Depp said Heard played the victim when she accused him of domestic abuse. He claimed that she planned the hoax to defame him and tarnish his public image according to the lawsuit. In 2018, Heard wrote an article for the Washington Post, where she claimed she lost out on jobs and got death threats because she accused Depp of violence.

Depp claimed that she wants to push her career with the accusations and he is not going to let her enjoy the ill-gotten fame. The lawsuit revealed that the responding police officers refuted the accusations after Depp provided 87 surveillance camera videos and a third party witness to prove that Heard was a liar. The actor claimed that Heard lied and must pay for it with a huge settlement amount.
