He demanded $50 million, she even $100 million in damages: actor Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard fought a mud fight in front of the court in Fairfax, Virginia. It was about an article that Heard published in the Washington Post in December 2018, in which she writes about her experiences with domestic violence. The 36-year-old does not mention Depp’s name, but he still sued her for defamation and damage to his reputation.
Many sordid details about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s toxic relationship came to light during the trial. The trial began on April 12.
In the verdict, the jury has now largely sided with Depp – but also agreed with Heard on some points. The seven jurors told Judge Penney Azcarate on Wednesday in court in Fairfax County, Virginia. Previously, the verdict had been delayed because the jury had failed to enter what it deemed appropriate damages on the appropriate form.
Dressed all in black, Heard followed the verdict in court, Depp did not show up. Numerous onlookers and fans, especially Depp, had gathered in front of the court, who cheered after the verdict and shouted “Johnny, Johnny”.
