I dunno if I'd call it overkill.

87 videos - A lot of people don't believe that a man can be abused by a woman, so it's harder for men to prove that a woman abused them. Providing 87 videos left no room for anyone to not believe him so he wouldn't have to fight through a lengthy debate over whether or not Amber was actually *gasp* lying and, in fact, abusing him.

$50 million lawsuit - Well, she nearly destroyed his multi-million dollar career. Her accusation caused people to decide he shouldn't be hired to act in movies, even if those movies were part of a franchise in which he played an important character. Seriously, there was debate over whether or not the Pirates of the Caribbean series should continue and, if so, whether they should remove Jack Sparrow (the absolute most popular character of the series) or cast someone else as Jack Sparrow (hard to imagine Jack not being played by Depp).

If you were dating someone who had been physically injuring you and they suddenly turned around and said you were the one injuring them, leading to your highly-successful career that you put a lot of time and work into being utterly destroyed, wouldn't you be pretty pissed?

Granted, $50 million is an awful lot, but for all we know, it could be money he missed out on because of her. Part of the money you get for a lawsuit is to cover damages, including emotional ones, caused by the person, organization, or company you are suing.
