Amber Heard Found Liable For Defamation, To Pay $15 Million In Damages

The Jury in the Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard trial has reached a verdict they find in favor of Johnny Depp.

Amber Heard is set to pay $15 million in damages. The breakdown is $10 million for compensatory damages and $5 million for punitive damages.

Johnny Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, certainly didn’t hold back as she made her closing arguments in court on Friday, claiming that Amber Heard had been fake crying on the stand and delivered “the performance of her lifetime… and she gave it.”

“We told you that this would be the performance of her lifetime, as a heroic survivor of abuse,” Camille said.

“You saw it… sobbing without tears.” Camille went on to discuss the restraining order that Amber filed against her former partner on May 27, 2016, arguing that it falsely gave the world the impression she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Johnny.

“Exactly six years later, we ask you to give Mr Depp his life back. What is at stake in this trial is a man’s life.”

Johnny Depp’s ex girlfriend Kate Moss earlier testified, denying Amber Heard’s rumor that the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star did pushed her down the stairs when they dated in the ’90s.
