A jury is set to hear closing arguments in Johnny Depp’s high-profile libel lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard.
Actor Johnny Depp reacts as he leaves for a break in the courtroom in the Fairfax County Circuit Courthouse in Fairfax, Va., Thursday, May 26, 2022. Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court after she wrote an op-ed piece in The Washington Post in 2018 referring to herself as a"public figure representing domestic abuse." Each side will have two hours to summarize their case in a trial that has stretched on for six weeks.
Depp says he never struck Heard and that she concocted the abuse allegations to gain an advantage in divorce proceedings. Heard testified about more than a dozen episodes of physical and sexual assault that she said Depp inflicted on her. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
