The defamation case opposing Johnny Depp and Amber Heard began on 11 April in Fairfax, Virginia.
It stems from a complaint filed in 2019 by Depp, who alleges Heard, his ex-wife, defamed him in an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, in which she described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse”. He has asked for $50m in damages.
