Amber Heard countersued him earlier this year for $100 million USD and accused him of domestic violence. Reportedly, the court proceedings have been currently postponed from January to May, owing to the concerns regarding the Coronavirus pandemic. Many Hollywood stars like Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis have appeared in the court and have testified in support of Depp.

Disturbing accusations 

The case ran for 2 years in the court and has witnessed disturbing accusations of violence, celebrity affairs, threesomes, the loss of $750 million, and marriage-ending poop attacks. However, in one of the trials, Amber Heard confessed that Johnny Depp is ‘generous, loving and a remarkable man’ when sober.

Explaining the reason behind enduring Johnny's tantrums, Amber mentioned that she was in love with him and had always ‘held out for hope’ during the course of their relationship. To support Amber's claims, her lawyer reportedly presented the text messages that were exchanged between Amber and her mother to the court, in which the actor accused Johnny of being crazy and mentioned that she was heartbroken to fall in love with a man like him. It remains to see, in whose favour the judge will pass his decision.
