A quick look at the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial

The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial garnered widespread media attention. Depp sued his ex-wife over an op-ed that the Aquaman actress penned for The Washington Post. In the article, she referred to herself as a ''public figure representing domestic abuse.''

More than a year later, Heard countersued Depp, alleging that his lawyer made defamatory comments against her in the media, calling her abuse a ''hoax.'' In April 2022, the case commenced at Virginia's Fairfax County Courthouse and went on for almost seven weeks. The trial dominated the headlines, with many witnesses from both sides making explosive claims. It divided fans and was among the most discussed topics on social media.

The verdict was announced on June 1, 2022, wherein both Depp and Heard were found liable for defaming each other. Depp was awarded $10 million as compensatory damages and an additional $5 million as punitive damages. However, the amount for punitive damages was later reduced to $350,000 per Virginia's laws.

Depp was also ordered to pay $2 million to Heard, but the Drive Angry actress did not receive any punitive damages.
