UPDATE: A source close to Johnny Depp told The Daily Beast that Amber Heard agreed to pay her ex-husband $1 million to end the case, a deal that allows her to avoid paying the full $10 million.
actress $2 million in compensatory damages after finding she was defamed when Depp’s ex-attorney, Adam Waldman, falsely described her domestic violence claims as a “hoax.”
In a statement to The Daily Beast, Depp’s lawyers said they were “pleased to formally close the door on this painful chapter for Mr. Depp, who made clear throughout this process that his priority was about bringing the truth to light.” In announcing the settlement, Heard slammed the “vilification” that she faced on social media during the trial, which was meticulously documented and caricatured by legions of Depp fans. She said that what she endured online was “an amplified version of the ways in which women are re-victimized when they come forward” with allegations of sexual and domestic violence, and the settlement was an opportunity to “emancipate” herself from the case on her own terms.
Throughout the trial, both actors described vastly different aspects of their relationship, which began on the set of the 2011 film. After they married in Feb. 2015, the two described becoming victims of physical abuse from the other—including a harrowing trip to Australia. In May 2016, Heard filed for a temporary restraining order after an incident at their downtown Los Angeles apartment, where the actress told jurors that Depp threw a phone at her.
She said that in the interim, she suffered “a type of humiliation that I simply cannot re-live” and that even if her appeal was successful, “the best outcome would be a re-trial where a new jury would have to consider” the same evidence again.
