Depp is suing Heard for defamation, citing an op-ed she penned for the Washington Post back in 2018.

The article was headlined: “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.” In it, Heard claimed to be “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”

Despite her not naming her ex-husband in the piece, Depp’s legal team argue that she indirectly framed him as an abuser and significantly damaged his career as a result. It’s for that reason that the actor filed the $50 million defamation suit in 2019.
