Amber Heard’s attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, revealed Thursday that the actress has no money to pay damages to her ex-husband after being convicted of malicious defamation. In statements to the Today Show, it was also learned that the actress’s legal team will appeal the court’s decision issued this Wednesday.
For Elaine Bredehoft, the jurors could not avoid the media environment surrounding the Fairfax trial. “They went home every night, they had families, and the families are on social media,” the attorney said. “We had a 10-day break in the middle [do julgamento] for the discussion. There’s no way the jury won’t be swayed by this..”

THE lawyer also mentioned the fact that users of the social networks Tik Tok and Twitter remained on the side of Johnny Depp and compared the trial to a “Roman Coliseum”. “I went against the cameras inside the courtroom and testified that I was against it, citing the sensitive nature of the case,” Elaine Bredehoft said. “But they turned it into a zoo..”
When asked if the actress was able to pay the approximately 10.4 million dollars – about 9.7 million euros – Elaine answered clearly: “oh no definitely not.”
After all, who won? And for how much? The Depp v. listen point by point
Amber Heard’s team believes that much evidence related to The Sun’s case against Johnny Depp has not been used now. The actress’s medical records would be “very important” as they “show a pattern going back to 2012, when Amber complained to her therapist.”
the court there [no Reino Unido], and we couldn’t tell the jury this, held that Mr. Depp committed at least 12 acts of domestic violence, including sexual assault, against Amber Heard. And what did Depp’s team learn from that? He demonizes Amber and suppresses the evidence.
The jury in the case that pitted Amber Heard against Johnny Depp convicted the two actors of defamation on Wednesday. Amber Heard was sentenced to pay fifteen million dollars (14.1 million euros), while the actor must pay compensation of two million dollars (1.87 million euros).
