Amber Heard challenges Johnny Depp to TV interview ahead of Dateline tell-all
Amber Heard has challenged Johnny Depp to do his own sit-down interview ahead of her upcoming Dateline chat.The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 59, won his defamation trial against his ex-wife this month, over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in the Washington Post discussing her experience with domestic abuse.He was awarded $10million in damages by the jury, while the 36-year-old won one count of her countersuit, receiving $2m.Following the bombshell court case, Heard spoke out in a tell-all interview with Dateline – snippets of which have been dropping on NBC this week ahead of the full chat airing tonight.However, after Depp took aim at her sit-down chat with Savannah Guthrie and accused her of ‘reimagining and re-litigating matters’ between them, the Aquaman’s team has now responded.‘If Mr Depp or his team have a problem with this, we recommend that Johnny himself sit down with Savannah Gutherie for an hour and answer all her questions,’ a spokesperson for Heard told Metro.co.uk.Their statement comes after those close to Depp said: ‘It’s unfortunate that while Johnny is looking to move forward with his life, the defendant and her team are back to repeating, reimagining and re-litigating matters that have already been decided by the court and a verdict that was unequivocally decided by a jury in Johnny’s favor.’After a six-week trial and 13 hours of deliberation, the seven-person jury – made up of five men and two women – found that Heard defamed Depp in the article, despite not naming him.She actress is having to pay $8m to her ex-husband but will be appealing the decision.To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 videoThe Justice League star has maintained that
