John C. Depp, II v. Golden Laura Heard was a preliminary held in Fairfax District, Virginia,

from April 11 to June 1, 2022,

that managed on charges of maligning between previously wedded American entertainers

Johnny Depp and Golden Heard.

Depp, as offended party, recorded a protest of slander against respondent Heard guaranteeing $50

million in penalties;

Heard documented counterclaims against Depp guaranteeing $100 million in

punitive fees.

In May 2016, at a beginning phase in their separation procedures,

Heard guaranteed that Depp had mishandled her genuinely, which he denied.

In a different slander preliminary in Britain, in which Depp sued News Gathering Papers Ltd

over an article distributed in The Sun,

the directing adjudicator rejected Depp, expressing that "the extraordinary larger part of

supposed attacks of Ms Heard by

Mr Depp have been demonstrated to the common standard."Several lawful specialists

recommended

that Depp had a more modest possibility winning in the US preliminary contrasted with the

UK preliminary.

In the Virginia preliminary, Depp's cases connected with a December 2018 commentary

by Heard, distributed in

The Washington Post. Depp guaranteed Heard made new harm his standing and

profession by expressing

that she had opposed "sexual savagery" and that "a long time back,

[she] turned into a well known person

addressing homegrown maltreatment." Heard's counterclaims included claims

that Adam Waldman,

Depp's previous legal counselor, had stigmatized her in explanations distributed in the

Everyday Mail in 2020.

All through the preliminary, Depp's lawful group tried to refute Heard's maltreatment

charges and to show

that she had been the troublemaker, instead of the person in question, of close

accomplice savagery.

Heard's legal advisors safeguarded the commentary, guaranteeing it to be genuine and safeguarded

by the Principal Revision.

entertainment reaction,

most of which was thoughtful to Depp and condemning of Heard.News articles about

the case created

elevated degrees of virtual entertainment communication and reestablished banters

around points
