Amber Heard’s op-ed cost Johnny Depp a $22.5 million ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ deal, his manager testifies

Johnny Depp lost out on tens of millions of dollars in movie roles, including an alleged $22.5 million deal for “Pirates of the Caribbean 6″ after Amber Heard accused him of domestic violence, according to his talent manager.

Heard’s December 2018 Washington Post op-ed was “catastrophic” and “destroyed” Depp’s career, talent manager Jack Whigham testified on video Monday amid their ongoing defamation trial.

Before the allegations, Depp was working steadily, Whigham said, rattling off a string of movies beginning in October 2016 when he joined the team: “City of Lies” ($8 million), “Murder on the Orient Express” ($10 million), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” ($13.5 million), “Waiting for the Barbarians” ($1 million) and “Minamata” ($3 million), which was set to shoot in early 2019.
