The defamation trial of actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is turning uglier and dirtier with each passing day. With both sides accusing each other of repeated domestic, physical and verbal abuse, the fierce legal battle about their tumultuous marriage has revealed shocking details of their ugly fights and altercations. It was Johnny Depp who first sued ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation after the latter wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post.
In the opinion piece, Heard referred to herself as a 'public figure representing domestic abuse'. Although she did not identify Depp in her op-ed, he sued Heard for damaging his personal and professional life. After more than a year of the legal battle, Amber Heard countersued Depp alleging that he defamed her when his attorneys released statements calling her allegations of abuse a hoax. Ever since the legal sparring has begun between Depp and Heard, the former had been removed from several big-budgeted films.
