I don’t care about money and power. ‘And finally, the truth came out but the truth came out after I lost movies and I lost jobs and and so I felt bad for somebody that is trying to get chopped down by some gold digger, you know.’

The case of the wrong juror seems to have been settled in the ongoing legal battle between the ex-Pirates star & the Aquaman actress, for now.

In late June and last week, Heard’s Elaine Bredehoft-led attorneys filed paperwork with the court calling the damages awarded to Depp excessive, and casting the whole trial into doubt.
