After losing his libel trial against the publisher of U.K. tabloid The Sun, protesting the paper’s use of the term “wife-beater” and being asked to resign from the Fantastic Beasts movies (while still collecting a paycheck), the L’s keep coming for ol’ Johnny Depp. According to Deadline, a Virginia judge refused Depp’s request to throw ex-wife Amber Heard’s $100 million countersuit out of court.

, in September of last year, Heard launched a $100-million countersuit against Depp, alleging the actor orchestrated “a false and defamatory smear campaign” against her. Depp attempted to have it tossed, but Fairfax County Judge Bruce White was not having it.“[Depp and his lawyer Adam Waldman’s public remarks] imply that Ms. Heard lied and perjured herself when she appeared before a court in 2016 to obtain a temporary restraining order against Mr. Depp.

He continued, “Although Mr. Depp’s statements can be understood as their opinion of what occurred, these statements nevertheless imply that Mr. Depp did not abuse Ms. Heard. These statements must survive demurrer because whether Mr. Depp abused Ms. Heard is a fact that is capable of bring proven true or false.”

Jezebel, as a feminist website, your decision to support someone who has abused countless women and stolen another woman’s rape story is disappointing.

Really, why are none of you reporting on the evidence coming out that she did not donate any money to the Childrens Hospital of LA? Never mind that she swore under oath in court and in written testimonies and articles in the press that she did donate it? Where's those reports?

Really HE deserves better- not her!!!! JusticeForJohnnyDepp AmberHeardIsAnAbuser

Excuse me? I think the sick children deserve better, after they were promised $3.5M by an evil woman who only used them for PR?! And lied to the whole world and UNDER OATH about it. Tell me again, who deserves better JusticeForJohhnyDepp AmberHeardisAGoldDigger

Turd deserve the jail

Heard and her false accusations need to be thrown out the window.

Lol please let me corrected your tweet : « DEPP deserves better ». Heard is the abuser so she have to face the circonstances of her actions ... JusticeForJohnnyDepp

no. JusticeForJohnnyDepp

She's not the victim, he is. JusticeForJohnnyDepp

smear part was thrown out when the judge made it clear that amber did not prove Depp orchestrated the online campaign nor did he buy Bots for twitter or on twitter. most of her counterclaim was thrown out and the few currently allowed could get thrown out at later.
