Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp has reportedly launched a new multi-million dollar court case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
In July, Depp, 57, and Heard, 34, appeared before London’s High Court for a lengthy libel case taken by the Pirates of the Caribbean star against The Sun newspaper over allegations that he physically abused his wife of two years.
Heard had previously claimed that Depp was abusive and violent towards her during their marriage, allegations which the actor denies.
In addition, Depp is embroiled in a case he took against Heard in the State of Virginia over a column she wrote in the Washington Post in 2018, in which she described herself as a ‘public figure representing domestic abuse’.
The Mail on Sunday has cited a source close to Heard as saying that a further multi-million dollar court case could be on the cards, stating: ‘It seems that [Johnny] will stop at nothing to ruin her.
‘No matter what the outcome [of the libel action against The Sun], Amber is preparing for round two, but if Johnny wins his case against The Sun then that’s it, he will go and go.
‘This could go on for years to come.’
It is expected that the verdict of Depp’s libel case against The Sun could be announced as early as next week.
During the lengthy trial, salacious details were revealed about the couple’s tumultuous marriage as allegations of physical and verbal abuse were made on both sides.
The pair originally met while filming The Rum Diaries in 2011, and married in 2015.
