Amber Heard Follows Through On Promise To Donate Johnny Depp Divorce Settlement

Divorce Settlement Lawyer in NJMovie star Johnny Depp is accustomed to being in the public eye, but the negative attention caused by his recent divorce from Amber Heard is extremely embarrassing for the famous actor. Actress Amber Heard filed for divorce in May of 2016 after alleging that Depp aggressively attacked her by pulling her hair and slapping her in the face with a cell phone.

Heard Gives Divorce Settlement to Charity

Heard explained that she planned to pursue a settlement, but it wasn’t for the money except to the extent she could donate it to charity. In August, actress Heard promised to donate her divorce settlement damages. She specifically stated that she planned on giving it to charities that would prevent violence against women to help defend those less able to defend themselves. Recently, she made good on that promise and gave a large amount to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The actress was noted on the 2017 donors list from the hospital in a designated category suggesting she donated somewhere between $1 and $5 million.
