Johnny Depp’s reputation was damaged by restraining order not op-ed: Amber Heard
Amber Heard claimed that her ex-husband Johnny Depp’s reputation was
damaged by the restraining order she obtained against him in 2016 and not the op-ed she wrote for
The Washington Post.
Hence, in the motion filed by the
Aquaman
actor after losing the libel case against
The Rum Diary
star, Heard mentioned that Depp is not “entitled” to the $15 million damages awarded to him by the court.
Mr. Depp testified that the damage to his reputation was when Ms. Heard
obtained the DVTRO [domestic violence temporary restraining order] on May 27, 2016
for which he cannot be compensated," the motion, obtained by
Radar,
read.
The documents further read that Depp acknowledged during the bombshell trial
that the restraining order and the media attention it brought caused him to lose “everything.”
