Johnny Depp LOSES bid to overturn High Court ruling that he beat Amber Heard | Daily Mail Online

"Johnny Depp was today refused permission to bring an appeal against a damning High Court ruling that he assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard and left her in 'fear for her life' - as the Hollywood star's lawyers claimed he 'looked forward to presenting the irrefutable truth' to a US libel court.

The actor has already had to pay £628,000 ($861,000) in legal fees after losing the first libel trial, and now faces paying an even larger bill for costs and damages following today's judgment. The actor's £35m ($50m) US libel case against Ms Heard - which will also be extremely costly - was recently delayed until April 2022."

The actress, 34, took to Instagram to share a snap of her plastered arm after getting the jab at a clinic.

Johnny Depp's 'downfall to be explored in three new documentaries' | Daily Mail Online

"Johnny Depp's 'downfall' is reportedly set to be explored in three new documentaries after he lost his bid to overturn a UK High Court ruling that he beat ex Amber Heard.

It has been claimed that the upcoming shows are currently being made in the US and UK with production company, Optomen, working with ITV on a 'Depp vs Heard' programme since last summer.

In March, Depp, 57, was refused permission to bring an appeal against a damning High Court ruling that he assaulted his ex-wife Amber with his lawyers claiming that he 'looked forward to presenting the irrefutable truth' to a US libel court.

The actor has already had to pay £628,000 ($861,000) in legal fees after losing the first libel trial, and now faces paying an even larger bill for costs and damages following the judgment."

Amber Heard is not facing a LAPD investigation for perjury in Johnny Depp case, says her lawyer | Daily Mail Online

"Heard's lawyer Elaine Bredehoft is denying that the LAPD is investigating Amber for fabricating injuries and a crime scene after their alleged 2016 altercation. The 35-year-old actress's lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, is denying reports that the Los Angeles Police Department is looking into whether she staged injuries and fabricated a crime scene following an alleged altercation between the former couple on May 20, 2016.

'The statute of limitations for perjury in California is three years and has long since expired, so an investigation, much less charges, much less a conviction, much less jail time, are impossibilities,' Bredehoft said during a private hearing on Friday morning which was reported by RadarOnline.

In light of the false investigation reports, Heard's lawyers requested a motion for dismissal of the 57-year-old actor's case against her, which was heard at a Fairfax, Virginia court."

Depp, 58, faces another legal battle in the US in 2022 - a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Heard over a Washington Post opinion piece on domestic abuse - so said he could not talk about the court case.

 

[they'll get you]

The Times described the court case as “the grottiest showbiz trial of the century”, during which Depp had been “stripped of his status and his dignity”.

“There were photos of the actor passed out in a foetal slump, socks on show,” the article said.

“One lengthy exchange involved faeces. Another urination, inside or outside a house, after a violent night with his ex-wife.”

After three weeks of hearings, Judge Nicol concluded Depp had violently assaulted Heard, putting her in fear of her life.
Johnny Depp was once Hollywood royalty. So can he make a comeback?

Johnny Depp Continuously Replaced by Timothée Chalamet Amid Lawsuit Drama
The verdict for the $150 million lawsuit will not be determined until spring 2022, however, it seems that new information continues to release. Most recently, we have seen Depp begin to stand up for himself. The actor has warned others that they can be “canceled” at any moment, regardless of the truth. Depp continues to state that he is innocent and did not abuse Amber Heard.
Timothée Chalamet has been cast in the role to play a younger Wonka in a prequel series.

Timothée recently shared a sneak peek of him in the role, and with an outfit so similar to Depp’s, the question remains: Can Chalamet replace Depp?

Johnny Depp Suffers Loss Ahead Of $100M Defamation Trial With Amber Heard

Virginia judge rules Amber Heard can argue immunity for 2018 Washington Post Op-ed | Daily Mail Online

"Johnny Depp has suffered a major loss ahead of his $100million defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard after a judge ruled she can argue to a jury that she should be protected from the lawsuit.

Depp, 58, sued Heard, 35, for libel in Virginia after The Washington Post published an op-ed on domestic violence authored by the Aquaman actress in 2018.

