Johnny Depp is making celebrity news once more with his motion for privacy in his celebrity divorce against Amber Heard. The couple surprised everyone when they ended their celebrity relationship back in May, and since then, there have been rocky court hearings. According to UsMagazine.com, Depp filed for confidentiality on July 15, with papers that state, “All documents produced by [Depp] in this action and/or any third parties subpoenaed in this action … shall be designated as ‘Confidential Information’ herein.” Sources close to Depp say his desire for privacy comes after Heard’s request to obtain personal and financial documentation. “Amber has inexplicably refused to sign any agreement to maintain confidentiality in this action,” Depp’s filing claims. “Johnny is therefore asking the Court to issue a protective order.” Despite Heard’s claims that their celebrity relationship was abusive, Depp seems to be handling the divorce proceedings well.
This celebrity divorce is definitely going to be one for the books. What are some ways to keep the details of your divorce private?

3. Loose lips sink ships:Â The absolute best way to make sure that details of your divorce remain private is by keeping it all to yourself. Though you may want to talk to close friends, family, or even coworkers about what you’re going through, don’t let them know sensitive information. Sharing details opens the chance for rumors and changed opinions that could hurt your case, which is the exact opposite of what you want.
