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

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThere’s no question: As challenging as the music industry can be for men, it’s twice as tough for women.That was one of the many takeaways from a panel discussion involving Grammy-winning songwriter Autumn Rowe (Jon Batiste’s “We Are,” Dua Lipa, Ava Max) and top music publishers Jody Gerson (chairman/CEO of Universal Music Publishing), Golnar Khosrowshahi (founder/president of Reservoir) and Carianne Marshall (co-chair/COO of Warner Chappell Music) at a panel discussion during the National Music Publishers Association’s annual meeting on Wednesday.While the four all had different paths to the roles they’re in today, they all faced similar challenges and obstacles, namely sexism, a lack of allies, achieving a work-life balance, and most ominously of all, dangerous situations. Rowe (pictured above, second from left), who said that she worked as a songwriter for 12 years before she got a significant paycheck — a sadly common situation — also said that she has encountered multiple writing sessions that were “unsafe.” When moderator, Danielle Aguirre, NMPA EVP and general counsel, asked if she would feel safer with even just one more woman in the room, Rowe said she would.
