The defamation lawsuit that Johnny Depp filed against Amber Heard resulted in Amber, the ‘Aquaman’ star, paying her ex-partner one million dollars.
The lawsuit and the ensuing trial attracted significant attention, spreading speculation about Depp’s plans for the large payment.
Following the media trial, Amber Heard relocated to Madrid, distancing herself from the Hollywood media glare that had intensified her critics. However, Heard’s name has re-emerged in the news due to Depp’s decisions regarding the lawsuit money.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s lawsuit attention bring back into focus Heard’s announcement in 2016 that she would donate the seven million dollars she received after her divorce to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), an unfulfilled pledge.
In contrast to Heard’s unfulfilled pledge, Johnny Depp intends to distribute the million dollars he received from the lawsuit among five different organizations.
Daily Louds states each organization will receive a 200,000-dollar donation from Depp: Make-A-Film Foundation, The Painted Turtle, Red Feather, Tetiaroa Society, and Amazonia Fund Alliance.
The decision by the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean star draws favorable comparisons from fans, particularly considering the ongoing criticism of Heard’s previous donation pledge.
