Amber Heard is speaking out about the allegation by Johnny Depp’s legal team that she did not donate the divorce settlement money to charities, as she promised she would in 2016.
According to a new The Daily Mail published on Thursday, January 7, the Pirates of the Caribbean the actor’s lawyers say they intend to use the prosecution as part of their efforts to appeal to the British Supreme Court judge Andrew NicholDepp’s decision in the case of defamation against The sun. In this case, Nichol sided The sun, arguing in his decision: “The donation of $ 7 million to charity is hardly the act that would be expected of a gold digger.”
In a statement to E! News, the Aquaman actress attorney Elaine Bredehoft confirms that her client has not yet fulfilled her $ 7 million pledge she made to Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union, citing financial reasons.
“Amber has already been responsible for seven figures in donations to charitable causes and intends to continue to contribute and, eventually, fulfill her promise”, explains Bredehoft. “However, Amber was late on that goal because Mr. Depp filed a lawsuit against her and, consequently, she was forced to spend millions of dollars defending Mr. Depp’s false accusations against her.”
