Amber Heard Has 'A Certain Kind of Something' Lensed By David Slijper For Harper's Bazaar Taiwan
/
Actor Amber Heard is styled by Sarah Gore Reeves in ‘A Certain Kind of Something’. David Slijper is behind the lens for Harper’s Bazaar Taiwan April 2019.
Amber Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp has reportedly sued her for $50 million in a defamation suit over an op-ed that she wrote in the Washington Post in December 2018, further detailing her experiences with Depp.
Heard and Depp met in 2011 on the set of ‘The Rum Diary’ and married in 2015. Their relationship was always tempestuous, and Heard filed for divorce in 2016. She claimed violent abuse and donated her $7 million divorce settlement to charity. It’s noteworthy that Depp said he would make the donations to Children’s Hospital and ACLU directly — a Trumpian-type move that gave him a giant tax deduction, reducing his divorce settlement by about half.
The suit, which is for $50 million, says Heard “is not a victim of domestic abuse, she is a perpetrator.” The suit also denies that Depp ever abused Heard, and claims that her allegations were part of an “elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity” for the ‘Aquaman’ star.
Heard “purported to write from the perspective of ‘a public figure representing domestic abuse’ and claimed that she ‘felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out’ when she ‘spoke up against sexual violence,’ ” Depp’s lawyers state in the lawsuit.
“I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out,” Heard wrote in the op-ed. This claim might be the only one that both Heard and Depp agree on.
“This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard,” said Heard’s attorney. “Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior. But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team.”
