@Legrandsophie why do you think charity cares who donated it or if it was on her behalf? Money is money to them, even if she doesn't manage to fulfill her pledge(which I honestly am not sure if it's just an intention or something that legally obliges you but I think the lawyer of charity testified that she never signed something that would legally bind her)it's still quite a bit of money they got. She's still part of that charity, it wouldn't make sense she made such a gaffe and was still part of it.
Also I would assume that even tho Depp covered their expenses, she probably had some leftovers from their lavish life that he didn't cover that needed covering after they got separted as well as having to maintain being in Hollywood in order to continue her career which would in turn enable her to fulfill the pledge(security-"elite"one at that I believe someone mentioned-and housing is expensive believe it or not and her income from acting dropped since this whole thing..also thing that I'm not thrilled about to even mention because I consider it on par with human trafficking is her getting"a surrogate", which is expensive too).
In addition I don't know when she found out that Depp is going to sue her but it could have been sooner than when it was actually filed. In that case clearly her lawyers or someone advised her to keep the money for trial. Hopefully this gets clarified.
I think at best she wasn't thinking how it may come off in court that she didn't pay it out in full yet and is saying it like that publicly without clarification but her explanation that similarly to when people say they bought a house but it's actually mortgage she also pledged to pay the amount of her divorce settlement, therefore she intends to pay it off.
Goldigger term is misogynistic in itself or a bit of a myth. I don't see how can anyone enjoy enduring sex and other things with person they clearly do not like and are doing it just for the money-it sounds like"high end prostitution"at best and no matter what you believe, there is no such thing as"happy hooker"either so there's that. If Amber Heard was one then she clearly endured plenty for whatever money she supposedly done it for, I wouldn't swap places that's for sure.
This trial does not look like trying to establish facts to me, more like"how do we twist whatever we have in the story our clients want". And I think JDs team has been doing some contortionist stuff here
