No striking out of Johnny Depp’s defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard.

A judge rejected Amber Heard’s request to dismiss the defamation case brought by her ex-husband Johnny Depp for allegedly ruining his reputation.

“We are pleased at Chief Judge Azcarate’s ruling to continue with the trial after [Heard’s attorney] Mr. Rottenborn failed to convince the court that there was reason to dismiss the case, we stand confident in the future of the case and for the truth to be continued to be shared.” a spokesperson for Depp told E! News.

In 2018, Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington’s Post titled “Amber Heard: I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.” 

Although Heard did not name Depp in the article, he accused her of defamation of character for detailing alleged domestic abuse in the op-ed, which he describes as an “elaborate hoax.” 

Depp is arguing that the op-ed cost him a $22.5 million deal for a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film and a loss of $40 million total since the article’s publication, his spokesperson told E! News.
