Amber Heard, the lawyer: "She doesn't have the money to pay Depp, the sentence is a defeat for #MeToo"

Amber Heard came out with broken bones and virtually broke from the libel trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp.

The actress " does not have the money to pay the huge compensation to which the Fairfax judges have sentenced her," said lawyer Elaine Bredehoft, who announced that she is already preparing the appeal.

Heard, accused of defaming her ex-husband, owes him $ 15 million in compensation . “Things were admitted during the trial that shouldn't have been and this confused the jury. While Johnny's team managed to suppress a mountain of evidence, ”adds the lawyer referring to the evidence that emerged in the trial against the" Sun "of 2020 in London, a case won by the tabloid that had defined Depp as" one who beats women ".

The lawyer also complains about a defeat of the #MeToo movement , for the first time since the Weinstein scandal "the notion that women denouncing the burden of proving that they are telling the truth prevailed, not vice versa".

Johnny Depp, who had already won in the court of public opinion and social media, can now go back to thinking about his career. And he aims to return in a new Tim Burton's “ Beetlejuice ”, one of the films that made him love.
