Amber Heard broke pledge to donate all of Johnny Depp divorce settlement to charity
AMBER Heard failed to honour a public promise to hand her £5.6million divorce settlement from Johnny Depp to charity after hitting hard times, a court heard.
The actress announced in 2016 she would split the money evenly between the America Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Yesterday, during the pair's explosive defamation case, it emerged she'd only paid ACLU £280,000 directly.
It also received £80,000 from Depp in her name, another £280,000 from an unnamed donor and £401,000 on her behalf from her then boyfriend, billionaire Elon Musk.
The ACLU's Terence Dougherty said they "reached out" for more in 2019 but "learned that she was having financial difficulties".
Depp, 58, is suing Heard, 36, over a newspaper article in which she described herself as a victim of domestic violence. He denies any abuse.
She is countersuing for £78million. Case continues in Virginia.
