Johnny Depp is donating the $1 million he received from ex-wife Amber Heard as compensation following their defamation lawsuit last year to charity.
The actor will reportedly distribute the $1 million received from Amber to five different charities, with $200,000 going to each charity. The charities he has chosen range from those that benefit sick children to those that provide safe housing to various communities.
The Hollywood actors married in a secret ceremony at their home in Los Angeles in 2015 after dating for several years. Amber filed for divorce from Johnny on May 23, 2016 and secured a temporary restraining order against him. She said Johnny had physically abused her during their relationship and that it often happened while he was drunk and on drugs.
Johnny filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Amber in March 2019 following her op-ed in the Washington Post, where she wrote that she was a victim of domestic violence. Johnny’s name was not mentioned in the article. However, the story came out as their divorce case made headlines.
Amber recently confirmed her move to Spain. In a recent interview, she said she had left Hollywood and moved to Spain with her daughter Oonagh Paige, The Independent reported.
