The defamation trial opposing Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has entered its sixth week at the district court in Fairfax, Virginia, with closing arguments scheduled for this Friday.
Depp sued Heard, his ex-wife, for alleged defamation over an op-ed she wrote in 2018 in The Washington Post, titled: “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.” While Depp was not named in the op-ed, he claims her allegations made it difficult for him to land movie roles.
