The Jaw-Dropping Arrangement Amber Heard Made With Johnny Depp In Exchange For Her Silence

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's court battle just got a whole lot more complicated, with each new revelation somehow wilder than the last. 

Weeks into the proceedings, as Sky News notes, Heard's infamous Washington Post editorial about domestic abuse has finally come under scrutiny. Depp's lawyer argued that, despite the fact that he wasn't named in the piece, its release was timed to create as much harm to the actor as possible. 

Likewise, the severed finger incident has come under closer examination, too, as both parties are positioned as the cause of Depp's injury. 

Per The Guardian, the entire courtroom was left speechless (or laughing) after watching a doorman's pre-recorded testimony, which was apparently filmed while he was driving around, vaping, and complaining about being involved in the case. Moreover, the Independent reports that Depp laughed after his bodyguard was asked whether he'd witnessed him urinating in the foyer of his home. (He replied in the negative.)

The case has been surreal, to say the least. Depp is suing Heard for $50 million, alleging that she defamed him by describing the actor as an abuser during their tumultuous relationship. 

Each star is working hard to paint the other as the real villain, with this latest revelation muddying the waters even further.
