Johnny Depp revealed that three people turned their backs on him during his defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, and claimed that he unfairly absorbed criticism and blame during the #MeToo movement.
In 2016, the actress accused Johnny of domestic violence before filing for divorce and securing a temporary restraining order. The two finalized their divorce in August of that year, reaching a $7 million settlement.
Three years later, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor sued Amber for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed piece she wrote for The Washington Post, in which she described—without naming Johnny—facing backlash for speaking out about a problematic relationship. Johnny claimed Amber’s article damaged his reputation and career.
