Hello again: Amber Heard files libel appeal against Johnny Depp

______________________________

It seems that principles for 36-year-old Amber Heard are more important than money: Johnny Depp promised to forgive his ex-wife $ 8 million fine if she does not file an appeal, but Amber is not looking for easy ways. The movie star’s lawyers have already collected the necessary documents and sent them to the court of Fairfax, Virginia, where the main hearings in the libel case took place.

We believe that the court made mistakes that prevented a fair verdict in accordance with the First Amendment, – said the representative of the actresses, – Therefore, we will appeal the verdict. While we understand that filing a lawsuit today will spark fires on social media, there are steps we must take to ensure both fairness and justice.

It seems that Johnny Depp is not very worried about this. His lawyers are sure they are right.

The jury heard extensive evidence presented during the six-week trial and came to the clear and unanimous conclusion that the defendant herself repeatedly slandered Mr. Depp. We remain confident in our case and that this verdict will stand,” the actor’s representatives said in a dialogue with HELLO!.

Recall that in In early June, Amber Heard hit all the media headlines after the jury unanimously found her guilty in a high-profile libel case against ex-husband Johnny Depp. The high-profile defamation process has been under consideration since April 11. Johnny Depp filed a lawsuit against Amber Heard over an article signed by her name in The Washington Post in December 2018. From the text it followed that the actor could subject her to domestic violence. He has not been named, but the plaintiff claims that the text effectively ruined his reputation and career. He demanded compensation in the amount of $50 million from his ex-wife. The actress filed a counterclaim. She claimed that she had been subjected to “physical abuse and abuse” during her marriage.
