American actress Amber Heard has confirmed that she will give all of her Johnny Depp divorce settlement money to 2 charities.
According to American entertainment website TMZ, Heard will split the $7 million settlemet equally between the ACLU, with a particular focus to stop violence against women, and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, where she has worked as a volunteer for the past 10 years.
The website quoted her as restating that the divorce wasn’t about financial gain.
“Money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves,” she was quoted as saying.
Heard also told TMz that she forfeited all residuals Depp earned from movie deals he made during their 15-month marriage, which she’d be entitled to because there was no prenup.
“Hopefully this experience results in a positive change in the lives of people who need it the most,” she added.
