Last year, the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp defamation case was easily one of the biggest news stories. It stemmed from an op-ed that Head wrote in which she talked about being the victim of domestic abuse. Later, Depp filed a $50 million defamation suit against his ex-wife.
The trial, which lasted for around two months, was widely reported by the media. People across the globe picked their sides, but most of them supported Depp. Less than a year after the trial concluded, Heard reportedly left Hollywood and settled in Madrid, Spain. Let’s find out the details.

Heard Paid To Johnny Depp For Legal Settlement
The jury of their infamous trial concluded that Heard’s claims of abuse were false and awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages. Heard was also given 5 million in punitive damages.
But the amount was later reduced to $350,000 due to the state laws. She was separately awarded $2 million in compensatory damages from Depp over a claim that she “roughed up” the actor’s penthouse.
In December 2022, Heard paid $1 million to Depp to settle a long legal battle. The jury had earlier ordered her to pay $8.35 million, but the amount was later reduced. Depp said that he will donate the money to charity.
