Johnny Depp has won his lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, who was found culpable for libel by a Fairfax County, Virginia jury June 1. It awarded him 10 million compensatory damages and 5 million in punitive damages, which Heard will have to pay.
The jury did find Depp liable for defaming Heard on one count, however, for which the jury ordered him to pay her 2 million in compensatory damages and a zero-dollar punitive damages payout.
Heard wrote a 2018 Washington Post op-ed implying that she endured physical, psychological, verbal, and sexual domestic abuse at the hands of Depp, whom she did not actually name. The Oscar-nominated actor sued Heard in 2019 for 50 million over the loss of big-budget film roles, alleging that he himself was the victim of abuse by Heard. The “Aquaman” actress later countersued for 100 million.
