It seems the Depp-Heard saga continues.
Amber Heard filed a notice to appeal the verdict to pay her ex-husband Johnny Depp $10 million in damages. The appeal was made in Fairfax County Circuit Court on July 21, 2022. Depp followed that up on Friday with an appeal of his own to reverse the $2 million judgement awarded to Heard.
Depp brought a defamation suit against his ex-wife for making alleged claims of abuse in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor was awarded $15 million in damages (Heard was also awarded $2 million in a counter-claim).
Amber expressed her disappointment in the ruling on Instagram. She warned that the verdict "...sets back the idea that violence against women can be taken seriously."
