Piers Morgan has weighed in on the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial, branding the actress a “liar” for her comments about donating $7 million to charity.
Depp and Heard are currently embroiled in a $50 million defamation lawsuit after Heard wrote a 2018 op-ed stating she was a survivor of domestic violence. She never mentioned her ex-husband Depp by name but his legal team argue the insinuation has caused a massive loss of potential earnings.
On Monday in court, Heard faced cross-examination from Depp’s team who questioned her claim that she donated her $7 million divorce settlement to multiple charities. Attorney Camille Vasquez and Heard debated the use of the word “donated” as Heard suggested it was synonymous with the term “pledged.”
Sharing the exchange on Twitter to his 7.9 million followers, British TV host Morgan gave a damning assessment of Heard’s testimony.
“So Amber Heard’s a liar,” Morgan wrote, “and if she’s lying about paying money to charity, why should we believe anything else she says?”
Attached to his tweet is a clip from Law&Crime Network, which shared two minutes of footage from the trial. It shows the exchange between Heard and Vasquez as they get to the bottom of whether or not Heard had actually “donated” $7 million to ACLU and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles as she had claimed to have done in October 2018.
