The defamation lawsuit was filed by Johnny Depp in 2019 over a Washington Post op-ed which was written by his former wife, Amber Heard.

In it, the actress claimed to be a domestic abuse victim making things difficult for her former beau. His career took a major toll resulting in filing that case demanding $50 million from the actress for ruining his reputation. She countersued him for $100 million by stating that Depp’s attorney, Adam Waldman, damaged her career when he accused her of perpetrating an “abuse hoax.”

After weeks of trial, the court awarded Depp $10.35m in damages while the actor was ordered to pay $2 million to his ex-wife for the counter-suit. She chose to appeal that verdict. However, in a recent statement the Aquaman star posted on Instagram, she revealed having to withdraw her appeal. To settle the case, she will pay just $1 million to her ex-husband.
