Johnny Depp's $50 Million Defamation Lawsuit Against Amber Heard Delayed - Find Out Why!

Johnny Depp‘s defamation lawsuit against ex Amber Heard is on hold for a little longer.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star did not meet the November 15 deadline to produce all of the court-ordered records related to his drug and alcohol use, meaning that the jury trial has been postponed by six months, Deadline reported on Thursday (November 28).

Instead of moving forward on February 3, 2020, the trial will begin on August 3, 2020.

The judge cited “good cause shown by both sides,” agreeing to the motion from Amber, although her team reportedly only wanted an additional 60 days, not the approximately 180 day delay.

It’s worth noting that Johnny is set to tour with his band Hollywood Vampires beginning on August 15, 2020, and it could see his lawyers asking for another date change.
