Johnny’s lawyers say there is clear evidence that after Amber’s Op-Ed appeared in the Washington Post in 2018, he was out of a job … he didn’t appear in a single studio production until October 2020. That alone, the lawyers say, argues the $10 million verdict. In fact, Depp’s legal documents refer to one of Johnny’s representatives negotiating a deal for the 6th Pirates of the Caribbean installment for $22.5 million. Just before the Op-Ed was published, the producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, was all in, saying he really wanted Johnny. As you know, after the Op-Ed, Johnny was persona non grata in production. The lawyers say that Johnny proved with experts during the trial that his real loss reached much more than 10 million dollars … it was more than 40 million dollars. Long story short … Johnny’s lawyers say Amber is grasping at straws. TMZ broke the story … Amber filed legal docs last week claiming one of the jurors was impaneled. Her legal team says a man was subpoenaed, but someone with the same name from his home — the man’s son — took the summons to court and became a juror, and that, her team says, should warrant a new trial . Johnny’s team responded… Amber could have objected at the start of the trial, but she didn’t, so tough luck for her.
