Amber Heard has asked a judge to dismiss the $50 million (£38 million) defamation lawsuit that ex-husband Johnny Depp has filed against her over an op-ed published in The Washington Post concerning domestic violence.
“Johnny Depp physically and verbally abused Amber Heard,” her attorney Eric George said in a statement, according to Fox News.
Filing a motion in the Circuit Court of Fairfax, Virginia, Heard once again reiterated allegations that Depp abused her before and during their marriage.
Heard’s article in the Washington Post does not name Depp directly, but does discuss the difficulties of speaking out about domestic abuse.
