Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s legal battle does not seem to end anytime soon. The former couple’s court case has taken yet another sordid turn as the Aquaman actress lost the defamation lawsuit filed by the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor. Now, as per the latest reports, Amber’s lawyers have filed a motion before the Virginia court to dismiss the aforementioned defamation trial verdict along with Johnny Depp's entire defamation case against her, claiming that he has “no evidence.”
Court House News quoted the brief submitted by the Aquaman actress' legal team that states, “Mr. Depp’s team proceeded solely on defamation by implication theory, abandoning any claims that Ms Heard’s statements were actually false. Ms Heard was unaware of the headline of her 2018 article and never even became aware of the headline until Mr. Depp filed the lawsuit against her.” ALSO READ | WHAT!

In their response, Johnny Depp's lawyer, Ben Chew, simply said, “It's what we expected, just longer, no more substantive.” Terse, to the point and funny.
The latest report comes after Johnny Depp filed a defamation lawsuit as his image took a severe beating following Amber Heard’s allegations. This ultimately led to him losing out and even being fired from big Hollywood projects, his divorce battle with Amber Heard has been an eye-popping revelation, with most of the evidence and witnesses clearly pointing out to her being the aggressor, instigator and downright vile human being.
