The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actor sued Heard for $50 million over an op-ed article she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, where she claimed to be a victim of domestic violence. Although she did not name Depp directly, his lawyers claimed that the essay insinuated that it was about him. Heard countersued Depp for $100 million for claiming that her accusations of domestic violence were false and a "hoax."
