Attorney says Amber Heard paid $6 million in legal expenses

Elaine Bredehoft, Amber Heard’s attorney, took the stand on Friday to make her final argument to the jury in the defamation lawsuit brought against her by ex-Johnny Depp, claiming that her client had paid her legal team upwards of $6 million in costs.

Bredehoft said in her statement to an International Magazine that Heard had been compelled to spend more than $6 million in legal expenses to her attorneys in the six years after her divorce from Depp.

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

Heard has spent ‘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 committed 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.

However, the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has not yet received $3.5 million pledged.
