After Amber Heard pledged to donate the entirety of her $7 million divorce settlement to charity, it seems that Johnny Depp wants to make sure that this is indeed the case. The Pirates of the Carribean star has reportedly sent the money directly to Heard’s chosen charities ensuring that his ex-wife does not receive a penny of the payout.
The two chosen charities, which Amber personally picked, are the ACLU and a children’s hospital in Los Angeles. The former is a charity which helps women who have been the victim of sexual abuse in America. This donation seems all the more personal given that there were reports that Depp was violent towards Heard, something which prompted her to file for divorce.
A spokesperson for Depp made the following statement: ‘Following Amber Heard’s announcement that her divorce settlement was to be divided equally and gifted to Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union, two exceptionally deserving and important charities, Johnny Depp has sent the first of multiple installments of those monies to each charity in the name of Amber Heard, which when completed will honor the full amount of Ms. Heard’s pledge.’
