Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
Johnny Depp has won a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, whom he sued for her domestic abuse allegations.
The jury ruled that Amber Heard's statements about marriage were "false" and had "a defamatory implication". They also found that she had acted with "real malice". The court ruled that Johnny Depp should receive $ 15 million in damages from Amber Heard - $ 10 million in compensatory damages (intended to compensate the injured party, ie Depp) and $ 5 million in punitive damages (awarded to punish a wrongdoer, by Heard).
The court also ruled that Amber Heard should receive $ 2 million in damages because Depp's lawyer, Adam Waldman, slandered Amber Heard.
Heard reacted disappointed to the decision: "The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. The mountain of evidence I had was not enough to withstand the power and influence of my ex-husband.
I am even more disappointed with the message this decision conveys to other women. It is a step backwards, when a talking woman was ashamed. I'm sorry I lost this issue. "But I am even sadder that I lost the right that I thought I had as an American, to speak freely and openly."
While Deep, in a statement after the decision recalled that “six years ago, my life, the lives of my children, the lives of people closest to me, and the lives of people who for many, many years have supported and trusted me in me, have changed forever. "The jury robbed me of my life."
