Johnny Depp’s multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard began in Virginia on Monday morning with the selection of jurors. Seven jurors and four alternates were selected to hear the case. She claims that a 2018 article by Heard in the Washington Post – in which she spoke about domestic violence against women – implied that Depp, her ex-husband, was a criminal. Although the 35-year-old did not name the actor, Depp’s lawyers say that Herd’s allegations made it difficult for the 58-year-old to get roles he had in the past. Depp is best known for starring in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Sweeney Todd and Charlie, and The Chocolate Factory. Heard has appeared in titles such as Aquaman and Drive Angry. He is seeking $ 50 million (£ 38.2 million) in damages during the Fairfax County District Court trial. Herd, meanwhile, has filed a counterclaim for defamation against Depp, whom she divorced in 2017, for harassment. Depp has previously lost a defamation case in the UK to the British newspaper The Sun over allegations in Herd’s 2018 article.

“No one is safe from the culture of cancellation”: Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp claimed that “no one is safe from the culture of cancellation” while receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain in September last year. At the time, Depp was answering a question about his removal from Disney from The Pirates of the Caribbean films that defined his career, following allegations of abuse made against him by his ex-wife Amber Heard in 2018. Four days after Heard’s article in the Washington Post, which referred to the physical and sexual abuse of the 58-year-old actor, Disney announced that Depp would not play his role as Captain Jack Sparrow again. Depp sued Herd for “no more than $ 50 million”, claiming that “categorical and proven false” allegations of abuse in the opinion paper had negatively affected his Hollywood career.
