understand the case

Amber Heard was convicted of defaming Johnny Depp in Fairfax County Courthouse, Virginia. The jury found that the actress must pay $15 million to him. Depp was not present in court and watched the decision by video from England.

At the center of the legal dispute was an opinion piece by Heard published in December 2018 by the Washington Post, in which she made a statement about domestic abuse without mentioning the actor.

Depp sued Heard in the State of Virginia asking for $50 million and charging her with defamation for the article. Both also claim that their careers suffered because of the allegations.
