BREAKING: Johnny Depp has won his multi-million dollar lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard. The Jury ruled that Heard did defame the actor in her 2018 Washington Post article. 9News FULL STORY:

against ex-wife Amber Heard, vindicating his stance that Heard fabricated claims that she was abused by Depp before and during their brief marriage.The jury awarded $US15 million be paid to Depp, and $US2 million be paid to heard as a result of multiple rulings against each of them.Actor Johnny Depp waves to supporters as he departs the Fairfax County Courthouse on May 27, 2022.

"I believe Johnny's attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the UK. "It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career. And six years later, the jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled."Fans — overwhelmingly on Depp's side — lined up overnight to grab a seat in the courtroom.

Depp said he never hit Heard and was never out of control when drinking, though Heard's attorneys highlighted text messages Depp sent to friends recounting the copious amount of alcohol and drugs he had taken at that time. In the Virginia case, Depp had to prove not only that he never assaulted Heard, but that Heard's article — which focused primarily on public policy related to domestic violence — defamed him. He also had to prove that Heard wrote the article with actual malice.

"Johnny promised me — promised me — that he'd ruin my life, that he'd ruin my career. He'd take my life from me," Heard said in her final testimony.

Very well done🤗

No-one cares.

Gender equality has been long held hostage. Now's the time to redeem the real gender equality. Good job.

Defamation and defecation in one go.

9NewsMelb Yes, devastated that her ego has been shattered, lies have been discovered and people can see her as she really is.

Congratulations Johnny.

Justice for all abused men

Don't care, now how about shitstain Dans appearances at IBAC.

Pure justice. She literally lied about 30 times. Great to see the right thing happen. I hope she never works in the spotlight ever again.

Congratulations Johnny

9NewsPerth She got $2M.... why..? Psh. She should've gotten jail.

Awesome!!! Some women do make up domestic violence claims and it’s not fair on others who legitimately have suffered from domestic violence

Yipeeeee!

👏🏼WIN FOR GENDER EQUALITY

9NewsSyd A win for men, finally. I had a friend spend 19 mths on remand in jail because of the lies his ex told and she finally admitted in court they were lies…great he was released but still today, she goes unpunished for the lies and the 19 mths he spent in jail.

9NewsSyd Good. She’s crazy.

9NewsMelb notmetoo

money buys you anything - this bloke should have been jailed

He deserves it. And more. That's fantastic.

Onya Johnno.

Men also live in abusive relationships 9 times out of 10 they believe the women. I think Amber Herds lies have the cause for women's rights taken a step backwards by the manipulation of the truth. Happens more than people want to admit.

9NewsSyd Damages to Ambers reputations..if there's any 🤣🤣

Shame amber didn't use the pledged money to improve her acting skills, instead of acting like a victim she acted like a troll. I will always remember amber as the turd on the bed.

shouldn't have gone to trial FirstPlace media release under the direction of a person who creates story&headline to sway public profile should be held accountable as his employees&asset's will greatly be effected by the way perceived as celebrity verdictwatch JohnnyDepp

Awesome!!!

9NewsAdel Finally justice for men, a lying fembot found guilty, the jury saw through her lies, how many innocent men have gone through this and been found guilty because of lying, crying women...
