   Over the weekend, #JusticeforJohnny was a trending topic   
   (again), this time after body cam footage rolled around from a   
   night when police officers were called to the then-home of   
   Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Now, as the footage has rolled   
   around the interwebs, Depp’s lawyer is claiming Heard and her   
   friends lied about what happened in 2016.   
      
   You may already know the incident in question. As part of the   
   libel court case against The Sun, Amber Heard had testified that   
   Johnny Depp had torn apart their home and had even thrown a   
   phone at her, prompting a mess of spilt liquid, broken glass and   
   more. Now, some are using the body cam footage to call into   
   question what happened that night and claim Heard's version of   
   events may not be accurate. In fact, Depp’s lawyer Adam Waldman   
   went a step further and claimed the footage proves that Heard   
   has lied. He noted:   
      
   Amber Heard and her friends described a chaotic, messy crime   
   scene but the newly released LAPD bodycam videos unambiguously   
   show that the penthouse was utterly undamaged and that their   
   testimony was one more grandiose lie   
      
   Johnny Depp’s legal team released body cam footage this weekend   
   from an incident in which Johnny Depp and Amber Heard had   
   allegedly gotten into a domestic spat and police were called to   
   the home they shared in LA. The footage, which can be found   
   along with the quote from Waldman over at The DailyMail, show   
   police on the scene in what looks to be an otherwise tidy house.   
      
   As part of the suit and countersuit Johnny Depp and Amber Heard   
   respectively filed, two of the police who did show up at the   
   loft owned by the former couple have been deposed. The two   
   officers who were on the scene said they showed up to the loft,   
   looked around and did not see any evidence of duress, crime or   
   any domestic violence injuries.   
      
   Johnny Depp’s team has pushed hard on this narrative, formerly   
   calling Amber Heard’s countersuit a “hoax,” particularly in   
   regards to the photos Heard had released allegedly showing her   
   face swollen from abuse. For her part, Amber Heard has been   
   sharing photos online recently with her support system or squad.   
   She also twice wore a dress that has been significant to her   
   during her legal proceedings against Depp.   
      
   Johnny Depp is fighting his second legal battle related to   
   claims by Amber Heard that she was abused during the course of   
   their relationship and marriage, which ended in 2016. (They   
   formally divorced in 2017.) A libel case against the U.K. outlet   
   The Sun’s parent company resulted in a loss for Depp after a   
   judge ruled The Sun's "wife beater" line was "substantially   
   true." Depp has since been denied an appeal as well.   
      
   The multiple court cases have seemingly taken a toll on both   
   actors, as Amber Heard has said she has not donated a full sum   
   she had taken in her divorce from Depp after dealing with legal   
   bills and the potential for more from the multiple court cases.   
   Johnny Depp, too, has lost work following the court verdict, as   
   Warner Bros. ultimately asked him to step down from the role as   
   Grindelwald. We'll keep you updated as the Virginia-based case   
   continues moving forward.
