Depp – Heard courtcase continues

You can follow the latest from the courtroom in Halifax as the trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp continues after a week-long break. 

The case emerges from a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, authored by Heard, which is at the centre of Depp’s defamation lawsuit. She alleged that Depp was physical violent with her during the course of their marriage, something that he vehemently denies.

Heard wrote: “I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.”

Although the article does not include Depp’s name, it was widely assumed that he was the target of portions of the writing.
