Amber Heard is attempting to overturn Johnny Depp’s victory in the defamation case brought against her. On April 11, a trial for Depp’s lawsuit against the actress began. On June 1, the actor was declared the winner. Heard expressed her dissatisfaction with the decision, calling it “a setback for women.” The actress’ attorneys said in a 43-page brief submitted to a Virginia court on Friday that the decision was based on faulty legal reasoning, the jury was not properly screened, and excessive damages were granted. Depp had filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard, accusing her of employing “name-calling” that frequently turned violent. The actor said Heard intimated he was aggressive in a 2018 Washington Post article about domestic violence. Heard did not mention the actor by name, but Depp’s attorneys claimed that her claims made it harder for him to obtain acting jobs. Heard’s most recent filing asked the court to reverse the judgment or retry the case. Heard further urged the court to reexamine the case and then take the appropriate action. A memo ...

Former Action Democratic Party (ADP) candidate for governor of Lagos State in the 2019 general elections and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the October 2020 by-election for the Lagos-East Senatorial District, Babatunde Gbadamosi, has openly made fun of Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele-Bello over her failed marriage. In addition, Babatunde and Funke are related. Due to his marriage to Shade Balogun, the original owner of the company, Babatunde paraded himself as the chairman and CEO of Redbrick Homes International Limited, the promoters and developers of Amen Estate. Babatunde introduced Funke to his now-divorced wife Shade to help with publicity for AMEN estate in exchange for a discount on her own housing unit. Unfortunately, his marriage to Shade ended when he impregnanted Yinka Balogun, a UK-based woman. Regarding the division of their shared assets, both parties are currently in court. The union was Shade’s third and Babatunde’s second attempts at love. Funke, on the other hand, opted to support Shade rather than side with her relative and consistently cut off communication with Babatunde. It is claimed that Babatunde complained vehemently about Funke’s betrayal in spite of all he had done for her.

Soso Soberekon, a music executive, has thought back on his worst regret in life, which he claims was not signing dancehall artist Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie, nicknamed Patoranking, and vocalist Teni Apata when he had the chance. On an Instagram question and answer live session, the music mogul was replying to a question from a fan. The follower had inquired as to what his greatest regret in life was and he said his unwillingness to sign now star singers, Teni and Patoranking. He went on to say that Patoranking would frequently ride an Okada (motorcycle) from Ikorodu/Ebute Meta in Lagos to meet him and urge him to sign him, but he didn’t. Soberekon continued by saying that he later signed another musician who Patoranking is now 100 times bigger than, and that this caused him a great loss.
