Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation battle is going to be a movie
msn.comJohnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation battle is going to be the subject of a new movie. The former couple spent several months locked in a legal battle over a 2018 op-ed the 36-year-old actress wrote about being a victim of domestic abuse but in June, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor - who wasn't named in the article - was awarded over $10 million in damages, while the 'Aquaman' star received $2 million in a counter suit.
Both stars are appealing the verdicts, which came over a year after the 59-year-old actor lost a libel case in the UK after The Sun newspaper branded him a "wife beater" and a subsequent appeal.
