The article itself did not mention Depp by name, however, their contentious 2016 divorce had been in the news over the previous two years.
"Amber did suffer sexual violence at the hands of Depp," Rottenborn claimed."You will hear in the most graphic and horrifying terms about the violence that she suffered. You'll hear that straight from her. She will get on the stand and she will tell you that it happened." "This follows a pattern of her elaborate, erroneous claims which have continued to change and evolve over time for the purpose of Hollywood shock value of which Amber has mastered and used to exploit a serious social movement," the statement added.
