Read More »If you’ve heard about the Johnny vs. Amber verdict, you may have the question: Why did Amber Heard get $2 million in her defamation case against Johnny Depp? The jury found the Pirates of the Caribbean star liable of one count of defamation against his ex-wife. Depp and Heard were married from 2015 to 2016. Heard filed for divorce in May 2016 after 15 months of marriage. In her divorce filing, she also obtained a temporary restraining order against Depp, claiming that he abused her while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Depp denied the accusations, and a $7 million settlement was reached out of court in August 2016. Heard pledged to donate the money to the ACLU and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. “Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm,” the two aid in a joint statement at the time.

When asked if the jury found that Heard had proven by a greater weight of the evidence that Mr. Waldman, while acting as an agent for Mr. Depp, made or published this statement,” the answer was also yes. The jury also answered yes to questions about if the statement was about Heard and if someone other than Heard had seen the statement. When the jury was asked the statement was false, the answer was no. When the jury was asked if Heard had “proven by clear and convincing evidence that the statement by Mr. Waldman was made in actual malice,” the answer was also yes. While Depp was found liable of one count of defamation, he wasn’t found liable of two other statements made by Waldman. One statement was published in The Daily Mail on April 8, 2020: “Amber Heard and her friends in the media used fake sexual violence allegations as both a sword and shield depending on her needs. They have selected some of her sexual violence hoax facts as a sword, inflicting them on the public and Mr. Depp.” When the jury was asked if Heard had “proven all elements of defamation,” the answer was no. A second statement was published in The Daily Mail on April 27, 2020: “We’ve reached the beginning of the end of Ms. Heard’s abuse hoax against Johnny Depp.” When the jury was asked if Heard had “proven all elements of defamation” for this statement, the answer was also no. In the end, the jury ordered Depp to pay Heard $2 million of compensatory damages and zero dollars of punitive damages. Compensatory damages are “money awarded to a plaintiff to compensate for damages, injury, or another incurred loss,” according to Investopedia. In civil court cases, compensatory damages are awarded where “loss has occurred as a result of the negligence or unlawful conduct of another party,” the site reports. Punitive damages, on the other hand are “legal recompense that a defendant found guilty of committing a wrong or offense is ordered to pay on top of compensatory damages,” according to Investopedia.

Spurgeon told CBS News that she predicts that Heard’s lawyers will try to appeal the verdict in hopes of a more favorable judgement and to reduce the payment. Another option is for Heard to post a bond for the $8.35 million in damages, which may not be feasible. “The question is if she says, ‘Look, I don’t have it. It’s not there — you can look in my bank accounts,’ then we can talk about things like garnishing her wages,” said CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson told the site. “That’s not an unusual situation where somebody says, ‘I don’t have — I can’t fulfill this,’ and so I certainly think because she has earning potential, part of her wages could be garnished as a result.” CBS News explained that if Heard was to file for bankruptcy, that would only eliminate the $8 million in compensatory damages, but she’d still have to pay the $350,000 in punitive damages, which generally can’t be discharged in a bankruptcy. Spurgeon also noted that Depp could choose not to execute the judgement and waive the monetary damages which would free Heard from her financial obligations. “He’s in the driver’s seat right now,” she said.
