Johnny Depp, "his career is destroyed"
Johnny Depp's career "is shattered". The Hollywood star's lawyers think so in the hours following the end of the trial that took place before the London High Court. Debate where Depp brought the British tabloid The Sun to the bar, guilty of having called him a "woman beater". They have been weeks full of twists and turns, in which the actor's lawyers, in order to better defend him, had to go into the details of the marital relationship with ex-wife Amber Heard.
Three weeks in which the most hidden backstories were communicated to the world on what apparently seemed to be one of the most beautiful weddings in Hollywood, but which instead turned out to be a nightmare made of alcohol, drugs, violence and beatings. Meanwhile, from a strictly legal point of view in the last hearing Sasha Wass, the lawyer who assists The Sun, insisted that before the divorce Depp "regularly and systematically abused his wife", consequently the reconstruction published by the newspaper in the 2018 would be true. This aspect is essentially the heart of this process, because any issues directly between the two former spouses will be discussed in another process.
After a few weeks and we will have the sentence, explain the English newspapers. Meanwhile, incredible moments still echo in the air that portray the madness of the Depp / Heard house: the feces left by the woman on her husband's bed; his finger cut off by her; Depp's drugs hidden by Heard in revenge; the throwing of objects of all kinds after epochal and furious quarrels.
It was Heard, moreover rather tried, to speak publicly to the press after the trial: "It was incredibly painful to relive the end of my relationship, to see how my truth was questioned, to see how the most traumatic details of my story with Johnny they went around the world. I trust in British justice ”.
The actor, on the other hand, silently walked away from the court with a stuffed animal in his hand but not before throwing smiles and greetings to his fans who were waiting for him outside the courtroom. David Sherborne, the attorney for the interpreter of Pirates of the Caribbean, explained to the court in his closing speech that "the label of violent destroys the reputation of my client and ends his career in Hollywood". Depp, who admitted to having abused all kinds of drugs and squandered a fortune, as well as having damaged a rented villa in Australia with his partner, certainly did not make a great impression on us.
The same goes for Heard that she did not seem the only victim of a ferocious family picture on both sides more similar to The War of the Roses than anything else. Furthermore, Depp sued his ex-wife for defamation because he allegedly lied about the domestic abuse he suffered, asking for no less than $ 50 million in compensation. The appointment is for 2021, but as one of his lawyers, Mark Stephens, says, if Depp loses in London he would almost certainly lose in the United States as well. "
