Actress Amber Heard asked a judge Thursday to dismiss a $50 million defamation lawsuit her ex-husband Johnny Depp filed over an op-ed about domestic violence she wrote in The Washington Post, and provided new evidence toward her allegations of abuse. "Johnny Depp physically and verbally abused Amber Heard," her attorney Eric George said in a statement. "The only way for Amber Heard to sustain her hoax is with more lies," Depp attorney Adam Waldman said in an email. The lawsuit states Depp, 55, has suffered financial losses because of the accusations, including being dropped from his role as Capt. Heard first accused Depp of domestic violence in May 2016, the year after they were married.
