Amber Heard could be subjected to a police probe amid claims of perjury, legal experts have said.The news comes after the Aquaman actress, 36, admitted she did not donate the $7m from her divorce settlement with Johnny Depp, 58, to charity, even though she previously told the UK High Court she had.While giving evidence on day three of her testimony yesterday at the court in Fairfax, Virginia, Amber gave some legal experts reason to believe that she could face a perjury probe.After she and Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny divorced in 2016, Amber had promised to donate $7m to charity.At the time, she claimed she would evenly split the large sum of money between the Children's Hospital Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).However, she has since admitted that she has not yet handed over the money to said charities.The star insists her ongoing libel battle with ex-husband Johnny is to blame.Giving evidence at her libel trial yesterday, Amber claimed she has yet to make the full donation “because Johnny sued me for $50million in March of 2019.”This was after Amber had claimed on several occasions, including under oath at their UK High Court libel case, that the money had already been paidIt came despite the actress having claimed on several occasions, including under oath at their UK High Court libel case, that she had.Amber expressed her intentions to honour the pledge but confessed she had not yet been able to pay the money.“I pledged the entirety of the $7 million to charity and I intend to fulfil those obligations,” she said.Challenged on the difference between pledging money and actually donating, Amber replied: “I use pledge and donation synonymously with each other.”She was also asked directly.
