Amber Heard isn’t really asking for the US$100mil she sued Johnny Depp for. Her lawyer said Friday (May 27) that they simply asked for that amount to send a message to the Pirates Of The Caribbean star after he asked for half that amount when he sued her for defamation.

That information came Friday in a Virginia courtroom as legal teams for the former spouses registered their closing arguments in their duelling defamation cases.
