Johnny Depp’s lawyers hinted on Wednesday that the Hollywood superstar may not receive his paycheck from his ex-wife Amber Heard, insisting he was pleased with his “full profit”, which finally cleared its name.
“Obviously we can’t reveal the communication between a lawyer and a client, but as Mr. Depp testifies, it was never about money for Mr. Depp,” one of the star’s lawyers, Ben Chu, told Good Morning America. When asked about Hurd’s fear of becoming impoverished.
“It was to restore his reputation – and he did,” Chu said carefully.
“It was a complete victory for Johnny,” he told George Stefanopoulos.

She said the actress was removed by them instead, “using her words against her”.
“Every question that was asked was related to something she said earlier.
“And I think the jury needs to see that the world needs to see and hear from Miss Hurd” about the truth about the couple’s toxic relationship.

The actor – who was too busy swinging with guitar legend Jeff Beck to go to court to hear he had won his case – said immediately after the victory that the opportunity to tell the truth left him alone. .

However, Hurd’s team has already expressed disregard for the planned media blitz of lawyers this week, even before what they said was broadcast.
“It’s as obscene as it is unprofessional that Johnny Depp’s legal team has chosen to take a triumphant tour to go back decades on how women can be treated in court,” a Hurd spokesman said in a statement.
“What’s next? A film and merchandising deal?”
The attack came, although Hurd’s own lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, had already given interviews to some of the same publications the morning after the loss, accusing him of Depp’s approach to “demonizing Amber and suppressing the evidence.”
Hurd’s team also attacked her ex-husband for joining TikTok and cried over the widespread support he received.
“Because Johnny Depp says ‘go forward,’ women’s rights are moving backwards,” a Hurd spokesman said in a statement.
“The message of the verdict to the victims of domestic violence is вайте be afraid to stand up and talk.
The Washington Post has since added a detailed editorial to Hurd’s article to highlight how it has been declared defamatory.
