Following her divorce from Johnny Depp, Amber Heard has released a statement to saying she’s donating her divorce settlement of $7 million to a pair of charities that will use it to the benefit of women who have suffered abuse
Heard, 30, said in a statement that she is dividing the full settlement equally between the American Civil Liberties Union, specifically to prevent violence against women, and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
“As described in the restraining order and divorce settlement, 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,” the actress said.
According to CNN, Heard said she has been a volunteer for Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles for over 10 years and seen “firsthand how more funding for staffing, better equipment and better medication can make the difference between life or death for a child.”
The Divorce which was settled last Tuesday, ended the couple’s 15-month marriage after weeks of highly publicized claims of domestic violence by Amber Heard and counterclaims of financial blackmailing by Johnny Depp.
