Amber Heard Files For Bankruptcy: Is She Trying to Avoid Paying Johnny Depp?
Hollywood actress, Amber Heard has officially filed for bankruptcy saying that she doesn’t have enough money to comply with the judgment where she has been ordered to pay her ex-husband.
It would be recalled that at the end of the trial, the jury ruled that Heard had to pay $10 million in damages to Johnny Depp.
Depp, on the other hand, would also have to pay $2 million as compensation.
However, shortly after the verdict was handed down by the judge, the Aquaman actress’ legal team explained to the judge that the woman would not have enough money to pay off the debt.
Since then, Heard has been in a legal process to find options other than paying the $10 million. It is now known that she has appealed the jury’s decision in a bid to force down the fine.
Amber Heard had earlier filed an appeal with the state of Virginia seeking to nullify the judgment in view of her financial predicament.
Depp, however, believes this is a time for both parties to move on with their lives and get back on their feet. “But if Ms. Heard is determined to continue the litigation by appealing the verdict, Mr. Depp will file a concurrent appeal to ensure that the Court of Appeals considers the full record and all relevant legal issues,” a source close to Johnny Depp explained to CNN.
