It was only natural to want to know if Johnny Depp would win the Defamation suit against ex-girlfriend Amber Heard. After all, the actress broke down into tears while explaining the abuse. She claims that she was abused by the movie star and his friends, including Eddie Redmayne, Billy Bob Thornton, James Franco, and others. Heard was even afraid for her life during the abuse.
However, she failed to get the support she needed, as her former partners were jealous of her. Moreover, she dated Elon Musk, James Franco, and Billy Bob Thornton after the breakup. And even Paul Bettany, who was supposed to testify about Depp’s divorce, was reportedly involved in the trial. Follow CENTRALFALLOUT for more updates.
Johnny Depp Wins Case Against Amber Heard: Johnny Depp V/S Amber Heard
Defamation suit
The news that Johnny Depp has won a defamation suit against his wife Amber Heard is an enormous victory for the actor. The defamation suit stems from an article Heard wrote in The Washington Post in December 2018 that said Depp is a “wife-beater.” The article is “substantially true”, and Depp won his libel case. The decision is important for the actor and the rest of Hollywood.
The defamation suit alleges that Depp abusing Heard during the two-year relationship has led to his wife’s mental illness. The actor was accused of abusing alcohol and drugs.
Heard argued that she repeatedly struck Depp to protect her sister in self-defense. Depp was never convicted of assaulting Heard. Depp’s attorney, Juda Engelmayer, said that Depp had won the court of public opinion and the case would go to trial.
The couple first became romantically involved in 2012 and eventually got engaged in 2014. In 2015, the couple married and separated. In 2017, the couple finalized their divorce, and Depp filed the suit.
Heard has denied any involvement in the defamation lawsuit and is appealing it. But she may be in for the most shocking news of her life: he’s won the defamation suit against Amber Heard.
Jury verdict
In the recent trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, a jury found the actor not guilty. A jury heard testimony from both parties about sexual assault and other claims.
Heard testified that Depp had attacked her in Australia and tore her hair out. Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, tried to discredit her testimony by presenting graphic photos of the actor’s bloodied finger.
The case centered on an article Heard wrote for the Washington Post in December of last year. The report did not mention Depp by name but mentioned the marriage. Heard maintained that all the allegations contained in the article were true.
She sued Depp for defamation in 2020. Her lawyer, who represents Depp in other legal matters, called the allegations against him “hoaxes” and said Heard was merely acting as his agent.
While it was necessary to remember that both sides used lies, the jury was not blind to that. In the case of Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard, the jury had to determine whether Heard lied about her experiences with the actor.
In addition, the jury had to decide whether Depp’s former lawyer acted as an agent for Heard and with malice. If the latter is true, the jury awarded Depp $10 million.
Ex-girlfriend Moss testifies about alleged abuse by Johnny Depp.
The Hollywood star’s former girlfriend Kate Moss will testify about alleged abuse by Depp in the courtroom today. The model and actress dated Depp from 1994 to 1997.

The actress’ name came up when she appeared on the witness stand in October 2017. Amber Heard, also suing Depp, also mentioned Kate Moss in her testimony. Amber Heard said she alleged that Depp pushed Moss down the stairs after an altercation with the actress.
Amber Heard said she was trying to stop Depp when she was “in the line of fire.” Kate Moss also recalled an alleged incident between Depp and her younger sister, Whitney Henriquez, which happened in Jamaica.
