“This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard. She will not be silenced. Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior. But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self-destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team” said her lawyer Eric M. George in a statement.

Johnny described her allegations as “an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity” to “advance her career” in the lawsuit.
