Johnny Depp59, appealed to the United States court not to compensate Amber feltout of 36, to US $ 2 million (R $ 10 million), according to a publication of Deadline Thursday 3. The actor was sentenced defamation during a media trial in April this year.

The jury ruled that the star of the franchise Pirates of the Caribbean is expected to pay the amount after her former attorney Adam Waldman slandered the actress in a statement to the daily mail, when he claimed that Heard lied about abusing his relationship with Depp. She is suing her ex-husband for holding him indirectly responsible for the allegations.

“Ms. Heard’s judgment on this lonely statement is wrong,” reads the 44-page document sent to the Virginia Court of Appeals in United States. However, the actor’s team argued that Heard did not present enough evidence to have Depp convicted of Waldman’s statements.

“Heard has presented no evidence demonstrating the malice in the behavior of Deep’s former lawyer,” the document reads. The team also said the actress did not show how the star would induce her former defender to make such statements.

Johnny Depp emerged victorious in his media lawsuit against his ex-wife, despite jurors finding the two Hollywood stars guilty of defamation. According to the verdict, Heard defamed her ex-husband in an article published by The Washington Post in 2018, in which he described himself as a “public person representing domestic abuse”. You have been ordered to pay 10.3 million dollars (R $ 51 million) to him.

After the trial, Depp returned to activities and work. Recently, Rihannafor example, she invited the actor to attend the singer’s annual fashion show, Savage x Fenty Show Vol 4.
