Amber Heard isn’t interested in the money.
According to TMZ, “Money is the ‘lowest priority’ in her legal war with Depp.” Even though Depp offered her the financial settlement she asked for ($50,000 per month), it came with a different kind of price: a mutual restraining order.
According to sources, Amber will never agree to such an arrangement. As she was not the perpetrator of domestic violence, she wants to get the protection that she asked for, without being treated like she’s the criminal. For now, she is hoping for a chance in court next Friday to argue for a permanent restraining order against Depp.
At this point she’s not only standing up for her own personal safety, but also for other victims of domestic violence. As such a high-profile victim, hopefully Heard’s ongoing struggle can offer solidarity to victims who might not yet have the courage to speak out.
