Amber Heard Files Court Order Against Johnny Depp Over Unpaid $6.8M Settlement

When Amber Heard and Johnny Depp divorced, Heard graciously said she’d donate her $6.8 million settlement to the ACLU and Children’s Hospital. Johnny Depp has yet to pay Amber Heard any of the money and so she is taking him to court to try to get what she’s owed.

The Daily Mail reports that the settlement negotiations were nearly complete but Depp has refused to pay, citing “public comments” Heard has made in the past few weeks about domestic violence. Lainey Gossip speculates that Depp is upset about this PSA Heard shot at the end of November or maybe this letter she wrote that offered her support to victims of domestic violence last week.

Neither the letter or the PSA mention Depp specifically by name but apparently he considers these a breach of the confidentiality clause in their divorce agreement and so he is withholding the money he promised Heard, making her unable to follow through with the very public promises she made.

In addition to not paying her the money she is owed as per the divorce agreement, Heard is also mad that Depp hasn’t followed through with any of the other things they agreed upon, like transferring the title of a Range Rover to her name and setting a time to meet to discuss dividing up their shared belongings.

Interestingly enough, Lainey Gossip provides the following tidbit: “What’s interesting too, however, is that there are rumours around Hollywood that he’s actually kinda short on cashflow right now. Rumour has it, Amber’s not the only one he owes. I’ve heard from sources that he’s allegedly behind on some other payments too, including legal.”

I find it difficult to believe that Johnny Depp is having cashflow issues, but even if he is, it is patently ridiculous that he’s kept Amber waiting this long for what she is rightfully owed. Just pay her the money, my dude. Divide up your things, give her the Range Rover and move on.

Mariah Carey’s great Year of Unbotherd Living continues with her “poking fun” at Nick Cannon’s new baby. As per Mr. Cannon in an interview with Power 106, he didn’t even have to tell Mariah, she called him first to let him know that she knew. And that she was fine with it, I guess?

“I wasn’t even talking about it,” he said in the interview. “I don’t know how she heard about it, but she called me, and she was funny with it. She was like, ‘Mhmmm, I heard about you out here in these streets.’”

I mean....she heard about it the way the rest of us heard about it, I assume: by having one of her assistants read it to her from a post on The Shade Room while she getting her lashes done.
