#CHIP MCCAW DIVORCE TRIAL#

I wanted nothing.”Īnd she testified under oath to the UK high court during that 2020 libel trial - which Johnny lost - that she had donated the entire amount. “Seven million dollars in total was donated - I split it between the ACLU and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. She said in a 2018 interview on a Dutch talk show: That can’t possibly be true because she didn’t even keep the money, she gave it to charity.Īmber straight up lied more than once about this. It was how she always took the legs out from under his team’s claim that she was extorting him for money. We’d all kind of figured that out already over the past few months, but let’s not breeze past the fact that’s kind of a bombshell here. Whoa! See the full, contentious exchange (below)! “I have not been able to fulfill those obligations yet.”

“So as of today, you have not donated - PAID - seven million dollars of your divorce settlement to charity, right?” Vasquez finally laid it out again, asking angrily: “And as of today, you have not paid $3.5 million of your own money to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles?”Īmber responded, throwing in her excuse for never having paid: As of today, you have not PAID $3.5 million of your own money to the ACLU, yes or no?” “I use pledge and donation synonymous with one another… That’s how donations are paid.”ĭepp’s lawyer pointed out those are NOT synonymous with one another - one is a promise, the other is a fulfillment - and held the actress’ feet to the fire, stating: “Sitting here today, you have not donated the seven million dollars - donated, not pledged, donated - the seven million dollar divorce settlement to charity?”Īmber equivocated, explaining - once again directly to the jury: Vasquez tried multiple times to interrupt, pointing out that she was not answering the question. “Incorrect, I pledged the entirety of the seven million to charity and I intend to fulfill those obligations.”

Heard, you still haven’t donated the seven million dollar divorce settlement to charity, isn’t that right?”Īmber would not give in, responding - speaking directly to the jury: No joke: Vasquez laughed, balking at the answer. She stated point blank that Amber had not donated the $7 million, to which the Aquaman star responded: So how much has she actually given? Vasquez dug to find out, and it did not go well. It’s unclear how much she’s donated to the Children’s Hospital, but last year a letter was unearthed that their Associate Senior VP sent to Amber in 2019 saying they’d only gotten $100k - and asking after the other 3.4 mil she’d pledged. Dougherty confirmed they haven’t heard from Amber since 2019. Not only did she stop paying, but once they broke up, Elon stopped paying, too. He testified that ultimately they got $1.3 mil, just over a third, and $500k of that came from her boyfriend at the time, billionaire Elon Musk.

Late last month ACLU lawyer and COO Terence Dougherty was finally forced to admit - after being subpoenaed by Depp’s team - that Amber never gave them the $3.5 million. Related: Did The ACLU Write Amber’s Op-Ed? The thing is… she never gave them all the money. She pledged half to the American Civil Liberties Union and have to Children’s Hospital LA, two great non-profits that could always use a big donation like that. I took far less than what they were offering and what I was entitled to.” I was told if I didn’t agree to a number it could be overturned, we would never settle.
