The verdict handed down Wednesday in Virginia found that Depp had been defamed by three statements in an op-ed written by his ex-wife in which Heard said she was an abuse victim. The jury awarded him more than $10 million. Jurors also awarded Heard $2 million, concluding that she was defamed by a lawyer for Depp who accused her of creating a detailed hoax surrounding the abuse allegations.Depp had hoped the libel lawsuit would help restore his reputation.
Both performers emerge with unclear prospects. Depp, a three-time best actor Oscar nominee, was a bankable star until recent years, with credits including playing Capt. Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. However, he lost that role and was replaced in a “Fantastic Beasts” spinoff. “From a reputation-management perspective, there can be no winners,” he said. “They’ve bloodied each other up. It becomes more difficult now for studios to hire either actor because you’re potentially alienating a large segment of your audience who may not like the fact that you have retained either Johnny or Amber for a specific project because feelings are so strong now.”
Depp sued Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” The essay never mentioned his name. While the case was ostensibly about libel, most of the testimony focused on whether Heard had been physically and sexually abused, as she claimed. Heard enumerated more than a dozen alleged assaults, including a fight in Australia — where Depp was shooting a “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel — in which Depp lost the tip of his middle finger and Heard said she was sexually assaulted with a liquor bottle.
Blowing a Stand in stunt double Aquaman on OnlyFans may be a good start 🤣
Enough already,,,,jc who cares !!
I think she will have more roles offers since she did well in acting during the trial lol
Let them both be....they now need our judgemental silence ...remember has a mental illness...it is like us poking snide remarks at a cancer patient....I was judgemental too because she fibbed about MY ALWAYZ SEXY Johnny......let them heal in peace and quiet or I will.......do..
For Ambers own mental health, she should step away from any attempt at continuing an acting career.
People love him even more now. Still as handsome as ever. Can’t wait for his next movie. Her on the other hand. Couldn’t care less.
Who cares omg bunch of overpaid celebrities shit the bed's all pay attention
That was more true before the trial and probably the main reason for it but again, solid journalism here
Lol. still not losing on realamberheard . We certainly know about her but how uncertain for JohnnyDepp ? His future is clear. His career is going to skyrocket again. So stop putting his name again and again to appease AmberHeard
She’s done ✅ Johnny owns Hollywood
No they’re not. Depp’s career will only go up. Heard’s will deep dive to the bottomless, dark pit….just like her soul.
I already saw Depp in a Dior advert.
Drop wont the case ../ get with the protest CP 24/7 posting useless news instead of focusing on what’s really important.
I don’t think Depo is going to have an issue working again.
Who cares
Depps career is fine. You ain’t fooling anyone with that headline.
It would be interesting to find out who is paying the lawyer fees
Amber Heard's Q scores were terrible before this trial even began. Now she has given the worst performance of her life on the stand.
😂😂😂😂WRONG. Amber Heard will never work again. Johnny will be fine.
Depp is fine. Turd will never work in the industry again
Disney will offer 100 million for him to play Jack sparrow again how could that be...😏😏
Depp lost his roles in Pirates and Fantastic Beasts as a direct result of Amber Heard and this whole thing. He should get those jobs back. wbpictures Disney
Nope Just Ms. Heard
Depp will be fine, her on the other hand will only make 💩 films
'Uncertain'? No. Depp will get his career back and Hamber's only acting opportunity will be OnlyFans.
Depp will prevail. Heard will need to go to another type of industry
How could this be worse for Johnny 🤣
Johnny will be fine. JusticeForJohhnyDepp JohnnyDepp
JohnnyDepp should not be concerned. AmberHeard should practice flipping burgers.
No, just Heard
I've never heard of Heard until this trial.
Depp will be fine.. As for Amber.... I never 'heard' of her. Who is she now?
Never 'Heard' of her.
I'm sure McDonald's or Taco Bell will be glad to hire Turd..Depps career will be back full swing..
The only prospects Amber is gonna get is on a black couch with a camera in front of it
You mean Heard faces uncertain career prospects. I am pretty confident Johnny Depp’s career will be on a huge upswing
I only care enough to comment that I don’t care 😝
His career will continue to be solid, hers no so much. in fact I had never even heard of her before this shit show hit the media.
Her career is at the bottom the sea shoulda advoided those black sails
Thank you for the meaningful, insightful and constructive article, while we are battling with inflation,housing crisis, unemployment, public safety concerns and mental health issues. Thank you for covering this disgusting sh*t show for weeks.
Depp doesn’t need to work another day in his life. Heard………
Johnny Depp is old and over the hill. Amber is still young and gorgeous!
Such a biased article...ut I'm not surprised MSM like this have shown who they are for 2 years with the plandemic and not talking the truth. Truth is NOBODY NEEDS MSM anymore. Yall are bought and paid for. The world knows this now
Amber doesn’t have enough fans for studios to break even on the most frugally budgeted movies so I think she’s pretty much done.
I'm sure Depp's prospects are quite certain now, though
