While the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard lawsuit continues, the petition launched to remove Heard from his role in Aquaman reached 3 million.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard first met in 2009 in the movie The Rum Diary. During the trial, Johnny Depp expressed their first acquaintance and stated that he felt close to her during the kissing scene in the movie. Johnny Deep divorced his ex-wife Vanessa Paradis in 2012, who is the mother of two children.
Will Amber Heard be removed from the Aquaman movie?
Depp and Heard, who started dating after the divorce, got married in Los Angeles in 2015. 15 months later, Heard filed for divorce, claiming he was abused by Johnny Depp and that he used too much alcohol and drugs.
Denying the rumors about him, Depp settled with Amber Heard in 2016, divorced and paid him $7 million in child support. When the dates showed December 2018, Amber Heard wrote an article in the Washington Post newspaper. In her article, she dealt with women who were exposed to domestic violence. Even though Johnny Depp is not directly mentioned in it, Depp stated that he was hinted and filed a defamation lawsuit.
Two days after the article was shared, Johnny Depp learned that he was removed from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He demanded $50 million, claiming it damaged his career. Amber Heard filed a counterclaim for $100 million when her legal battle to reject the defamation lawsuit against her did not go the way she wanted.
The sequel for DC’s famous series Aquaman has started shooting. In the movie starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard played Mera, Aquaman’s girlfriend. While the defamation lawsuits against him continued, many Johnny Depp fans demanded that Heard be removed from the movie and started a petition. The launched campaign reached almost 3 million.
The fans, who claimed that all this was done to end Johnny Depp’s career in Hollywood, came to the fore with the autographs they collected. This will be one of the biggest campaigns ever done on Change.org. There is no official statement made by DC yet. We will report the developments in the coming days.
