Johnny Depp WINS Defamation Lawsuit Against Amber Heard — WATCH the Verdict

In the defamation case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, a jury has reached a decision. The jury ruled in Depp's favor, saying that Amber Heard's characterization of him as an abuser in a 2018 op-ed essay for domestic abuse survivors was defamatory. He was granted $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages (reduced to $350,000 due to a statutory cap). In her countersuit, Heard received a symbolic victory when the jury granted her $2 million in compensatory damages.
