The agent testified that the December 2018 piece in the Washington Post had a 'catastrophic' impact on Depp's career.

Actor Johnny Depp, left, and his attorney Camille Vasquez appear in the courtroom at the Fairfax County Circuit Court in Fairfax, Va., Tuesday, April 26, 2022. Actor Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife actress Amber Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court after she wrote an op-ed piece in The Washington Post in 2018 referring to herself as a"public figure representing domestic abuse."

Heard's side has yet to begin offering evidence, and she is expected to tell her own side of the story later in the trial. In the fall of 2018, he made US$1mil for"Waiting for the Barbarians," an independent film, and he was set to receive US$3mil for"Minamata," another independent film, to shoot in early 2019."It was a first-person account coming from the victim," he said."It became a death-knell catastrophic thing for Mr. Depp in the Hollywood community."

"It was trending badly in the late fall on behalf of Disney," Whigham testified."But Jerry Bruckheimer and I were lobbying to make it happen, and so we had hope. And it became clear to me in early 2019 that it was over." He noted that the piece was timed to the release"Aquaman," in which Heard starred."This was the height of her fame. She used it in that moment to call Hollywood out... They heard that loud and clear."

Depp's attorneys also called Douglas Bania, an expert on intellectual property, who had studied Depp's Google results and Q Scores. Bania testified that Depp's image was generally positive before Heard made her allegations in 2016, but that after that -- and after the 2018 opinion piece --"the public perception of Mr. Depp has been damaged."
