remember the case

Actor Johnny Depp and his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, were convicted of defamation and must pay restitution to each other, according to a court ruling in Fairfax County in the state of Virginia in the United States. The sentencing took place in early June after a trial that began on 11 April.

The seven-member jury met in recent days and found both guilty. However, Amber Heard would have to pay more compensation: US$15 million – compared to US$2 million for Depp.

The case was brought to justice by Johnny Depp after Johnny Depp signed an article in the Washington Post newspaper in 2018.

In court, Depp sought US$50 million in damages – and damages, double that amount.
