The court case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard made headlines in 2022. In the end, the former won the conflict. He recently appeared to have made fun of his ex-wife in an interview.
In 2022, the media was swept up in the widely publicized court dispute between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Most people were aware of it, and the case gained enough notoriety to be turned into a three-part Netflix documentary called Depp V. Heard. Even though Johnny Depp has been a part of the entertainment industry for more than three decades and has been in some of the biggest blockbusters, this trial also brought great attention to him.
Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard in March 2019 about an op-ed she published for the Washington Post in 2018. Depp sued Heard for defamation and requested damages of USD $50 million. Heard responded by filing counterclaims against Depp for damages totaling USD $100 million.
In a recent interview, Johnny Depp makes a subtle jab at his ex-wife, Amber Heard
Johnny Depp, a well-known Hollywood actor, maintained his composure and insisted in his innocence throughout the court case. But in his most recent speech, he makes a subtle dig at Amber Heard, his ex-girlfriend. When speaking of Dior standing by him, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor appeared to be making reference to the Heard incident. Depp discussed the brand’s enduring fidelity in a South China Morning Post interview. He stated, For me, it’s become a personal partnership, a collaboration. I’ve been working with them for a while now. Of course, you develop a personal relationship with folks and keep close to them. They stuck with me through every single second, and that ups the stakes quite a lot for me, they trusted me, they believed in me, and they continued. That gesture is so noble and so rare!

One of Johnny Depp’s well-known roles was asked of him to leave
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp both halted all professional endeavors around the time of their respective trials. Even after being asked to leave his role as “Grindelwald” in Fantastic Beasts, Johnny Depp kept his position as the face of Dior’s Sauvage men’s fragrance. The company even received a great deal of criticism for continuing to sponsor Johnny Depp. He continued by complimenting their loyalty, I’ve never been more touched or prouder to have had that support. Nobody does that, and the fact that Dior has, I thank every single person involved in making the decision to trust me and stick with me all the way from the bottom to the top and back down. I will forever be in their debt, I will forever be loyal.
According to Variety, the 60-year-old actor inked a massive USD 20 million contract with Dior in May 2023 to continue serving as the face of their Sauvage men’s fragrance. Johnny Depp has not yet signed any significant Hollywood deals, despite the anticipation of his fans for his formal comeback. Amber Heard will next be seen in the Aquaman sequel, which is a 2018 science fiction adventure.
