Sia made public her support for Johnny Depp in her legal battle with Amber Heard, who accused him of domestic violence
The actors got into numerous legal battles since she accused him of domestic violence
Johnny Depp is very close to going back to court to face his ex-wife, Amber Heard in a new trial in which he is suing her for defamation. Due to this situation, Sia decided to publicize her support for the actor.
Through her Twitter account, the Australian shared a video titled "Amber Heard and Johnny Depp: The real abuser finally revealed!" Then in a second tweet, the singer wrote a message of support for the Kentucky native.
“Just showing my public support for Johnny Depp. I mean, I would love for him to clean himself up and stop with the jewelry, but he's clearly the victim after listening to those tapes, ”she said.
Sia Kate Isobelle Furl, the interpreter's full name, referenced the audios that were played during a court case earlier this year in which Heard apparently admitted that he had beaten Depp.
Although the publication had more than 13 thousand “likes” and was retweeted more than 2000 times, the singer received many critical comments. Many of them called her a hypocrite, while others wrote to her to delete her Twitter.
In addition to this, the 44-year-old composer also directed one of her tweets to Elon Musk, Heard's ex-boyfriend, in which she complained why she still defended the actress from Texas.
"Also @Elon Musk. Didn't you give her the seven million she 'donated' from her settlement? She still came out seven million richer. Why are you protecting her? You will never get the help you need if we all stay silent! ”Added the singer.
An endless trial
The legal battle between Depp and Heard looks like a race to follow. The actor sued her for defamation in 2019, but her professional commitments could interfere with the process. That was why Depp asked for a postponement of the trial to be able to film "Fantastic Beasts 3", the new film installment of the Harry Potter universe.
Depp filed the $ 50 million lawsuit against Heard in 2019 for a 2018 opinion piece in the Washington Post in which the actress wrote about sexual and domestic violence, a few months after reaching a divorce settlement. Although the name of the interpreter is never mentioned in the editorial, the actor took legal action.
The news broke in September, nearly a month after Depp's defamation battle against News Group Newspapers, and The Sun's executive editor, Dan Wootton, in an April 2018 article in which he They called him a "beaten husband." While the 16-day court dispute has concluded, a verdict has not been reached. English judge Nicol is expected to make the ruling public this month.
The Fantastic Beasts 3 team was filming the production in London, but filming for the third installment in the saga was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic. Filming is expected to start again from October 2020 to February 2021, which conflicts with Depp and Heard's trial, which will take place from January 11 to 28 in a court in the state of Virginia, United States.
