on Tuesday, the fifth day of his trial that Heard would repeatedly attack him. He would hide every time in a bathroom or a bedroom and denies ever getting violent with her.
My Career Is Finished: Says Johnny Depp
Amber Heard’s op-ed was published in Washington Post alluding to her abuse without identifying Depp. This leads him to file a lawsuit against her.
Depp said, “I would be a real simpleton to not think that there was an effect on my career based on Ms. Heard’s words, whether they mentioned my name or not.”
Depp testified, “Once that happened, I lost then, No matter the outcome of this trial, I’ll carry that for the rest of my days… I’m suing her over defamation and the various falsities that she used to bring my life to an end.” He further went on to say that his career was over.
Even after removing him, Disney could not remove his character from theme parks all around.
“They didn’t remove my character from the rides,” he said. “Didn’t stop selling dolls of Captain Jack Sparrow. Didn’t stop selling anything. They just didn’t want there to be something trailing behind me that they’d find.”
Heard’s lawyer questions Depp, “The fact is, Mr. Depp if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, nothing on this earth would get you to go back and work with Disney on a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film? Correct?” To which Depp replied, “yes.”
The cross-examination will continue on Thursday as Heard takes the stand.
