The mystery of Amber’s sweet charity

JOHNNY DEPP is suing the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to force the non-profit organisation to reveal whether or not his former wife Amber Heard really did make the donations she pledged after they divorced.

Heard undertook to gift her £5million settlement to the ACLU and also to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

This certainly put her in a good light with the judges and lawyers who have subsequently been involved with the former couple’s fractious libel cases on both sides of the Atlantic.

It sends out a very strong message — that Amber Heard is a charitable and civic-minded woman, someone who is motivated by a higher purpose than money.

He questions whether she did hand over the dosh as promised.

Her lawyers now say that Amber’s offer was ‘pledged to pay over ten years’.

To support this, they have provided their own evidence which they say showed that Heard has gifted a total of £672,000 to the ACLU and £600,000 to the Children’s Hospital through anonymous donors.

Of course, that’s very generous of her. Generous to a fault! But it is still some way short of the full five million.

Not that I believe for a second that Amber is one for the grand gesture. Perish the thought.
