Why Johnny Depp appealed the libel case against Amber Heard, according to his attorney

In a recent interview, Johnny Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez discussed the actor’s decision to appeal the results of his defamation trial. She claimed that if Amber Heard had not insisted on continuing to “litigate this matter,” Johnny would have “moved on” from the trial. As the case progresses, Camille continued, Johnny’s legal team has a strategy to “protect” its “client’s interests.”

A 2018 article that Johnny Depp’s ex-wife Amber wrote for The Washington Post about her experiences as a victim of domestic violence sparked a lawsuit, according to his attorneys, because it falsely accused him of being the abuser. Amber had submitted an appeal last week against the $10.35 million settlement sum that had been given to Johnny in a judgement from their defamation trial on June 1.

Camille, who rose to fame during the prominent trial, recently spoke candidly about the ongoing legal drama involving Johnny and Amber with CBS Morning host Gayle King. Is it safe to assume that none of you would have appealed if she (Amber) hadn’t challenged the verdict in the defamation case? Would you have changed course? Yes, that is a very fair statement, Camille said in response, adding, “We have to protect our client’s interests.”

According to Johnny’s attorney, the actor will be “protected” as long as the lawsuit is active. The attorney responded to Gayle’s query about Camille’s ability to recover while “both sides are still in court arguing,” saying, “It’s a pretty standard legal procedure. Our only wish is for the court to uphold the decision, which we believe was the correct decision, and permit both parties to proceed.

The defamation case was recently heard in a US court, and Amber’s attorneys recently claimed that the court “made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the First Amendment” (of the US constitution). The following day, Johnny also submitted a legal notice to challenge the $2 million judgement against him that Amber’s defamation case jury had imposed.

“I went very dark for reasons I’d rather not explain, but I didn’t have a lot of light and life within me,” Jolie revealed, adding, “Your light’s dim,” as per E! News.

The actor, who is known for her work both on-screen and in humanitarian efforts, further explained that during this period, she “also just needed to be home more,” which limited her ability to take on long-term projects.

Jolie, who shares six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt, spoke candidly about the practical and emotional factors that influenced her choices during that time. “The choice of what to work on and when was not a creative choice, often, the last few years, but sometimes the practical choice,” she said, reflecting on the challenges of balancing personal and professional demands.

Jolie’s time away from acting was largely marked by intense personal challenges, including ongoing legal battles with Pitt over their divorce. These years of turbulence had a profound impact on the actress, who described Maria as a turning point in her journey toward healing. “Maria was the beginning of starting to come alive again,” Jolie shared, adding, “I needed a lot of kind people around me to hold my hand.”

While her focus on family and personal recovery kept Jolie away from acting, she remained involved in other creative projects. In recent years, she co-produced the Broadway musical The Outsiders, which premiered in April 2024 and directed the war drama Without Blood, which was well-received at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.

In addition to her own journey, Jolie has seen several of her children follow in her footsteps within the entertainment industry.

Her daughter Vivienne worked as her assistant on The Outsiders production, while sons Maddox and Pax were production assistants for Maria.
