Johnny Depp Could Take Amber Heard’s Property if She Fails to Pay Up
The defamation trail between Hollywood actor and singer, Johnny Depp and his ex-wife, Amber heard might be over but the ripples and reality from the outcome has kept them in the headlines week after week.
This time, Heards take the frontseat as multiple sources have reported that the actress is in search of funds to pay Depp after Depp after he won the defamation trial.
According to the New York Post, Heard is reportedly bankrupt, which means that she would be forced to sell assets to pay for the compensation due to Johnny Depp.
In case Heard is not able to pay, Depp could potentially levy her assets or even seize her house in California’s Yucca Valley.
“[Depp] can institute collection proceedings so he can garnish [Heard’s] pay, if she has a salary or wage-type income,” said lawyer Jeremiah Denton.
“He can attach her assets which basically means seize them. He can get to her assets, sell them and take cash.”
Heard’s lawyer, Elain Bredehoft, has already revealed that the actress is not able to afford the full payment, which amounts to $8.35 million.
Meanwhile, the actress may be forced to sell a Tesla Model X, which was gifted to her by Elon Musk in a bid to pay Depp.
