As TMZ reports, Amber Heard’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss a few of Johnny Depp’s charges. The publication states that this is a fairly common ask. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for Heard. The judge denied the motion to end the trial, which means that both legal teams will continue to battle it out in court.
Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over the Washington Post article that she wrote in December 2018, which he claims is defamation. This is the second time that Johnny Depp is taking someone to court for defamation. The first time, Depp sued The Sun over their article that claimed he was a “wife-beater.” Depp lost the UK trial, after being unable to prove that he did not beat his then-wife, Heard.
Now Depp is out to prove just that with the trial. According to public opinion, he’s winning. It looks like the judge believes that he has a chance to fight back as well.
