The entertainment event of the year in the English-speaking world and far beyond is certain. It runs on American television and on YouTube, in many different streams, with live commentary: the court case Depp versus Heard. They will tear their hair out in the streaming service headquarters, for five weeks millions of people have been difficult to get for “Bridgerton” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”. Much more exciting is the question of how Amber Heard fares in cross-examination on Monday, when dirty laundry is not only spread out in a figurative sense. The centerpiece: A talk show clip shows her saying she donated the $7 million she was awarded in the divorce to a children’s hospital and a human rights organization, and then it goes back and forth between her and Johnny Depp’s attorney ten times, twenty times whether the binding promise of a donation and the actual transfer are the same.
