The legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues and it was recently revealed that the actor had achieved a victory in the case. According to The Independent, Depp’s legal team managed to gain access to Heard’s phone to try to prove that the actress falsified photos of her injuries after an alleged physical abuse she suffered in 2015.
Johnny Depp celebrates a victory in his legal battle against Amber Heard
According to Page Six, in 2015, when Amber filed a domestic violence report and Los Angeles police arrived on the scene, they found no injuries to the actress, nor did they find signs of disturbance in the penthouse.
According to Depp’s attorney, Benjamin Chew, the actress, and her friends would have fabricated the photographs later and used them to get a temporary restraining order and ask for $7 million in the divorce settlement.
In 2018 Heard wrote an article about the alleged abuse he suffered in the Washington Post, where he said he suffered from two black eyes, a broken nose, and a split lip, however, he never named Johnny Depp. In response, the actor sued his ex for $50 million.
Another of the statements of Depp’s legal team against Heard is that the actress would have lied when declaring that she had donated the 7 million of her divorce to the children’s hospital in Los Angeles.
A New York judge has ordered the Civil Liberties Union to file documents proving it received a donation from actress Amber Heard as part of the settlement she made when she divorced Johnny Depp.
Johnny’s lawyers filed a petition in the New York Supreme Court last May for the ACLU to turn over the documents they have asked for. Such documents would prove that Amber kept her promise to split the $7 million she received as part of her divorce in 2016, as she claims. So far the ACLU has refused to provide the documents.
Under the divorce settlement, she would donate the money to the ACLU and Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
Depp wanted to know this information to use in the $50 million defamation complaint filed against Heard after she wrote an article about domestic violence in the Washington Post alluding to her relationship with the actor.
Heard said she had not been dishonest about donations to the ACLU and children’s hospital, saying she would pay for $7 million over 10 years.
The judge gave way to 23 of the 24 petitions the actor made in the motion. This means that the civil rights organization will have to present evidence of the contribution made by Heard.
According to the Daily Mail, what the judge refused to grant was the request for documents related to the actress’ role as an ACLU ambassador.
