Texas Hold-em: Amber Heard Edition

Amber Heard sees Johnny Depp's $7 million charitable donation, and she raises him another $7 million! TMZ reports that Amber Heard is giving a huge side-eye to Johnny Depp's direct payments of her divorce settlement to the charities that she claimed that she would donate the proceeds of the divorce to. Her people released the following statement:

"If Johnny wishes to change the settlement agreement, we must insist that he honor the full amount by donating $14M to charity, which after accounting for his tax deduction, is equal to his $7M payment obligation to Amber. We would also insist that the full amount be paid immediately and not drawn out over many years. Anything less would be a transparent attempt by Johnny's counsel, Laura Wasser and Patti Glaser, to reduce their client's true payment by half under the guise of newfound concern for charities that he has never previously supported."

Advantage: Heard.

And this is the last I'll be writing of this messy couple. I get that this topic is polarizing, and we're all beating a dead horse at this point. Amber's team decided to try this in the court of public opinion instead of in the court of law, and that's what I've based by commentary on - the PR aspect of the divorce, not the facts in question. It was a bad PR move to file for divorce the day after Johnny's mother died, and her side only devolved from there with daily leaks of information in an attempt to make Johnny look bad. Johnny's not a saint, and definitely needs to sober up and re-examine his life choices, but in the court of public opinion, his side played a better game. Case dismissed.

The person most excited by this divorce of course is Marilyn Manson. Now he and Johnny Depp can go back to being the cool kids in the high school that we can Hollywood and smoking under the bleachers together. I mean, don't forget that Manson said this to Rolling Stone: "We like to consider ourselves 12th-graders, the guys with more experience than the ninth-graders, the ones that the girls want to fuck. I mean, time and age are really irrelevant to me. Johnny is the same way. Sometimes, I think I'm trapped in the age that I started this. I'm trapped at 23."
