It seems like everyone has been dragged into the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp case. Everyone from Elon Musk to Eddie Redmayne has been named or involved in one way or another, per The Independent. The American Civil Liberties Union is part of that ever-growing list, too, and according to Radar Online, the ACLU wants a whopping $86,000 from Depp for its involvement in the case.
Court documents revealed that Heard promised to pay $3.5 million to the ACLU from her divorce with Depp. However, an ACLU representative testified that Heard only paid a little over a million of the promised amount. Now, the ACLU is demanding Depp cover the expenses involved with providing evidence. As the motion put it (per Radar Online), “While [the organization and its attorneys] cannot get back the significant time they spent responding to Mr. Depp’s subpoenas and the disruption to their work,” so they deserve to be paid back in full.
Depp and Heard stand to lose more than money when all is said and done. “Hollywood is a strange place,” a PR expert told CNN of the damage to their careers after the legal controversy. “When you air your dirty laundry in front of the machine, the executives, all the people that make the parts move, they sort of recoil from a hot flame.”
