Amber Heard has officially filed to appeal her defamation case against her former husband Johnny Depp, almost two months after a court ordered her to pay over $10 million (£8.3m) in damages to the star.
The Aquaman star’s legal team filed a notice to appeal on Thursday at the Virginia Court of Appeals in Fairfax County as she appeals the verdict rendered by the court last month in the high profile defamation trial.
The Hollywood stars were locked in a six week long trial earlier this year after Johnny Depp brought a claim against his former wife regarding an op-ed piece she had written for The Washington Post in 2018 about her experience of suffering domestic abuse.
While Johnny was not named in the piece, he was subsequently dropped from many global franchise including the Fantastic Beasts film series - something he said was a direct result of her ‘confession.’ A jury overwhelmingly ruled in the Pirates of the Caribbean actor’s favour and concluded he had indeed been defamed by the article, with Amber ordered to pay substantial damages as a result.
