Johnny Depp recently lost his libel case against The Sun, the British publication that had called him a “wife-beater” in 2018. As you’d expect, this didn’t bode well for the actor’s prospects in Hollywood, but apparently, he’s asking the studios to keep watching his trials against former wife Amber Heard.
The messy feud between the Pirates of the Caribbean star and the Aquaman actress has seemingly turned into an endless saga of media scrutiny and public controversy. Not only that, but the long court battle has also affected their careers. Warner Bros. recently asked Depp to step away from the Fantastic Beasts franchise after the UK court ruled against him, not to mention several reports seem to suggest that the American thespian is losing out on roles due to the current development.
All’s not lost for the legendary star, though, as his team of lawyers is currently busy appealing to the court to change the verdict. Besides, the ex-couple will face off again in the US district court. And with all the evidence mounting up against Heard, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see her then-husband win the defamation lawsuit after all.
In fact, it would appear that Depp is asking Hollywood to keep watching the trials, hoping that they will turn the tables on his former flame. This report is courtesy of insider Daniel Richtman, who recently shared the news on his Patreon page.
WB’s decision to remove Johnny Depp has already enraged a lot of folks on the internet, many of whom have been campaigning non-stop to see the actor rehired, or at the very least, compel the studios to give Heard the same treatment. As such, I think it’s safe to say that even if he loses the US defamation case as well, it’ll take more than just a court’s ruling to appease his legions of fans on social media.
