It’s been several days since the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard defamation trial has rolled in and their fans are now curious to know Johnny Depp verdict. So, if you are one of them, wondering what will be the result of the trial, we have scrutinized the complete matter below.
After a long wait of six weeks, the Jury has begun the deliberation of the high-profile case of Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard.
If you are following the trial closely, you already know that Mr. Depp, 58, sued his lady love, Amber, for $50 million on defamation charges. Amber Heard, on the other hand, turned the table claiming to be an abuse victim.
Back in 2015, the entertainment world saw two of the most gorgeous stars getting together as Johnny and Amber tied the knots. However, their wedding was short-lived as Amber filed a divorce case, just after a year of their marriage.
Initially, both the stars were dragged into the court, but they opted for an out-of-court settlement, which helped Amber yield $7 million, which she claimed to have donated to the charity.
Though the fans believed that the chapter of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard got closed, things were not that simple. Scroll down to know Johnny Depp verdict, the real reason why the stars sued each other, and much more.
Why Did Johnny Depp Sue His Ex-wife, Amber Heard?
The fan-favorite, Pirates of the Caribbean star, Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife, Amber Heard, over an article published in The Washington Post, in which she showered negative views on Johnny and claimed to be a victim of domestic violence.
Though the article did not clearly point out Johnny, it was dropped during the divorce of the stars. While the social media and their fan bases were heated up, the article came up as a stimulant to promote hate against the Pirate of the Caribbean star.
When Johnny Depp was interrogated over the claims of Heard, he openly denied all allegations and sued his ex-wife for defamation. He revealed that Amber’s false claims have caused him mental, professional, and financial constraints.
Johnny Depp has sued Amber Heard, his ex-wife for $50 million over the article. Heard has pursued a counterclaim of $100 million.
