Hollywood stars Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are embroiled in a bitter court battle - and it's all playing out like a pretty disturbing film. Both sides of the dispute argue they’re the victims ….with Depp suing Heard for $50m and Heard countersuing for $100m.

 

Depp claims he was defamed in an op-ed article Heard wrote in the Washington Post where she claimed to have been the victim of domestic violence.   Rolling Stone magazine’s Tatiana Siegel has been reporting on the case since day one.  She joins us to provide the history….and predictions on what’s likely to happen when the trial resumes next week.

 

In this episode of the Briefing, what’s at stake in the Depp v Heard trial....and who is likely to be the winner – or loser.
