Johnny Depp’s defamation case against Amber Heard have ruled in favor of the actor’s claims.After weeks of testimony from the pair as well as outside witnesses, Depp, 58, won all three counts of his bombshell defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, on Wednesday after a Virginia jury substantiated the claim that his ex-wife sullied his reputation and damaged his career when she wrote about becoming a “public figure representing domestic abuse” following the couple’s split in the Washington Post in 2018.In November of 2020, a London judge sided against Depp in his libel suit against The Sun after they published the 2018 op-ed piece.
Depp later filed suit against Heard, individually, with allegations of defamation stemming from her WaPo essay, which she wrote in partnership with the ACLU.
Subsequently, Heard countersued Depp with similar claims — that Depp’s attorney Adam Waldman also defamed her when he told the Daily Mail that she set up her ex-husband with false domestic abuse claims when the police came to their apartment in May 2016.Heard has also been awarded $2 million in damages for this claim.
