Johnny Depp won the libel lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard Wednesday, being awarded $15 million in damages.
The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in the countersuit.
Depp sued Heared for defamation over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
Depp sought $50 million in damages and Heard sought $100 million.
Both Depp and Heard released statements after the verdict:
