Actor Johnny Depp has appealed the case he won from his ex-wife Amber Heard. Heard received compensation of almost 2 million euros as a result of the case, but he does not agree with that. Heard also appealed at the beginning of this month.
The actress was awarded the compensation for defamation when Depp’s lawyer previously called her allegations of abuse a “hoax”.
In early June, Depp won Heard’s lawsuit against him. She had written about her experiences with domestic violence in an op-ed, and although Depp’s name was not mentioned, he felt it was clear that he was intended. His career and reputation would have suffered as a result, the actor said.
The jury agreed with Depp and ordered Heard to pay $15 million, 35 million less than Depp had demanded.
Heard, in turn, countered appealThat has yet to be initiated, so it is not yet clear whether the judge will approve it. Heard also petitioned the court to dismiss the verdict for fraud on the jury. That request is rejected.
