The life of Johnny Depp became, in recent years,
a veritable judicial maze
in which the actor faces lawsuits related to his conflictive divorce from the model and actress Amber Heard.
In that back and forth of cross accusations, now there was a good one for Johnny Depp.
A New York judge ordered the Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
to produce
documents
proving it received a donation
from actress Amber Heard.
Those documents are part of the agreement you made when you divorced Deep.
The lawsuit that the actor started a few months ago has to do with the fact that Depp distrusts that
the amount agreed in the divorce that was destined for this non-profit American institution, actually reached its destination
.
At last he smiles.

A figure that they did not want to reveal
However, the Union for Civil Liberties of America refused to publicly reveal if the actress actually paid them their corresponding part of the aforementioned amount, something that
must
now
be done, by court decision.
The
Pirates of the Caribbean
actor's attorneys
filed a petition in the New York Supreme Court last May for the ACLU to deliver documents that they have requested, and which they had denied.
Those writings should state that Heard fulfilled
his promise to divide the seven million dollars he received as part of his divorce
in 2016, as she claims and which the actor mistrusts.

How is the agreement
Under the divorce settlement, she would donate the money to the ACLU and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Depp wanted this information to be used in the $ 50 million defamation complaint filed against Heard, after she wrote an editorial on domestic violence in the
Washington Post
in 2018
alluding to her relationship with the actor.
Heard stated that she has not "been dishonest"
with her donations to the ACLU and the Children's Hospital and explained that she had said that she would pay those seven million dollars over ten years.

Now, Judge Arthur Engoron gave way to 23 of the 24 requests that the actor made in the motion, so the civil rights organization will have to present evidence of the contribution made by Heard, according to the British newspaper
Daily Mail
.
According to the decision, "the ACLU has not been able to demonstrate that the requested information is completely irrelevant" and orders that it comply with the claims "with the exception of documents related to Heard's role as a brand ambassador for the ACLU," it says. the newspaper.
This ruling in favor of the actor, in the United States, comes after
a legal setback in England
, where the British Court of Appeal denied Depp the possibility of appealing the ruling on his lawsuit to
The Sun
newspaper
. In addition, the actor maintains another similar complaint, for defamation, against Heard in the United States for his publication in the
Washington Post
.
All
this judicial war has greatly affected the career of Depp
, 58, since neither Disney, his former production company as the protagonist of
Pirates of the Caribbean
, nor Warner Bros, want to have anything to do with an actor accused of sexist violence and that He has also publicly acknowledged the abusive use of drugs and alcohol.
And for now, he has no work project in sight.
