‘Catastrophic’: Johnny Depp’s agent talks about Amber Heard’s op-ed

Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial: Johnny Depp was set to earn an impressive $22.5million for his role in the sixth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise before being dropped from the film. The actor’s agent Jack Whigham testified in Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard Monday, telling the court the actress’s 2018 op-ed was ‘catastrophic’ for his career. Whigham noted that Heard’s piece, published in the Washington Post in December 2018, was ‘rather shocking because it was the first time I’d heard an allegation of sexual abuse.’ Depp, 58, is suing Heard for $50million, claiming she defamed him and destroyed his career after she wrote about being a survivor of domestic violence in the piece. The article did not mention Depp by name, but his lawyers say it was clear Heard, 36, was referencing the Hollywood leading man.
