The long delayed legal case between Johnny Depp and his ex Amber Heard is finally set to take place next month.

The list of celebrity witnesses and attendees set to appear at Fairfax County Courthouse is an all-star lineup – one that would make the Academy Awards blush.

Depp’s $50 million defamation lawsuit filed against his ex-girlfriend was filed in March 2019.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor is suing the Washington Post for publishing an op-ed written by Heard accusing the actor of committing domestic violence.

This is the second case Depp brought against an outlet publishing Heard’s allegations.

The Aquaman actress was also quoted by the British tabloid The Sun in 2020 for labeling the Golden Globe winning actor as a “wife beater.”

But the case did not end the way Depp had originally thought, because Judge Justice Nicol ruled that the Rupert Murdoch owned publication proved the claims made in the article to be “substantially true.”

American liable laws are vastly different from the English equivalent, which led many to believe that the Edward Scissorhands actor had a better chance landing a legal win across the pond rather than here in the states.

However, Depp is betting all or nothing on the trial set to take place in Virginia in just a few weeks’ time.

After failing to get the trial moved to California and dismissed, Heard countersued Depp for $100 million. After landing the legal win over seas, the actress believes she can use the ruling as evidence in court to support her case.

Depp had tried to get his ex’s countersuit tossed out in 2021, but came up short as Judge Penney S. Axcarate believed both could be tried simultaneously in the same ruling.
