Amber Heard slams Johnny Depp for giving her divorce settlement money directly to charity

Amber Heard has lashed out at Johnny Depp for giving her divorce settlement money directly to charity.

After the star announced earlier this month the $7 million she would be receiving from her estranged spouse would be given to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union, and actor's representative confirmed on Thursday he had sent "the first of multiple installments" to both organisations.

However, Amber's team have hit out at the donation as if Johnny has sent it directly, he will get a charitable tax deduction, so should donate $14 million to make it equal - while the actress is also frustrated that the money isn't being given as a lump sum.

A member of Amber's team told Mirror Online:

"If Johnny wishes to change the settlement agreement, we must insist that he honour the full amount by donating $14M to charity, which after accounting for his tax deduction, is equal to his $7M payment obligation to Amber.We would also insist that the full amount be paid immediately and not drawn out over many years.
"Anything less would be a transparent attempt by Johnny's counsel, Laura Wasser and Patti Glaser, to reduce their client's true payment by half under the guise of newfound concern for charities that he has never previously supported."
