What was the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard?
Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post in December 2018 in which she described herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse". Depp claimed that the article damaged his reputation and sought damages for defamation. Heard denied the allegations and made counterclaims against Depp.
After a sensational trial that revealed lurid details of their short marriage, the jury found in Depp's favor on all three of his claims relating to specific statements in the article. The jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. However, the judge reduced the punitive damages award to $350,000 under a state cap.
In a written order entered into the court record, Judge Penney Azcarate made the jury's award official on June 25, 2022, and ordered Heard to pay Depp $10.35 million for damaging his reputation. The judge also ordered Depp to pay Heard $2 million, the jury's award on her counterclaim that she was defamed by one of Depp's lawyers.
