Background

The verdict has been reached. Johnny Depp won his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard and has been awarded $10 million in the defamation lawsuit and $5 million in punitive damages.

The defamation trial is based on the Washington op-ed piece Amber Heard wrote alleging to be the victim of domestic abuse. Johnny Depp won the trial proving, in a court of law, the articles to be defamatory.

Amber Heard couldn’t provide enough physical evidence of domestic abuse six years later in a court of law, allowing the jury panel of seven (majority men) to rule in majority favor of Depp.

People forget Amber Heard is not a time-traveling witch with the ability to conjure up visual flashbacks of physical and emotional abuse.

Even when she spoke up about her feelings regarding her marriage, her abusers continued to abuse her.

The defamation trial may have cleared Johnny Depp of abuse but it unveiled Amber Heard was NOT technically lying:
