ACLU Lawyer Says Amber Heard Withheld Half of $3.5 Million Pledge From Johnny Depp Divorce Settlement
Amber Heard has so far failed to deliver on roughly half of her pledge to the ACLU of $3.5 million, an amount that represented half of her $7 million divorce settlement with Johnny Depp, according to testimony Thursday from the org’s head lawyer and COO.Terence Dougherty, ACLU general counsel and chief operating officer, told the court in a video deposition from December that Heard has donated $1.3 million – though not all of it has come directly from her.Dougherty said Heard has directly paid $350,000, ex-husband Depp paid $100,000, and another $500,000 was sent from Elon Musk, Heard’s one-time boyfriend. Dougherty said another $350 came from an anonymous donor, who the ACLU believes to be Heard.“We understood that the other half [of the $7 million settlement] was going to a children’s hospital in Los Angeles,” Dougherty testified.The ACLU donation was to be made in installments over a 10-year period.
