Amber Heard: Johnny Depp Defamation Lawsuit ‘Gives Me Great Pain’The actress says she hopes that she and her ex can “move on” after the trial that starts this week. I don't give a damm how she feels...this is about what the court thinks about her claims...can hardly wait for the discovery! Sounds like it gives her great pain bc she knows she was lying. And she just thought ppl would believe her. But now, he got proof of her lying, and now she 'bout to pay for it. This whole story is hilarious. She wasn't thinking about moving on when she spent yrs lying about him. she literally just accused him in public of abusing her despite her admitting on videotape that she in fact abused him to the point she chopped the tip of his finger off! After this court case it she signed an NDA stating that she would never talk about the case
