The Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial resumed on Monday, 16th May 2022. Heard returned to the stand to give her testimony against ex-husband Johnny Depp. There she described how their relationship fell apart and praised Elon Musk, whom she dated after leaving Depp.
The ongoing lawsuit stems from an op-ed that Heard wrote for the Washington Post. This article was about abusive relationships in 2018 and was titled: “Amber Heard: I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change“ Though the article did not name Depp directly, the actor claimed that it hurt his career. The trial for this suit started in April 2022 and has seen a lot of drama up till now.

Heard said that Johnny Depp didn’t accompany her for the fittings or the Met gala event where she met Musk. Further, she narrated her ordeal in reaching the Met gala venue alone without Depp, saying “I got out of the car and walked the red carpet by myself, with someone from Ralph Lauren’s team, sat next to an empty place setting for Johnny – he effectively stood me up on the carpet.” The ex-couple had a short-lived marriage full of disputes and fights, which apparently continued after they separated in the form of legal battles. Depp first unsuccessfully sued a British newspaper in the UK and is now fighting a 50 million dollar defamation suit trial against her in the US.
