Amber Heard hopeful she and Johnny Depp can 'move on' after $100,000,000 defamation trial

Amber Heard expressed that she has always ‘maintained a love’ for her ex-husband Johnny Depp, as she prepares for the defamation trial on Monday.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 58, sued his 35-year-old ex-wife for $50 million (£39million) for defamation after she wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post in which she described herself as a victim of domestic violence, though she didn’t name her former spouse, and in return, she countersued for $100 million (£76,714,200).

However, Depp categorically denies the article’s implication that he was violent toward her. Addressing the upcoming trial on social media, Heard wrote: ‘I’m going to go offline for the next several weeks. ‘As you may know, I’ll be in Virginia where I face my ex-husband Johnny Depp in court. ‘Johnny is suing me for an op-ed I wrote in the Washington Post, in which I recounted my experience of violence and domestic abuse. ’She continued: ‘I never named him, rather I wrote about the price women pay for speaking out against men in power.

I continue to pay that price, but hopefully when this case concludes, I can move on and so can Johnny. ‘I have always maintained a love for Johnny and it brings me great pain to have to live out the details of our past life together in front of the world. ’‘At this time, I recognize the ongoing support I’ve been fortunate to receive through these years, and in these coming weeks I will be leaning on it more than ever.
