Amber Heard Shockingly Claims Op-Ed Didn't Ruin Johnny Depp's Career— But THIS

Is Amber Heard ever going to get over her defamation loss?

The "Aquaman" star is now going to extraordinary measures to get her way, including a new trial against her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.

She and her team submitted a new motion, claiming that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star is "not entitled" to the $15 million in damages he was awarded since Depp's career was already "ruined" even before she penned the 2018 op-ed for the Washington Post.

Heard's attorneys contended in the 53-page petition obtained by Radar Online, filed weeks after a Virginia-based jury sided with the veteran actor in the $100 million sensational defamation lawsuit, that there is no proof of damage to Depp's image caused by the mother-of-one.

The attorneys also argued that Depp's testimony supported their argument, claiming that another issue is to blame for Depp's career downfall.

According to the motion, "Mr. Depp testified that the damage to his reputation occurred on May 27, 2016 when Ms. Heard got the DVTRO [domestic violence temporary restraining order] - for which he cannot be paid."

Amber Heard's attorneys also used verbatim statements from Depp's lengthy evidence, in which he stated that he was the one who notified the court how the domestic violence allegations stemming from the restraining order in 2016 went via the media.

They also noted that he stated that he had lost "nothing less than everything" when Heard issued the order against him.

The legal team also cited a few headlines as examples of "bad publicity" Johnny Depp received just before Amber Heard's op-ed piece in the Washington Post in 2018.

According to Radar, some of these titles were "A Star in Crisis," "Vodka for Breakfast, 71-Hour Drug Binges," and many more.

"Mr. Depp admitted that these articles were not because of Ms. Heard's Op-Ed (they couldn't have been), but rather, 'all started with Mr. Heard going to - going directly to a court to get a TRO," which the "Edward Scissorhands" actor claimed was the start of the "ball rolling down the hill and gaining momentum," according to the document.

Amber Heard is trying all she can to seek a new trial, even asking the court to interrogate one of the former jurors on the veracity of his identity.
