Watch Live: Actor Johnny Depp to take the stand in Virginia libel suit against ex-wife Amber Heard
CBSN
Johnny Depp is set to take the stand Tuesday in his libel suit against ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp filed suit against Heard over an op-ed piece she wrote in The Washington Post in 2018 in which she called herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse."
Depp isn't mentioned by name in the article, but he has claimed in the suit that Heard's allegations in the article directly link him the person she claims physically abused her, according to the Associated Press. The actor has consistently denied the allegation against him.
Now, he is expected to testify on Tuesday, again denying Heard's claim, but this time in front of a pool of carefully selected jurors. He is suing for $50 million. Heard has countersued, claiming Depp directed his lawyers to defame her in the legal process.
