After several years in conflict, the legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues, because this Monday, April 11, the pending defamation trial will take place.
However, a few days after the long-awaited legal meeting, the actress shared a message with her followers on her Instagram account, assuring that she has always felt love for him and where she appreciates the support she has received.
This latest trial stems from a lawsuit filed by Depp in 2019, in which he accuses Heard of defamation after an opinion piece he published. Washington Post in 2018, in which he assured that he received domestic abuse from the actor. It is expected that the lawsuit for 50 million dollars against the actress will be the one that ends the conflict that the ex-partner has had for just over five years.
A couple of days before the trial, Amber Heard shared a message on her social networks, in which she reported that due to the hearing with Depp in Virginia, she will be absent and assured that despite the circumstances, she has always felt love for Johnny .
I’m going to be offline for the next few weeks. As you know, I will be in Virginia where I will be facing my ex-husband Johnny Depp in court. Johnny is suing me over an op-ed I wrote for The Washington Post, in which I recounted my experience of domestic violence and abuse. I never named it, but wrote about the price women pay for speaking out against men in power. I’m still paying that price, but I hope that when this case is over, I can move on and so can Johnny. I have always kept love Johnny and it causes me great pain to have to live the details of our past life together in front of the world. At this time, I acknowledge the continued support I have been fortunate to receive over the years and in these next few weeks I will lean on him more than ever.
The actress wishes that at the end of the trial, each one can continue with their lives, because it hurts her that today they have to expose details of their past life to the public.
Among the list of people who will testify in this trial, which will be broadcast on live television and receive much publicity, are Elon Musk, James Franco, Paul Bettany and more celebrities.
It is not yet known how all this will end, what is a fact is that no matter what the result is, there will be quite a few important reactions both in networks and in Hollywood and in the working lives of the actors.
