Amber Heard’s claim that she gave her seven million US-dollar (£5.5 million) divorce settlement to charity was a “calculated and manipulative lie”, Johnny Depp’s lawyers have told the Court of Appeal. The judge found that an April 2018 column calling Mr Depp a “wife beater” was “substantially true”. But, Mr Caldecott said, the hospital wrote to Mr Depp’s business adviser in 2019 to say Ms Heard had not made “any payments”. They also argue “the judge should have analysed the extent to which Ms Heard’s evidence undermined her credibility in relation to her allegations of physical assault/injury”. The actor’s 50 million dollar (£35 million) US case against Ms Heard was recently delayed until April 2022.
