Johnny Depp is donating the settlement money he got from his ex-wife Amber Heard to charity. Depp will donate the $1 million settlement money he received from Amber to five different charities, including $200,000 to one charity. This charity works for the treatment of sick children.
According to a CNN report, Johnny Depp has chosen five charities to donate the settlement fund, including Make-A-Film Foundation, The Painted Turtle, Red Feather, Marlon Brando’s Tetiaroa Society Charity and Amazonia Fund Alliance. All of them work for the education and health of the children.
Married After Dating For 5 Years
Johnny Depp and co-star Amber Heard entered a relationship while shooting for The Rum Diary (2011). After dating for several years, they had a secret wedding in 2015 at their Los Angeles home. Amber filed for divorce from Johnny on May 23, 2016, during which Amber accused Depp of physical abuse and assault while under the influence of drugs.
The legal battle Lasted For 4 Years.
Depp then filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit in March 2019 against a Washington Post article written by Amber. Johnny’s name was not mentioned in this article, but when this story came in front of the world, this matter made many headlines. In return, Amber also filed a case for 100 million dollars. After this, in the counter-law suit, Johnny rejected these allegations and said that it was not him but Ambar who used to beat him. Johnny said Amber is making baseless allegations against him out of greed for money.
Court Found Amber Heard’s Allegations False
After a long battle, Johnny Depp won a defamation case against his ex Amber Heard. The court ordered Depp to pay $15 million to Amber Heard in damages for defamation. In this, $10 million was asked as compensation, while $5 million was asked to be paid as a penalty. Now Depp has given this money to charity.
