Amber Heard’s Lawyer Elaine Bredhoft Reveals She Is Unable To Pay $10 Million As Compensatory Damages To Johnny Depp

The verdict of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial was announced and the jury said that both have defamed each other. They ordered Heard to pay $10 million to Depp as compensatory damages and also ordered him to pay her $2 million for the damages caused to her. In a recent interview, Amber Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Charlson Bredehoft, has said that she is unable to pay that much to Johnny Depp.

In an exclusive interview with Today, Elaine Bredehoft has said that Amber is ‘absolutely not able to’ pay the $10 million in charges to Depp. Elaborating more about the verdict, she also went on to say that the Pirates Of The Caribbean star’s team of lawyers ‘demonised’ Amber and also was able to suppress evidence that was of paramount importance to the case.

Elaine further said that the jury was ‘confused’ because ‘several things were allowed in the court when they should not have been’. Calling the verdict a ‘setback’, she said that it sends a ‘horrible message’ because a victim will not be believed unless they do not ‘pull their phones out’ and record their partner beating them.

The defamation trial went on for six weeks in Virginia and it all began after Amber Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post in 2018 wherein she wrote that she was a domestic abuse survivor. In her article, she did not mention Johnny Depp’s name but it was clearly implied so.
