Amber was ordered to pay $10 million in compensatory charges along with $5 million in punitive damages but later it was further reduced to $350,000 by the Virginia court. On the other hand, the actress received $2 million over an issue of defamation from Depp’s team. The duo had got married in 2015 but in 2016, they got divorced. Soon after their divorce, the actress had accused Johnny of domestic abuse and violence.
A while back, Amber Heard took to her Instagram handle and announced that she has finally decided to settle the case between her and Johnny Depp as she has lost her faith in the legal system. Her post can be read as, “I make this decision having lost faith in the American legal system, where my unprotected testimony served as entertainment and social media fodder. When I stood before a judge in the UK, I was vindicated by a robust, impartial and fair system, where I was protected from having to give the worst moments of my testimony in front of the world’s media, and where the court found that I was subjected to domestic and s*xual violence.”
