Actress Amber Heard (Yui Mok/PA)

Amber Heard’s claim that she gave her $7m divorce settlement to charity was a “calculated and manipulative lie”, Johnny Depp’s lawyers have told the Court of Appeal.

The Hollywood star is trying to overturn a damning High Court ruling that he assaulted his ex-wife and put her in fear for her life, and is asking the Court of Appeal to order a retrial of his libel claim against The Sun.
