Amber Heard unable to donate divorce money due to her $6 million legal fees: Attorney

Amber Heard legal team presented their closing arguments in the defamation case her against by Johnny Depp on Friday

On Friday, Amber Heard’s legal team presented their closing arguments in the defamation case brought against her by ex-husband Johnny Depp, with attorney Elaine Bredehoft saying that her client was unable to donate pledged funds due to the high legal fees.

Bredehoft said in her statement to The New York Post that Heard had been compelled to spend more than $6 million in legal expenses to her lawyers in the six years after her divorce from Depp.

She also alleged that the Aquaman actress was unable to make the full $7 million donation she had promised to the ACLU and a children’s hospital following the divorce settlement because of the legal bills.

Heard has paid ‘extraordinarily costly’ legal bills since Depp sued her and’started a smear campaign against her,’ according to Bredehoft.

For the uninitiated, a former acquaintance of Heard’s sister, Whitney Henriquez, testified earlier this week that Heard failed to pay the $3.5 million pledged to the children’s hospital.

Witness Jennifer Howell acknowledged in a pre-recorded deposition that Tesla creator Elon Musk made a $250,000 gift to the charity Art of Elyseum on Heard’s behalf.

The Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA), on the other hand, has yet to receive the $3.5 million pledged.
