Depp is suing Heard over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." His lawyers say he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name.

Last year, Depp told The Sunday Times that the film industry was boycotting him amid the domestic abuse allegations by his former wife and The Rum Diary co-star as his latest movie, Minamata, was yet to get a release in the US.
