Actor Johnny Depp testified Tuesday that his $50 million defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard is motivated by his desire to clear up “heinous and disturbing” allegations of abuse his ex-wife made against him six years ago and to prevent his friends and acquaintances from thinking he was a liar and a “fraud.”
“My goal is the truth,” he said in a Virginia court. “My goal is the truth.”
Wearing a suit and with his hair pulled back in a ponytail, Depp spoke of how his world turned on a dime in 2016 after Heard filed for divorce and then sought a restraining order against him, alleging physical abuse.
