Johnny Depp’s $50 million lawsuit against Amber Heard has been trending over the internet for the last few days. The trial is going on at Virginia’s Fairfax County Courthouse.
Depp has filed the case to prove that the allegations made by Heard about abusing her during their marriage are false. The issue escalated after the Aquaman star wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post in 2018, identifying herself as a survivor of s*xual violence.
Heard did not mention Depp’s name and the public was smart enough to understand that it was him since they were well aware of the problems going on between the duo. Depp is seeking compensation of $50 million for the damage done to his career and an additional $350,000 for punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and court costs.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard tied the knot in 2016 and separated the following year. The latter accused Depp of abusing her, which Depp denied. They settled their divorce in August 2016.
The duo has been facing each other in court for the last few years. The Pirates of the Caribbean star also sued The Sun for calling him a wife-beater.
