Despite the fact that Johnny Depp recently emerged victorious from the trial between him and his ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp must appear in court again, reports the American website Entertainment Tonight.
The background is a lawsuit from 2018. In the lawsuit, Depp is accused of having ended up in a heated fight with prosecutor Gregory Brooks.
Brooks and Depp worked together on the set for the drama film City of Lies, where the former worked as a location manager.
Must have offered 100,000
according to the sitethe alleged fight is said to have taken place after Brooks forwarded a message to Depp that they were running out of time to film.
According to the lawsuit, Brooks claims that Depp attacked him. In addition, Depp is said to have offered Brooks $ 100,000 to hit him in the face.
The location manager believes that he suffered physical and mental pain as a result of the alleged incident.
Refuse
The lawsuit also alleges that Depp’s security guards had to pull the actor out of the fight. Depp’s breath must also have smelled of alcohol, Brooks believes.

Won against the ex-wife
After six weeks of court hearings and intense media coverage, the jury had drawn its conclusion. They answered “yes” to questions that had to be answered to decide whether the article by Amber Heard that was published in the Washington Post was defamatory.
In the article, Heard made allegations that Depp had exposed her to physical violence over a long period of time.

The jury considered that the article was both erroneous and malicious – which is the requirement for it to be legally considered defamatory.
– The jury has given me my life back. The truth always wins, is Johnny Depp’s first reaction, through a post on Instagram.
The jury awarded Depp a total of $ 15 million. However, they also found that Depp’s statements had been defamatory of Heard, and awarded her $ 2 million for one of the points in her lawsuit.
This means that Heard must pay 13 million dollars, or just over 130 million Norwegian kroner in compensation to the ex-husband.
The decision was unanimous, and they came to an agreement after a day and a half of discussions.
