The ACLU op-ed placed under the name of actress Amber Heard on December 18, 2018, has come under scrutiny. Not just because the Washington Post oped is at the center of a $50 million defamation lawsuit by Heard’s former husband, actor Johnny Depp — but also because it was revealed during the trial that the Washington Post editorial with Amber Heard’s name atop it was actually authored by the ACLU who Heard gave over a million dollars to. Heard references sexual assault and domestic violence but never references Depp directly by name though it was clear who she may have been referring to and Depp is claiming millions in damages.
