The drama of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues. Following the 2020 conviction of Depp v. The Sun for calling him a “wrestler” rejected, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor is back in court, this time for suing Hurd for defamation (which she made a counterclaim for $ 100 million). Unfortunately for Depp, his case suffered a severe blow due to the dismissal of a key witness.
According to Insider, on the third day of testimony at the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial, Georgina Doiters, the wife of Stephen Doiters (one of Depp’s employees and associates), was called to the stand by Depp’s legal team. However, while Deuters recalled past events, she was removed from office and Hurd’s lawyers met with Judge Penny Azkarate. After the jurors were released from the courtroom, Azcarate, which presides over the trial, which is taking place in Fairfax County, Virginia, asked Deuters if she had watched any of the trials before testifying. Doyters replied that she had seen some “clips of this online,” and from there Azkarate said she could leave the courtroom and instructed Doyters’ testimony to be deleted from the record.
Before being removed from the stand, Georgina Doiters talked about things like how her husband met Johnny Depp, the time he spent with Amber Heard when he met Depp (she describes the then Aquaman actress as “very charming”) and how Depp drinking and drug use have never led to a big change in personality, she said. However, due to the dismissal of Deuters, the jury has no right to take into account what she said when it came time to discuss.
For those who did not pay much attention to the legal mess between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, back in 2018, Heard wrote a publication in the Washington Post in which she said that she survived domestic violence. Although the actress did not mention any names in the song, Depp felt that she was discussing her marriage to him. This gave rise to a defamation lawsuit he filed in early 2019, alleging that Hurd’s words led Disney to remove Depp as Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series.
The lawsuit against Johnny Depp for defamation against Amber Heard began earlier this week with the election of a juror, which included questions from a quiz on the careers of the two actors. Shortly afterwards, both legal teams made introductory remarks, with Depp’s team focusing on Hurd’s credibility, and Hurd’s team insisting that her publication was not for Depp and that Disney’s decision to break up with him was on its own accord. of the company. Isaac Baruch, a childhood friend of Depp, was among other witnesses who took testimony, saying that while he was on Depp’s side, he was also tired of what had been happening for the past six years.
There is a long way to go before the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial is over, and rumors that Hurd has almost been replaced as Measure in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom may even be raised during the proceedings. Keep visiting CinemaBlend for more updates on this event.
