What a Hollywood thriller!
In the legal dispute between Johnny Depp (58) and his ex-wife Amber Heard (35) it goes into the next round. A court has now given the actor access to Amber Heard’s cell phone. He hopes to prove that she only faked the injuries he allegedly inflicted on her.
But let’s start: Heard and Depp were married from 2015 to 2017. In 2019 she published an article on domestic violence in the Washington Post. The background: Johnny Depp is said to have given her two blue eyes, a broken nose and a broken lip in an attack in Los Angeles in 2015.
She then added photos of the devastated apartment and her battered face. In the article, although she did not mention his name, she called him “woman thug”.

Everything was a lie, says Depp. DER sued SHE for $ 50 million for defamation, claiming the actress had manipulated the photos.
Depp’s attorney Benjamin Chew: “The LAPD found no injury or destruction of the penthouse in Ms. Heard”. And further: “Ms. Heard and her friends then fabricated photos with which Heard obtained an injunction and a divorce settlement in the amount of 7 million US dollars.”
Now Depp’s team has the opportunity to prove this, because: The court in Virginia ruled on Wednesday that his team can expertly check the phone and examine it for evidence of photo manipulation.
Previously, Depp’s team examined the pictures of the injured Amber Heard and found that they were transmitted without metadata. In other words: there is a possibility that the photos were edited afterwards.
An expert from Depp’s team wants to use the renewed cell phone examination to prove that the photos were taken on or after October 6, 2018. THAT would mean Amber Heard lied. Amber herself is not afraid of the new allegations.
Your lawyer said to “Page Six“That Heard” welcomes the opportunity next year to bring her evidence to a jury trial. ” Depp has “nothing to prove his claims.”
