Johnny Depp’s lawyers have floated a deal with Amber Heard which could spare her from paying millions she owes her ex-husband in damages. <\/p>\n
In their first TV interviews since the bombshell trial concluded, Ben Chew and Camille Vasquez said discussions were ongoing over the verdict and the $ 8.35m the Fairfax court has ordered Ms Heard to pay. <\/p>\n
In the first of two morning interviews, Good Morning America <\/em>host George Stephanopoulos asked if Mr Depp would forego the damages if Ms Heard dropped her appeal. Attorney Ben Chew said the case was ‘never about money’ for Mr Depp.<\/p>\n “You have said that the goal was not to impoverish Ms Heard – is it possible that we could see a settlement where she foregoes the appeal in return for Mr Depp waving any monetary damages?” the host asked the lawyers. <\/p>\n Mr Chew said he couldn’t speak about his private conversations with Mr Depp but noted that the actor testified, and that the lawyers said in their closing statement. <\/p>\n “This was about restoring his reputation and he has done that,” he said.<\/p>\n “So you’re not disclosing any privileges, but it sounds like that’s something that could be on the table but it’s up to Ms Heard?” Mr Stephanopoulos asked. <\/p>\n \u201cWe have to be careful what we say, but this was about Mr Depp’s reputation, that’s what it was about for him,\u201d Mr Chew said. <\/p>\n The lawyers said Mr Depp was \u201cover the moon\u201d when he was told about the verdict. <\/p>\n \u201cIt was like the weight of the world had been taken off his shoulders and I feel that finally after six years he’s gotten his life back,\u201d Mr Chew said. <\/p>\n
