    Respondent Opening Statement-J Benjamin Rottenborn-Amber Heard’s Attorney
    Actor Johnny Depp is suing ex-wife Amber Heard for $50 million for defamation in connection with Heard’s 2018 Washington Post op-ed, in which she spoke out about being the victim of domestic violence. Heard’s article did not specifically name Depp as her alleged abuser, but according to Depp’s lawsuit, it relied “on the central premise that Ms. Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Mr. Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her.” Amber Heard is counter-suing Depp for $100 million.
    The defamation trial began Monday in Fairfax County Circuit Court in Virginia, with jury selection completing on the same day. There is a possibility of celebrity witnesses testifying, including James Franco and Elon Musk. Tune in to the Law&Crime Network for daily coverage of this high-profile trial.

      Depp's witness today (day 111) that is affiliated with the ACLU realy drove that point home. .
      His testimony and emails entered into evidence proved not only was the op-ed about Amber, but they kept having to revise it to avoid violating the NDA signed when they divorced .
      Even after those revisions iys still obvious to a reasonable person that publication was about Depp.

He's done some great work (excluding all those Tim Burton freakshows and that egregious Disney prancing) but there's really no need to deify a flawed human being who gets paid millions to recite lines and make faces. His ego is getting in its own way with this latest showboating farce. Washed-up raconteur and his C-list harpy ex says what? Who cares. His poor kids - at keast their mother is a class act.

He does not have any stern expression in his face and seems ver calm about the whole matter. Lastly, if there were any problems in their relationship why wouldn’t she speak up about it right away but only when Depp leaves her. She is playing a victim mentality.

They had nothing to back up their claims against Johnny and they were exposed internationally in Court, on TV, and on social media, And while reading this article, it is clear that Amber spoke about Johnny Depp. In fact, that has always been what she has been doing since 2016, claiming to be a victim.
