Johnny Depp was an ‘obsessed ex-husband hell-bent on revenge’, a court has heard, as the actor’s defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard got underway in the US state of Virginia. Lawyers on behalf of the Justice League actress said Mr Depp had sought to ‘ruin her life’ and that the situation was ‘disturbing, but not surprising’. The 58-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean actor is suing Heard, his former partner, for libel over a 2018 article she wrote in The Washington Post in which she discussed her experiences of domestic abuse.
Mr Depp’s lawyers say the article falsely implies Ms Heard, 35, was physically and sexually abused by him when they were married. He initially launched the $50million (£38. 2million) lawsuit in 2019, saying the accusations have made it difficult for him to get the sorts of roles he used to.
However, Ms Heard’s lawyer Benjamin Rottenborn said the actor had brought the suit ‘rather than take responsibility for his own actions’ and planned to turn the trial into a ‘soap opera’. ‘Amber Heard never wanted to offer up to the public who Johnny Depp was, but that is going to come out,’ he said, during his opening remarks. ‘He wanted to make her life hard, he wanted to ruin her life.
He wanted to destroy her. And that is what he did. ‘I wish I could say that it’s surprising.
It’s disturbing but not surprising. He was an obsessed ex-husband, hellbent on revenge…as his career was in free-fall and her career was talking off. ’ Mr Rottenborn continued: ‘It’s quite ironic that a piece that briefly discussed Amber moving on from Johnny Depp…is the vehicle that he used to keep her from moving on, rather than take responsibility for his own actions.
