For this reason, Johnny Depp’s lawyers rejoiced at Amber Heard’s Kate Moss mention

After Amber Heard mentioned British model and Johnny Depp’s ex Kate Moss in her testimony earlier this week, Johnny and his legal team were seen celebrating. Many people have speculated as to why this reaction occurred, but now a source close to the legal team has revealed the truth.

Amber Heard repeated an allegation about Johnny concerning Kate during her court testimony on Monday. She claimed that during their relationship in the 1990s, Johnny had pushed Kate down the stairs. Amber claimed this in a British court case in 2020, as well.

Many people were perplexed by Johnny and his legal team’s joyous response. “Amber mentioned an ex of Johnny’s that clearly she felt was not supportive of him, which couldn’t be further from the truth,” a source close to Johnny Depp told the New York Post. According to the source, Johnny and his lawyer Benjamin Chew made the gesture as a ‘celebratory acknowledgement.’

Legal experts argue that Amber mentioning Kate here allows Johnny’s team to call on the supermodel to refute the testimony, thus casting doubt on Amber’s credibility. “[Kate Moss] is still allegedly friends with Johnny, and her testimony was previously barred because it was not as relevant. “By bringing up Kate Moss, [Amber] potentially opened the door for [Johnny’s team] to call [Kate] on as an impeachment witness,” California entertainment lawyer Mitra Ahouraian told the New York Post.

On Monday, Amber was reminiscing about a fight she had with Johnny in March 2015, which also involved her sister Whitney Heard, who was attempting to protect her. She said, “Johnny swings at (Whitney) with her back to the stairwell. I don’t think twice, I don’t think twice — I just think of Kate Moss and stairs. I swung at him as well. I hadn’t landed a blow in my entire relationship with Johnny. And I hit him square in the face for the first time. He didn’t even try to push my sister down the stairs.”

Johnny and his lead attorney Ben Chew smiled as soon as Amber said ‘Kate Moss and the stairs,’ as seen in a YouTube video. Ben turned to face his teammates and pumped his fist. He then turned to Johnny, who was seated next to him, and addressed him.

Amber first claimed that Johnny pushed Kate down the stairs during the trial of Johnny’s failed lawsuit against The Sun for calling him a ‘wife-beater.’ Amber had claimed at the time that she had heard from two sources that Johnny had pushed Kate down a stairwell while they were dating in the 1990s. At the trial, Johnny’s lawyers claimed that this story was a complete fabrication. Johnny and Kate were together from 1994 to 1997.

The ongoing trial in Virginia between Johnny and Amber is based on an article Amber wrote for the Washington Post in 2018. Amber had mentioned being a domestic abuse survivor, but not by the name of Johnny. The implication, according to Johnny, harmed his career. While filming The Rum Diary, Johnny and Amber met. They married in 2015 but divorced after less than two years. Amber has claimed that her ex-husband subjected her to physical and sexual abuse. Johnny has denied all of the allegations, claiming that it was Amber who abused him.

NewJeans’ Hanni gets reported as Illegal immigrant to customs amid ADOR contract termination: Report

NewJeans’ Hanni gets reported as Illegal immigrant to customs amid ADOR contract termination: Report

NewJeans has ended its contract with ADOR, leading to potential legal troubles for member Hanni regarding her visa status.
NewJeans members have recently terminated their contract with their management agency, ADOR, though the agency maintains that the contract remains valid. While the group is now operating independently, at least from their perspective, new troubles are looming. On December 20, 2024, 10Asia reported that NewJeans’ member Hanni was reported as an illegal immigrant to South Korean Customs.

NewJeans’ Hanni reported as an Illegal immigrant

According to the reports, an unidentified individual filed a complaint, demanding her deportation. Hanni holds dual citizenship requiring her to renew her visa in South Korea annually. Earlier, rumors circulated about Hanni’s visa expiring soon. However, ADOR previously stated they were preparing to extend her visa as usual, since they don’t acknowledge the contract termination. This suggests no immediate visa issues for Hanni or the group.

However, the situation has become more complicated since NewJeans publicly announced their contract termination. Legal experts believe that if the group continues to operate independently, Hanni’s visa, which was initially granted through ADOR, could become invalid.

Out of the five members, Daniel has dual citizenship in Korea and Australia, so she’s all good. But Hanni, who holds dual citizenship in Australia and Vietnam, is definitely considered a foreigner and needs to get visa extensions every year.

If Hanni’s contract with Adore was indeed terminated on the 29th of last month, her visa would no longer be valid and she could be considered an illegal resident. Under the Immigration Control Act, she should have left South Korea by the 13th of this month. Since Adore claims the contract is still valid, it’s unlikely they would consent to a visa transfer under the act that allows people to change workplaces without needing a new visa, but the agency they work with must agree to the change.

What is an E6 visa in South Korea?

Foreign entertainers in South Korea typically rely on E-6 visas, sponsored by their management agencies. These visas allow them to work in the country. E6 is typically issued to entertainers, artists, and athletes. However, if the contract with the agency ends, the visa can become invalid.

Since NewJeans has announced its intention to leave ADOR, Hanni may need to find a new agency to sponsor her visa or face the possibility of having to leave South Korea.

Hanni has the option to renew her E-6 visa by signing with a new agency; however, immigration law requires that she obtain approval from her previous agency first. At the same time, HYBE, the parent company of ADOR, has been in conflict with the former CEO of its subsidiary, Min Hee Jin, for several months, which has unfortunately impacted NewJeans. Since ADOR is disputing the termination and pursuing legal action, it is unlikely that they will grant the necessary approval for Hanni’s visa renewal.

South Korean immigration law also requires individuals to apply for a visa change or secure a new contract within 15 days of termination, which has already passed. The last option for Hanni is to leave South Korea and apply for a new E-6 visa abroad.
