In the meantime, 10 more videos of her testimony dating from August 2016 have been published, in which she details the mistreatment of which she is now a victim.

Heard argues perhaps that Depp grabbed him by the hair after throwing a cell phone at the actress striking her in the eye.

Heard looked visibly upset and her voice broke a few times as she detailed the alleged incident saying, "He grabs my head, takes a fist full of my hair and says," I hit myself Eye, I hit the eye, let me see your eye, let me see, and if I pulled your hair back?

"And he pulls my head back and he, I do not know, pat me on the face or move my face and he holds me by the hair."

She goes on to say that Depp screamed in her face as she grabbed her and expressed her frustration that no one in the area was trying to help her.

Heard said: "He's shouting at me, he's screaming about" let's see how much I hit you. " And I cry loudly: "help help help you like it." I guess I say "call 911."

According to the DailyMail.com report released on Friday, actor Depp, 55, is suing his former law firm for $ 30 million, for negligence charges.

The firm – Bloom Hergott Diemer Rosenthal LaViolette Feldman Schenkman & Goodman – said that Depp had recently accused them of malpractice in connection with his divorce with Heard and that he would therefore need to dismiss the actress for himself. defend.

The company is asking complainants – named Depp and his film companies Scaramanga Bros and Infinitum Nihil, to respond in writing to their questions – and to demand the opportunity to ask Depp more questions about his "newly articulated theories". ".

Previously, Bloom & Co had told the court that Depp had not provided any documents or information. Although the judge ordered the star to give more detailed answers to a number of questions, he had denied certain requests from the firm.

The new filing reads as follows: "This is not idle speculation: for example, over the last three months, the plaintiffs have started to charge the defendants with malpractice under the Depp's divorce with Amber Heard.

The complainants' written answers to the preliminary interrogations should indicate whether (or how) the complainants believe that the defendants were responsible for the alleged mismanagement of Depp's divorce (even though Depp had a separate lawyer in this divorce proceeding). & # 39;

On March 29, Depp's attorney told the court that he would provide information that would make "all aspects of the malpractice complaint … very clear".

Bloom & Co states that this means that they will then have to make an additional discovery regarding these other aspects, such as the documents and depositions of Depp's lawyers, De Heard, and many incident witnesses who are would be produced between Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard. , in order to defend themselves from accusations that they would somehow be responsible for the settlement of Mr. Depp's divorce.

Heard filed for divorce from Depp in May 2016, stating that he had been "verbally and physically" abusive towards her.

Their divorce was finalized in January 2017, with the actress receiving a settlement of $ 7 million.

The motion, filed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Superior Court, also requests "a new trial date that reflects the reality of the status of discovery and production of documents in the case".

The case was due to the court on September 16 after being postponed from May 6.

Bloom & Co. now wants the deal to be postponed again, suggesting that it would take them at least six months to prepare and qualifying the September date as "unrealistic."

Depp also accused his former lawyers of conspiring with his former management directors, The Management Group (TMG), to deceive millions of people, blaming Bloom & Co. for not alerting him to their acts, even if he knew what was going on.

The lawyers say TMG has been slow to produce about 1.5 million documents they need to strengthen their defense, although they requested the documents in November 2017.

It reads as follows: "The complainants systematically refused to produce these documents, but eventually they finally agreed to produce almost all the documents (although they are not documents related to a SEC investigation on TMG). Products in the dispute with TMG. "

The law firm also asks to file Johnny Depp; his sister Christi Dembrowski; its current director, Edward White, and others who worked for him.

Last month, a judge ordered that Depp's lawsuit against his lawyers be postponed to allow more time to submit evidence and "solve the problems of the actor."

The judge warned that both parties could have acted more quickly and dragged the case by throwing in "a lot of fingerings on who's fault."

Depp's lawyer, Adam Waldman, told The Blast: "Bloom is notably accused of failing to oversee the fraudulent activities of the Mandel Brothers / TMG, former business leaders of Mr. Depp doing the 39, the subject of numerous federal criminal investigations and raids in their offices by the FBI in June 2017.

"Judge Green agreed to move their trial from May to September and decided that Bloom was entitled to sealed documents from Mandel."

Waldman also criticized the lawyers for their behavior during Heard's Johnny divorce.

Waldman added, "For Bloom's defense, he did a good job after the divorce of Mr. Depp. But the facts are as follows: a part of Mr. Depp's dream team consisting of five Hollywood lawyers examined the entire video surveillance videotape of Mrs. Heard, her friends, and her family. Elon Musk and others captured by 24 surveillance cameras in the Eastern Columbia building and in the 87 surveillance videos that these lawyers have set aside.

"Then, Mr. Depp's lawyers took affidavits from several eyewitnesses. Some members of Mr. Depp's legal team secretly represented Elon Musk. Part of Depp's legal team then concealed for nearly three years this exculpatory evidence of Mr. Depp that rebutted Amber Heard's malicious hoax against him.

