"After the op-ed it was impossible to get him a studio film," Johnny Depp's agent testified.
Los Angeles: Hollywood star Johnny Depp's agent testified that the actor was to receive $22.5 million to star in the sixth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film, but Disney decided to go "in a different direction" after Amber Heard published an op-ed reviving her domestic abuse allegations.
Jack Whigham, who represented Depp at Creative Artists Agency and later at Range Media Partners, testified that the December 2018 piece in the Washington Post had a "catastrophic" impact on Depp's career, reports 'Variety'.
"After the op-ed it was impossible to get him a studio film," Whigham testified.
Depp is suing Heard for $50 million, alleging that she destroyed his career with false allegations of domestic violence. The trial entered its fourth week on Monday, as Depp's team continued to call witnesses to support his claims.
Heard's side has yet to begin offering evidence, and she is expected to tell her own side of the story later in the trial.
