The drama between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp isn’t over yet.............
After Heard was awarded $7 million  in the divorce settlement with Depp and  decided to donate the full amount to charity, the 53-year-old actor sent a portion of the financial donations directly to two charities  which support women against violence and sick children. chosen by Heard. However, Heard is now insisting that Depp double the amount to account for his tax deduction, and to pay the full amount immediately rather than in installments.
“Amber Heard appreciates Johnny Depp’s novel interest in supporting two of her favorite charities, the ACLU for domestic violence and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. This is great and unexpected news,” a member of Heard’s team said in a statement on Thursday. “However, if Johnny wishes to change the settlement agreement, we must insist that he honor 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.”
It follows shocking claims that Depp had been physically and verbally abusive toward her — including a disturbing incident where he allegedly severed his own finger in a fit of rage.

Now, a rep for Depp has revealed the actor has decided to cut out the middle man and make the donations directly in a series of instalments — and Heard is not happy.
She claims he should now pay double to the charities.
As her team told TMZ: “If Johnny wishes to change the settlement agreement, we must insist that he honour the full amount by donating $US14 million to charity, which after accounting for his tax deduction, is equal to his $7 million payment obligation to Amber. We would also insist that the full amount be paid immediately and not drawn out over many years.”

In a joint statement, they said: “Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love.”
