Amber Heard was unsuccessful in the Johnny Depp trial. The actress is obligated to pay her ex-husband $10.4 million in damages, but her lawyer believes she is unable to do so. Amber Heard failed to convince the jury that she was right when she claimed in a 2018 Washington Post article that she was a victim of domestic violence.
Despite the fact that Johnny Depp’s name was not included in the piece, the actor claimed it had a negative impact on his career and sued his ex-wife for $ 50 million in damages. Heard, for her part, sued Depp for branding her a liar, seeking $ 100 million in damages.
They had defamed each other, according to the court. Jonny Deep will have to pay his ex-wife $2 million in damages, despite the fact that he did not do it directly but through his lawyer. In addition, the actress will be required to pay $ 10.4 million in damages.
Amber Heard is unable to compensate Johnny Depp in the amount of $ 10.4 million. Amber Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, claims that the actress will “definitely” be unable to pay such a big sum. She believes the actress was “demonized” by the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor’s legal team, and has stated that she plans to challenge the jury’s judgment. If she does, the actress will be required to pay a guarantee for a total of $ 10.35 million, plus interest.
If he is unable to pay, the court may order that some of his future wages be withheld.
