Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Divorce News and Updates: Is Heard Blackmailing Depp For Profit?
After an adverse effect of Johnny Depp's divorce on the movie 'Alice 2' which tumbled down the rabbit hole, Amber Heard claims she was blackmailing Depp.
Amber has (via her lawyer) called claims that she is blackmailing her estranged husband Johnny Depp "unequivocally false."
The actress who claimed Depp as physical abuser has now shown a new face. She conveyed this via Depp's pals, comedian Doug Stanhope that she is lying in a bid to make money out of Depp.
"Allegations against Ms. Heard are absolutely and unequivocally false," Peter Sample, a lawyer for Heard, wrote in a letter to The Wrap. Sample continued that the claim of blackmail by Stanhope "has no basis in reality and is nothing but the typical celebrity muckraking for profit."
"He opened up in the most vulnerable of ways that Amber was now going to leave him," Stanhope wrote. "Threatening to lie about him publicly in any and every possible duplicitous way if he didn't agree to her terms. Blackmail is what I would imagine other people might put it, including the manner in which he is now being vilified."
In his response to The Wrap, Heard's lawyer, Sample, called Stanhope's claim defamatory and "offensive" and demanded the column be retracted.
"It is highly offensive and disturbing that you would choose to publish it in the first place," Sample blasted in his letter.
Despite Heard's claims, Police found no evidence for a report when they were called to the couple's home on May 21.
Depp's divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, wrote in court papers that Heard, who met Depp when they costarred in The Rum Diary in 2009, is "attempting to secure" financial gain in the divorce settlement with her allegations of domestic abuse.
