Johnny Depp Suing the ACLU, Wants to Subpoena Amber Heard’s Donations
Normally when someone gets mad at the ACLU, it’s because they think there should be a law that violates the first amendment, like proposed laws that would ban flag-burning or “hate speech.” Johnny Depp is fighting with the storied civil rights defenders but not about policy; he just wants them to tell the courts how much of her publicly pledged donation his ex-wife Amber Heard has actually paid them.
A part of Depp’s loss in defamation case against British tabloid The Sun was the judge rejecting Depp’s claims Heard was a gold digger based on her pledge to donate all of their divorce settlement to charity. As Depp moves to fight Heard in defamation cases in the US, he wants to prove Heard never actually paid out anything close to her pledged donations.
TMZ reports that Depp is suing the ACLU to force them to disclose the status of Heard’s donations.
That’s where this ACLU drama comes in. Johnny and his legal team are attempting to prove Amber perjured herself in court when she claimed she donated $7 million total to the ACLU and Children’s Hospital L.A. — something she agreed to do as part of their divorce settlement.
Remember, it was in August 2016 when the ACLU put out a release thanking Amber for pledging to donate half of her $7 million settlement. A few months later, the organization announced Heard had donated $350,000 directly … but Depp’s team believe it was Elon — whom Heard was dating at the time — who paid that and anything else donated in her name.
Depp thinks Heard only donated around $450k total from her own pocket in the end — and he claims the ACLU has refused to play ball and turn over docs on the issue. So, now, he wants a judge to step in and make it happen with the slam of a gavel.
That is that sort of information that could really turn opinions against Heard. Not the donations, just the fact that she willingly had sex with Elon Musk.
“Not the donations, just the fact that she willingly had sex with Elon Musk.”
Good fun!
…well, we have seen how far she is willing to go (or rather, how low she is willing to stoop), and on that list, sex with Elon, as unthinkable as that may be, is not even anywhere near the top 20!
