Legal experts address Johnny Depp’s chances of winning ‘difficult’ Amber Heard defamation case

Legal experts shed light on Johnny Depp’s ‘logical chances’ of winning in the defamation case against Amber Heard.

Family attorney Chris Melcher made these revelations, according to Yahoo.

There he explained, “Johnny has demonstrated that Amber was the dominant aggressor in the relationship which included acts of physical violence against him.

“He described how she threw a bottle of vodka at him which severed the tip of his finger, that she snubbed out a lit cigarette on his face and punched him in the face. He showed photographs of these injuries.”

Now, however, “Johnny needs to prove that she made a false statement about him in the Washington Post piece. He did not do a good job pointing out specific statements in the article that he believes are false.”

“Amber did not directly say in the article that Johnny hit her. She portrayed herself as a victim of domestic violence and claimed that she faced backlash when she spoke up about it. Amber placed herself in a false light but that may not be enough to count as defamation.”
