His legal team claims Depp lost a $ 22 million payment after Heard posted his editorial in the Washington Post in 2018 that didn’t identify Depp but clearly listed him as a home harasser.
Depp said he felt “guilty until proven guilty” with Disney executives.

Original Pirates screenwriter Stuart Beattie was the first to publicly confirm that the Disney studios would split from the star in 2018, redoing the entire franchise.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMailTV at a red carpet event in Hollywood, Beattie confirmed on camera that the reboot means Depp will be out as Sparrow.
Nodding when Depp was suggested to come out, he said, “I think he had a great run. Obviously he took the character and became the most famous. And kids all over the world love him as that character, so. I think It was great for him and for us, so I’m very, very happy. “

Depp is suing Heard for the editorial he wrote, describing him as “public person representing domestic abuse”.
The jury ruled in Depp’s favor in all three of his cases relating to specific statements in the 2018 article.
The jury found that Depp should have received $ 10 million in compensatory damages and $ 5 million in punitive damages, but the judge reduced the punitive damages compensation to $ 350,000 under a state limit.
The jury felt that Depp should receive $ 10 million in damages from Heard.
Heard said he intends to appeal the verdict as he is on the verge of bankruptcy.
A source close to the Aquaman star said the 36-year-old actress was “broke”, “feels her Hollywood career is over” and has “nothing to lose” after a disastrous few months.
