Amber Heard lands in financial trouble after not paying trial fees to her lawyers

Amber Heard lands in financial trouble after not paying trial fees to her lawyers

 Hollywood actress Amber Heard has landed in financial trouble as she has not paid fees to her legal team. She allegedly owes nearly several million in debt to her legal team.

Elaine Bredehoft, who was Heard’s lawyer at the defamation trial held at Fairfax County, came forward a few days ago announcing that Heard was yet to pay her legal team the amount owed.

According to new reports, Heard still owes a larger amount of money to her lawyers than to Johnny Depp after losing the trial. According to reports and various sources, the actress’s insurance company, New York Marine and General Insurance Co. filed a lawsuit asking to not be held accountable to cover Heard’s legal fees and trial expenses. 

After the insurance company backed out of paying the $1 million covering the general liability policy, Heard now allegedly owes a total of about $15 million to both the insurer and her former lawyers.

Earlier, Bredehoft said that the actress would not be able to bear the charges payable to her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, that the court had declared in the aftermath of the verdict.

Depp and Heard's defamation trial became the sensational news of the year. The defamation trial ended in June, with the Virginia court ordering Heard to pay USD 10 million in compensatory damages and USD 5 million in punitive damages to her ex-husband. 

The legal battle between them started when Depp sued his ex-wife for defamation over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, where she claimed to be a survivor of domestic violence. Depp’s lawyers argued it falsely implied that she was sexually abused by Depp in their marriage. Later on, Heard countersued her ex-husband for $100 million in 2021. When she lost the defamation trial in 2022, Heard’s legal team said that she won’t be able to pay her ex-husband.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security. But as international pressure mounts, his government is walking a tightrope between military dominance and global condemnation. The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault. Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee described the coming attack as ...
