Amber Heard Won’t Accept Defeat Until The Fat Lady Sings

Saddle up because the ride is not yet over. Johnny Depp might have won his defamation case, but we’re not yet sure whether the win will be permanent or not. Amber Heard and her lawyers have vowed to appeal the case. Why? One, Heard reportedly cannot pay Depp the money she owes him, according to a source. Two, Amber Heard wants to fight for the truth and for domestic violence survivors everywhere.

Guess “moving forward” will have to wait a while longer, now, wouldn’t it?

Young Juror Shouldn’t Be On the Panel, Amber Heard’s Team Argues

Amber Heard is not taking her loss against Depp in their highly publicized court case lying down. Her legal team is seeking to appeal or throw out last month’s verdict in the defamation case between the actress and her ex-husband.

In a 43-page filing sent to a Virginia court on Friday, the 36-year-old argued that the verdict was not supported by proper evidence and that the jurors were affected by public opinion – which was mostly against her.

In one claim, Heard’s team said that it was wrong for Depp, 59, to allege that he lost his role in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise and “Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore” because of Heard’s 2018 op-ed. They backed up the claim by saying that Heard didn’t mention him by name in the article.

Heard’s team argued that Depp “proceeded solely on a defamation by implication theory, abandoning any claims that Ms. Heard’s statements were actually false.”

Furthermore, Heard’s team claimed that one of the jurors who served during the trial was not properly vetted. The person summoned to court had a birth date of 1945 but Heard’s team insisted that the person who served was much younger.

The juror, identified in the filing as Juror 15, “was clearly born later than 1945. Publicly available information demonstrates that he appears to have been born in 1970,” the motion states.

In June, Depp made waves when he emerged victorious in all three counts of his defamation case, which he brought against his ex-wife Amber Heard. In 2018, Heard wrote a “defamatory” opinion piece for Washington Post claiming that she’s a survivor of sexual and domestic abuse.

Following the jury’s verdict, Elaine Bredehoft said that the “Aquaman” actress will absolutely “appeal” the verdict against her.
