WHAT HAPPENED?

Johnny Depp and his colleague Amber Heard met on the set of the 2011 film 'The Rum Diary' and had a tumultuous divorce after marrying in 2015, which lasted about two years.

Following an article Heard wrote in the Washington Post in 2018 alleging domestic abuse, Depp sued for 50 million dollars in damages. Heard filed a 100 million dollar countersuit. Depp was the party who won the defamation trial in June 2022.

10 MILLION 350 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN DAMAGES

It was decided that Heard should pay 10 million dollars in damages to her ex-husband for defamation and 5 million dollars to cover the actor's losses. However, the 5 million dollar portion was reduced to 350 thousand dollars, which is the cap for such damages in the state of Virginia. The jury decided that Depp should pay 2 million dollars in damages regarding Heard's 100 million dollar countersuit.
