Many wonder why Johnny Depp took such a risk as he waged a new war against his ex-wife Amber Heard. The new trial came less than two years after Depp lost the libel case against the Sun, for calling him a “wife-beater” in response to Amber Heard’s charges of domestic violence. This never-ending spite has made Johnny Depp pay a huge price. After losing the libel action case against The Sun in England, Depp has now charged Heard with defamation in a court in Virginia. With both sides mudslinging accusations at each other of repeated domestic violence, it goes without saying that it was unquestionably a tumultuous marriage.
