Amber Heard has asked a Virginia judge to force ex-husband Johnny Depp to finally sit down for an elongated examination with her attorneys.
"Defendant is forced to bring this motion after extensive efforts to obtain the deposition of Plaintiff, even after providing a two-month Notice of Deposition, asking for locations and dates for Mr. Depp prior to his filming, seeking discovery to ascertain Mr. Depp's exact filming schedule, and finally being told that the Plaintiff in this action, suing Defendant for $50 million, will not make himself available for deposition until the filming of Fantastic Beasts is complete, sometime late February 2021, or possibly later," lawyers for the star state, reported Deadline.
Heard is once again trying to get the case dismissed or seeking an assurance that Depp shows up "for three successive days in counsel for Defendant's offices in Virginia on or before October 30, 2020 on dates and times agreeable to counsel for Defendant."
A hearing has been set for 9 October before Fairfax County, Virginia, Circuit Court Chief Judge Bruce White on the matter, with another hearing on sanctions against Depp's main lawyer Adam Waldman scheduled for 23 October.
