Amber Heard lost the famous defamation case against her ex-husband, Johnny Depp. So, let’s found what she got and why she got it and the net worth in 2022 of Amber Heard
Johnny Depp, a well-known American actor, won a high-profile defamation case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, on Wednesday. Let me inform you that this case attracts so much traction on social media that it got its own Wikipedia page and fan clubs.
Over the past few weeks, this case had become the talk of the town and everyone wanted to know the real story behind both Heard and Depp’s allegations.
Explained How Much Did Amber Heard Win In The Verdict Vs Johnny And Her Net Worth In 2022
Last Friday, a jury in Fairfax, Virginia, began deliberations on the case. After writing an op-ed for ‘The Washington Post’ in 2018, Amber Heard was sued by Depp for USD 50 million, claiming she was a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
In reaction to this, after a year, Heard countersued Depp for USD 100 million, claiming that throughout their 15-month marriage, she was subjected to domestic violence.
During the trial, Heard has detailed more than a dozen incidents in which she claims Depp has mistreated her, including her claim that he sexually attacked her with a liquor bottle in an alcoholic fury.
However, Depp has denied any physical or sexual abuse and alleges that Heard made up the allegations in order to ruin his image. He also claims she has physically assaulted him on several occasions.
Now the final verdict on this matter came and it is revealed that Johnny Depp has won this case while Amber Heard is left frustrated and not satisfied with it. She, on the other hand, had also won something. So, let’s find out what does she got and why:
How Much Did Amber Heard Win?
During countersuing, she demanded $100 million but now she lost this case. But she still got $2 million in damages and $0 in punitive costs. However, despite the win, her current net worth stands at $-8 million with her set to pay Johnny $15 million as ordered by the jury.
Why Did She Win This Amount?
The jury determined that Depp’s lawyer Adam Waldman’s 1st and 3rd remarks to the Daily Mail (about false sexual assault charges and an “abuse hoax” by Heard against Depp) were not found slanderous in Heard’s counter-suit.
Waldman’s 2nd statement to the Daily Mail, however, was found to be false, defamatory, and made with real malice which said that Heard and her companions “spilled a little wine and roughed up the place, got their stories straight,” then dialled 911 to conduct a “hoax”).
As a consequence, Depp was ordered to pay Heard $2 million in civil damages and no punitive damages.
