Amber Heard and Johnny Depp :
The jury in the high profile finally delivered its decision. The Jury found that actress had made defamatory claims of abuse against her ex-husband and awarded him $15 million in damages. Precisely, the jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Heard was also awarded $2 million in compensatory damages and no punitive damages.
The seven-member jury in Virginia found that a 2018 article penned by Heard on the "sexual violence" she had suffered was defamatory to Depp, and was written with malicious intent -- making her guilty of libel.
