Los Angeles, May 3 - Amber Heard's domestic violence allegations against ex-husband Johnny Depp have taken a huge toll on his career which is in doldrum since 2018.

Depp's agent has now revealed that Depp was set to get a whopping $22.5 million to star in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean 6", but Disney dropped him from the movie after Amber Heard published an op-ed reviving her domestic abuse allegations, as per Variety.



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. "After the op-ed, it was impossible to get him a studio film", Whigham testified.

Whigham also said that Depp had earned $8 million for "City of Lies", $10 million for "Murder on the Orient Express" and $13.5 million for "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" - all of which were shot in 2017. In 2018, the actor made $1 million for "Waiting for the Barbarians", and was set to receive $3 million for "Minamata".

He testified that the op-ed brought Depp's career success to a halt. "It was a first-person account coming from the victim. It became a death-knell catastrophic thing for Mr. Depp in the Hollywood community".

However, on cross-examination, Amber Heard's head lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, put out that Depp never had a contract for $22.5 million for "Pirates 6", to which, Whigham admitted that "it would be fair to say I have not seen a document, I have not seen $22.5 million written on a page".
