The infamous defamation trial of actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has gripped the entire world, so much so that some 'fans' are actually willing to shell out lakhs of rupees to watch it in person.
As per a report in People magazine, a 59-year-old woman named Ivan De Boer, has spent around $30,000 on her travel and stay expenses, only to witness the trial firsthand.
"I took my whole year's vacation so I could be here for Johnny. I'm the same age as Johnny. I'm single, so I do what I want to, basically," she said.
She added that she has no regrets about spending her time and money over the trial and that she would, in fact, have regretted had she not attended it.

The article never mentions Depp by name, but Depp's lawyers say he was defamed nevertheless because it clearly referred to accusations she made in 2016 during their divorce proceedings.
