The lawsuit between Johnny Depp and his former wife Amber Heard kept the world in suspense for weeks. The actor accused her of defaming him and ruining his career. The actress thought the same. She must now pay more than 10 million dollars to her ex.
At the announcement of the verdict, fans of Johnny Depp exult. Some Moments before, the jury rendered its judgment. Amber Heard is found guilty of defamation of her ex-husband Johnny Depp after writing an opinion piece on domestic violence. The actress is ordered to pay him 10 million in damages. “It’s a big step backwards for women, inside and outside the courts”valued Elaine Bredehoftattorney for Amber hearing.
A position that many analysts contradict. First of all, Johnny Depp has also been convicted of defamation and must pay two million in damages. Next, Amber hearing never filed a complaint against her ex-husband for domestic violence. “I don’t think this verdict is a setback for women. In the end, it is a judgment for defamation. It has been well established that there was defamation. It has nothing to do with the cause of women”according to Emily Baker, forensic analyst. In six weeks of trial, it was difficult for the jurors to navigate the chaotic relationship between the two actors.
