Amber Heard admitted that she has not donated millions of dollars to charity from her divorce settlement as she had previously promised - and blamed Johnny Depp for bringing legal action as to why.

Amber Heard once promised to donate her entire divorce settlement to charity, but confirmed in court that she is yet to do so. The Aquaman actress’ cross-examination in the libel trial against her ex-husband Johnny Depp continued on Monday, with the former couple counter-suing each other. Depp’s lawyers are arguing that a 2018 article published by Heard in The Washington Post, suggested that he was physically and sexually abusive towards her during their marriage, despite not naming him in the article. During the latest episode of the bombshell trial, Heard was asked about her pledge to donate $3.5million (£2.8m) to the ACLU charity. The 36-year-old has said in a past interview and while under oath in Depp’s libel case in the UK in 2020, that she would donate the entirety of the divorce settlement she received – $7m (£5.6m) – to charity. In 2018, Heard appeared on Dutch talk show RTL Late Night and said: ‘$7million in total was donated – I split it between the ACLU and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. I wanted nothing.’ This week she told the court that she has been unable to ‘because Johnny sued me for $50m (£40m) in March of 2019’. She added: ‘I fully intend to honour all of my pledges.
