The defamation suit Johnny Depp took out against his ex wife Amber Heard was scheduled to on May 7th, 2021. But, probably due to Covid, the trial date has been pushed back to April 11th, 2022.
Now, it's possible that Johnny will get word back about his appeal to overturn the verdict in his libel suit against NGN and The Sun tabloid before he even sets foot in the courtroom for his defamation suit against Heard. He might be vindicated on the British front first.
Heard has been worried in the past about how the defamation suit will affect her filming schedule. But if she's found to have lied in a British court, and if Australia has their way about her lying in one of their courts, her filming schedule might be the last thing she'll have to worry about.
Instead, the courts might have to figure out how to het her from jail to the courtroom. That could make for some interesting travel plans.
Somehow, I doubt that the flight they'd put her on would have Champaign and caviar.
What do you think? Will Heard go to jail for lying to a British High Court? Or will she get out of it somehow?
