Johnny Depp's lawyers insist Amber Heard case is 'not MeToo' or 'like Cosby and Weinstein'

A behind-the-scenes video of Johnny Depp’s lawyers shows the legal team arguing that his defamation case with Amber Heard is “not MeToo” and that the Pirates of the Caribbean star not comparable to Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein.

The comment has been revealed as part of a Discovery+ documentary Johnny vs Amber: The US Trial.

The series features two episodes showing both Mr Depp and Ms Heard’s sides of the story.
