Johnny Depp’s $50 million defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard is set to resume Monday after a weeklong recess. When the trial reconvenes May 16 in Fairfax, Virginia, Depp's legal team will cross-examine Heard about her tumultuous 15-month marriage to Depp.
Depp's business manager, Ed White, told the jury of six men and three women Depp paid over $14 million in their divorce settlement after Heard’s financial demands "continually increased" during negotiations.
The talks started at $4 million and eventually grew to the sizable figure, with $6.8 million paid to Heard, $500,000 to her lawyers and about $7,250,000 to the couple's "community liabilities." The world now watches two actors in action in real time.
