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.

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.
