The defamation case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has finally ended for good. The case was filed by Depp, while Heard counter-sued. The duo battled in court over an op-ed she had written for The Washington Post in 2018.
The couple split in 2016. After this, the ‘Aquaman‘ claimed she was a survivor of domestic violence, without mentioning Depp by name. He sued her for $50 million in damages. The jury determined that Heard acted with actual malice when writing her op-ed. They awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages in his defamation suit.

Post the trial, Heard took to her social media and released a public statement. She expressed her disappointment with the verdict as she stuck to her case.

We’ve been everywhere together, we have seen everything together. We have walked the same road together. We did the right thing together, all because you cared. And now, we will all move forward together.”
“You are, as always, my employers and once again I am whittled down to no way to say thank you, other than just by saying thank you. So, thank you. My love & respect, JD,” he concluded his post, which was also shared on Instagram.