Bloom & Co. denied all allegations of wrongdoing and insisted that they had never conspired against the actor.

They filed a lawsuit, accusing Depp of causing his own damage because of his fault and negligence, claiming he had not paid them for months, while lawyers continued to work for him.

The actor denied duty of money, claiming that he had paid tens of millions of dollars over the years and argued that the firm was barred from trying to collect dues unpaid because they had never signed an official warrant, qualifying their contract as "illegal".

Depp also filed a $ 50 million defamation suit against his ex-wife, aged 32, in which he claims that his spousal abuse charges were an "elaborate hoax".

His legal team apparently interviewed a number of people under oath, who all claimed to have seen no visible injury to Heard during their exchanges with her as a result of an alleged altercation.

In the transcripts obtained by The Blast, four employees and a neighbor of the couple's former apartment building were dropped off and questioned about any signs of abuse that they might have noticed between them and all insisted that there was none.

Trinity Esparaza, owner of the building janitorial services company, met the actress on several occasions following an alleged incident on May 21, including two days after, when she had not seen any visible injuries to Amber's face or body.

But she noted on May 27 – the day the Aquaman star asked for a temporary restraining order and accused her of spousal abuse – that she was wearing a "red cut under her right eye and red marks on her eye".

After seeing images that had been released when Amber had asked for the order against Johnny, Trinity returned and viewed security footage from the building, as she suspected the allegations were "false" because "the time had not pbaded" and that she had seen the actress. "Many times" without marks on his face.

Safety officer Alex Romero also admitted that he was seriously doubtful of Amber 's story, as he had seen her several times during the week and had seen nothing. who could suggest that the actress had been "hit by someone" or thrown something on her.

He added: "I saw the images and the next day I saw it. I was like going, really. I could not believe. When I saw it in person, I did not see anything.

Two other employees, including general manager of the building, Brandon Patterson, also testified that they had seen the actress several times after the alleged badault and had been seen "without bruising," cuts, redness, swelling or other facial injuries.

And the couple's neighbor, Isaac Baruch – who has been friends with Black Mbad actor for 37 years – recounted how he had seen Amber the day after the so-called fight, claiming that she had shouted, "He's m & # 39; He threw a phone and hit me!

While the actress "was stretching" to show him his alleged injuries, he saw nothing and although he saw her unmarked throughout the week, May 27, visible marks were covering her .

Johnny's lawyer also provided 87 different video recordings, taken from different cameras before and after the alleged incident.

Amber's lawyer called the lawsuit "frivolous" and insisted that his client would not be silenced.

The latest news comes after Johnny accused Amber of starting a relationship with Elon Musk just one month after their marriage in 2015.

In the lawsuit filed against People, the actor claimed that Heard would receive "late night" visits from Musk while Depp was filming out of the country.

Depp also claims that the founder of Tesla was allowed to enter the couple's home in Los Angeles the same evening that Heard "presented his torn face to the public."

Heard and Depp separated in May 2016.

According to People, a representative of Musk states that "Elon and Amber did not start seeing each other until May 2016".

"Their relationship only became romantic later," said the representative.

Heard's lawyer, Eric M. George, said in a statement to the magazine: "This frivolous action is only the last of Johnny Depp's repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard.

It will not be silenced. Mr Depp's actions prove that he is unable to accept the truth about his abusive behavior going on. & # 39;

Last December, Heard wrote an article in the Washington Post in which she claimed to have received death threats and lost her job after accusing Depp of domestic violence.

"The clear opinion of the editorial that Mr. Depp is a domestic abuser is categorically and patently false," says Depp's lawsuit.

& # 39; M. Depp never abused Mrs. Heard. His allegations against him were false when they were formulated in 2016.

"They were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Mrs. Heard and advance her career."

The prosecution goes on to badert that Heard's allegations against Depp were refuted by "two police officers interviewed, a litany of neutral third-party witnesses and 87 recently obtained surveillance videos."

"Mrs. Heard is not a victim of domestic violence, she is the author," says the trial.

The actress Aquaman petitioned for the divorce of the Pirates of the Caribbean star in May 2016, claiming that he had been "verbally and physically abusive" towards her.

Their divorce was finalized in January 2017, with Heard having subsequently donated part of his $ 7 million divorce settlement to Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

They were married for 15 months before she filed for divorce.

Images appeared at the time showing Heard with a bruised eye and face. She claimed that Depp had thrown a phone in her face and hit her at home.

Depp has long denied the charges and instead baderted that his ex-wife had repeatedly badaulted him and seriously injured him.

In the defamation suit, Depp claims that Heard threw him a glbad vodka bottle and busted the bones of his right middle finger.

He claims that the incident occurred a month after the start of their marriage and that he had to "remix his finger surgically".

"Heard then released fake reports of this incident, making Mr. Depp the author of his own injury."

Depp claims in the lawsuit that he would have been fired from Pirates of the Caribbean just four days after the publication of Heard's letter of opinion in the Washington Post.
