Amber Heard has dropped her defamation lawsuit against Doug Stanhope, the comedian and friend of her ex Johnny Depp, according to court documents filed in Arizona Superior Court and obtained by TheWrap.
Heard filed her suit against Stanhope in June, claiming that he had defamed her with an article stating that Heard had blackmailed Depp.
“Defendants’ statements are completely false and highly defamatory,” Heard’s lawsuit claimed. “Defendants are engaged in a classic case of ‘attacking the victim,’ in an effort to discredit Heard, destroy her good name and reputation, and severely harm her hard-earned entertainment career, on top of the campaign of violence that Depp has inflicted upon her for years.”
