Amber Heard gives Johnny Depp's $7m divorce settlement to two charities

Amber Heard is to donate her $7m (£5.3m) divorce settlement from Johnny Depp to two charities that work with abused women and ill children.

Heard will give half to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to prevent violence against women, and half to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. The actress said she hoped to "help those less able to defend themselves".

She earlier accused Depp of striking her and throwing a mobile phone during a fight. He denied the allegations.

Amber allegedly grabbed and struck Tasya in the arm, which upset Tasya and triggered the arrest.

Good grief. The prosecutor even declined to prosecute.

She slugged her on the arm. Arrested?

Amber isn't on my list of favorites here, but this is what the justice system has come to these days.

What used to be something both people would cool off and forget about, is today a court case with full on arguments and a jury.

Gag me.

80% of the nation in the 1900s would have been in prison.

Well, it is all about drama with these types. I just thought it was hypocritical considering her allegations against her ex husband. I thought it was funny when I read about her calling the cop a misogynist homophobe and the cop turned out to be homosexual herself. News of the weird, by far.

Sometimes my comments sound as if I’m leveling the criticism at the person I am posting to. In truth I was just venting on some society inequities.

Sorry to have made it look like I was addressing your thoughts.

I appreciate the response. I agree with your comments in this post. It is a strange situation there.
