The jury for the Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard defamation trial reached a verdict this Wednesday, declaring Heard guilty. During the last seven weeks, the couple’s chaotic marriage was exposed to the public, as each party tried to prove they were the victim of an abusive relationship.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY During the trial, each party brought to light supposed disturbing events they’d experienced during their marriage. Family, friends, and co-workers of both Depp and Heard were also dragged into the affair, as they were subpoenaed to testify in the trial, sometimes presenting conflicting versions of the facts.
Heard was ordered to pay Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages in his defamation suit. Depp had originally asked for $50 million in damages, to which Heard had counterclaimed $100 million. The jury also ordered Depp to pay $2 million in compensatory damages to Heard, but no punitive damages, underlining how the decision favored Depp in the defamation case. The high-profile case took place in Fairfax County, Virginia, and was broadcast worldwide.
Wonder if heard will “pledge” that money too.
Depp won, Heard’s career is over
I guess they felt sorry for her
