In February 2019, Depp sued Heard over her December 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post. Depp also again alleged that Heard had been the abuser, and that her allegations constituted a hoax against him.[27]
In August 2020, Heard countersued Depp, alleging that he had coordinated “a harassment campaign via Twitter and [by] orchestrating online petitions in an effort to get her fired from Aquaman and L’Oréal”.[29][30]