Although Heard never mentioned Depp by name in the article, the timing of their highly publicized split makes it clear that she 'falsely implied to be physically and sexually abused by Depp during their marriage,' Depp's lawyer argued.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star had sought to bar Heard's lawyers from claiming immunity at their upcoming trial, which is set to begin on April 11 after many delays since Depp filed the suit in 2019.

However, Virginia 19th Judicial Circuit Judge Penney Azcarate ruled against Depp on Thursday, saying Heard's editorial deals with a matter of public interest.

Azcarate's ruling does not mean Heard has immunity for what she wrote, but simply that she can make that argument to a jury as part of her defense."

Hollywood Star Johnny Depp To Testify In Defamation Lawsuit Filed In Fairfax County

Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial brings Hollywood to Fairfax County

Oh dear, can you imagine...?!?

The court will impanel a jury of Fairfax residents.

"I think it would be really cool to be picked as a juror and watch the drama unfold while being that close to the actors," said Kelly Ramirez, a Fairfax resident, "but it's also very sad considering the circumstances."

I predict jury selection is going to be nothing short of grueling, haha...

I give voir dire a solid week.

It could be 2-3 days; it could be 1.5 weeks; thus I'll split the difference.

Elon Musk will be a NO SHOW at Johnny Depp's $100millon defamation trial | Daily Mail Online

"He is the big ticket item among a galaxy of celebs and Hollywood agents slated to give evidence when Johnny Depp and Amber Heard lock horns next week in their epic $100,000 million defamation trial.

But DailyMail.com understands that Elon Musk will likely be a high profile no-show when the explosive case kicks off because neither side can compel the world's richest man to appear.

Musk's name features prominently in court filings and was included in Heard's list of 80 possible witnesses she plans to call upon to back her story that she was savagely beaten and abused by her Fantastic Beasts ex.

But under Virginia law there is no way Musk, a non-resident of the state, can be forced to attend proceedings at the Fairfax County Circuit Court, either in person or via video-link.

If a witness decides not to participate lawyers can instead draw upon their deposition as evidence – but the mercurial Tesla boss, 50, never sat down for one with either side."

Amber Heard speaks out ahead of $100 million defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp | Daily Mail Online


"Aquaman star Amber Heard hit out at her ex as she addressed the $100,000 million defamation trial waged by former husband Johnny Depp, which kicks off next week in Virginia.

Although Heard, 35, never mentioned Depp by name in the article, the timing of their highly publicized split makes it clear that she 'falsely implied to be physically and sexually abused by Depp during their marriage,' Depp's lawyer argued.

The 58-year-old actor sued for $50 million, claiming he was axed from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise amid speculation he was the abuser. He was allowed to sue in Virginia because the Post's online editions are published through servers located in Fairfax County.

Heard responded by countersuing for $100 million, claiming Depp smeared her and branded her a liar, setting the stage for next week's final chapter in their tumultuous story."

Johnny Depp's $100million defamation trial against ex wife Amber Heard begins today | Daily Mail Online

"Johnny Depp's $100million defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard kicks off today in Fairfax, Virginia with jury selection.

The two actors were brought into the courthouse in secrecy after Judge Penney Azcarate ordered deputies to stop the proceedings becoming a media circus.

Fans began gathering outside the courthouse at 5am, the majority there to show support for Depp.

'I love him dearly. I've been a fan for 36 years, I've met him many times,' gushed Yvonne de Boer, who made the pilgrimage from Los Angeles to Virginia.

'I want to be hear from him, to hear him speak his truth. We want him to know he's not alone.'

'I want Johnny to know how much his fans love him. He's just a normal guy, he's gentle and sweet. It's inconceivable that he could behave the way Amber said he did.'

Natasha Miller drove from Reno, Nevada to hear the Pirates of the Caribbean actor speak in person.

'He's lost work, people's perception of him has changed,' she told DailyMail.com.

'I don't think that he did the things that she said he did. I don't buy it. I've heard the audio tapes, she straight up admits hitting him.

'I'll be here until the trial is over. He's the chief, I'll go where the chief goes. He's been my favorite everything for 28 years, ever since I saw him in Benny & Joon. He's a brilliant man.'

Kayla Gauthier, 19, travelled to the trial with her mom to join a crowd of around 30 supporters.

'He's my favorite person. I was raised on his films. He's my hero,' she beamed, proudly showing off her Edward Scissorhands t-shirt."
