ACLU

The general counsel of the ACLU testified that actress Amber Heard used her op-ed against Johnny Depp for capitalising Aquaman release.

Johnny Depp alleges that Amber Heard fabricated her abuse allegations and used them to advance her own career at his expense. Heard also agreed that the timing was important, he said. Dougherty said that the ACLU learned in 2019 that Heard was having financial problems and could not fulfill the remainder of the pledge. Heard’s lawyers have stressed that she followed her attorneys’ advice in the drafting of the op-ed. Johnny Depp has testified that he wanted to fight Heard’s claims at the time, but reluctantly took the advice of his lawyers to settle the case and move on. The general counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) testified that actress Amber Heard’s op-ed about domestic violence was timed to capitalise on the release of Aquaman.

He noted that he never saw any marks on Heard. Judge Penny Azcarate has a prescheduled conference from May 9 to 12 when the trial will pause for a week. 'It was great to see Johnny happy again. Honeymoon period was on, and yeah it was good.' Dougherty said that media outlets were more likely to take on an op-ed if it had 'strong views' and the more the person was in the public eye at the time, the 'more likely it will be accepted by a more prominent media outlet'. Amber started getting a bit more feisty, demanding. 'Amber started to change. 'I could hear Amber screaming. Everything was great.

Elon Musk is said to have donated half a million dollars to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Aquaman actor Amber Heard's name.

Furthermore, in December 2018, Heard's op-ed in The Washington Post was published announcing that she had taken on a role as an ACLU ambassador on women's rights. It was also the same year that Depp and Heard's divorce was finalised and the latter started dating Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Recently, Dougherty testified that the ACLU has received a $500,000 donation from a donor-advised fund located at Vanguard, which he 'believed was a fund set up by Elon Musk'. He said that based on emails with Musk, the ACLU understood that Heard's $3.5 million donations would be given over 10 years. Dougherty said that of the $1.3 million donated, Heard had given $350,000 directly, while $100,000 was contributed by Johnny Depp and $350,000 came from an investment fund.

Day 11 of the ongoing Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial revealed startling facts about the Aquaman star's promised donation to the American Civil ...

"As Amber Heard is a known and proven domestic abuser, Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment should and must remove Heard from their Aquaman 2 film project. This must be recognized, and action must be taken to prevent a known abuser from being celebrated within the entertainment industry. Another significant detail that came out of yesterday’s testimonies is that ACLU assisted and even encouraged Heard to write her op-ed, as they proposed she be an ambassador for the group. The petition has surpassed its goal of 2 million signatures, and the next target is 3 million. This revelation is likely to be a significant blow to Heard’s credibility, especially after the UK ruling cited her charitable donations as proof that she didn’t marry Johnny Depp for financial gains. Yesterday, in a pre-recorded deposition, Terence Dougherty, the ACLU’s general counsel, testified that Amber Heard is yet to fulfill her pledge.

Amber Heard has not yet donated the promised amount to ACLU. The reason the actress gave to the organization was financial difficulties.

Soon, Amber Heard too released a statement regarding the charity. But the schedule of the same has not been determined yet. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity.” After the divorce of the two celebrities was finalized, they released a joint statement. The same article the Pirates of the Caribbean actor has sued her for. In the recording which was made in 2021, Dougherty revealed that Heard had only donated $1.3 million by that time.

The actor pledged to donate some of her divorce settlement to the organization, but after delivering less than half by December 2018, she stopped payments, ...

In the first place, he does not refer to her charitable donation at all in the context of his central findings.” Elaine Bredehoft, who is currently representing the actress in the U.S., said during a hearing in July, “[Heard] has always said she fully intends to continue to give the full $7 million, but she can’t do it yet. Whether or not she’s donated the full settlement has been a particular sticking point for Depp’s team in this trial, as well as during the appeal of the U.K. trial. Her failure to complete payment is offered as a blight on her credibility, and an example of her striving for good P.R., which Depp’s team argues she doesn’t deserve. But she has given a significant amount.” This is over and above any funds that I have given away in the past and will continue to give away in the future.”

The actor made the pledge as she ended her marriage to Johnny Depp, saying she would split $7 million between the ACLU and a children's hospital.

The ACLU, its North Carolina affiliate and the law firm Patterson Harkavy LLP on Thursday filed a lawsuit on behalf of Zayre-Brown, a transgender inmate in ...

“DPS’s denial of treatment is not only discriminatory – it is inhumane,” Maffetore said. Zayre-Brown’s requests “have been met with unjustified delays that have needlessly prolonged her suffering,” the lawsuit reads. Zayre-Brown’s gender dysphoria has caused her “extreme” mental and psychological anguish, according to the complaint, and the department’s unwillingness to treat her has put her “at grave risk of physical assault and sexual assault.” The lawsuit states that medical providers referred to Zayre-Brown by DPS have agreed that gender-affirming surgery is “medically necessary for her” and Zayre-Brown has met the criteria necessary to receive gender-affirming care while in DPS custody under the department’s current transgender inmate policy. Since then, Zayre-Brown has experienced “unwarranted and repeated interruptions of her hormone therapy,” according to the complaint, and her hormone levels have been inconsistently and inadequately monitored. In a complaint filed Thursday by the ACLU, its North Carolina affiliate and the law firm Patterson Harkavy LLP, DPS is accused of withholding “essential” medical care to Kanautica Zayre-Brown, a transgender woman who has been in state custody since 2017 and has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

On Thursday (April 28th), Terence Dougherty, the General Counsel for the ACLU, testified in Johnny Depp's defamation trial against Amber Heard.

“From the ACLU’s perspective, Amber is about to receive an incredible amount of press and be in the public eye. The organization also believes $500,000 of what was donated in Heard’s name came from Elon Musk, whom Heard dated after she and Depp split up. According to Variety, the ACLU was also involved in helping Heard with “conceiving, drafting and placing” the op-ed piece she wrote for The Washington Post about surviving domestic violence.
