Elaine Bredehoft: Amber Heard ‘Absolutely Not’ Able To Pay $10.4M Award To Johnny Depp

FAIRFX, VA. (THECOUNT) — Elaine Bredehoft, the attorney who led Amber Heard’s legal team to a resounding defeat in Heard’s defamation case against Johnny Depp, is saying her client is “absolutely not” able to pay the $10.4 million in damages.

Heard plans to appeal the verdict, Bredehoft said Thursday appearing on TODAY.

Bredehoft appeared to discuss the verdict, where a jury of her peers found the actress guilty of defamation against her ex-husband, Depp. Asked to explain why the jury ruled against her client, Bredhoft contrasted the result to the verdict in Depp’s 2020 defamation suit in the UK against The Sun, where a judge concluded that Heard’s claims of abuse were “substantially true,” reports consequence.

“Well, you know, really what happened here is it’s a tale of two trials. Johnny Depp brought a suit in the UK for the same case,” Bredhoft said. “The burden of proof was easier for him there, The Sun had to actually prove that it was true. And the court found there — and we weren’t allowed to tell the jury this — but the court found that Mr. Depp had committed at least 12 acts of domestic violence, including sexual violence against Amber.”
