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.
