A Virginia judge allows Amber Heard to partially proceed on counterclaims, although not the one that targeted her ex-husband for allegedly deploying bots against her.

Heard alleges that her former husband has deployed social media bots against her in alleged violation of Virginia's Computer Crimes Act. She says he's directed a concerted effort to tarnish her career and interfere with endorsements and acting gigs as retaliation for what she has publicly claimed about their troubled marriage.

Although Depp can't now prevail on his anti-SLAPP motion , he does at least succeed in paring Heard's countersuit. Heard can't pursue a declaratory judgment of being immune over statements in the op/ed as the Virginia judge deems this claim to be duplicative of her defense to Depp's own suit and not worthy of jurisdiction. And the actress loses her claim over the alleged smear campaign on social media.

To the argument that the statement is nonetheless privileged as a"fair and accurate account" of a legal proceeding, the judge finds otherwise."Although much of what Mr. Depp states is also contained in his Complaint, the statements do not appear to have been made in the context of attempting to recount litigation," writes White."Instead, Mr. Depp makes factual assertions that do not fairly and accurately summarize the litigation that has taken place.
