Later Johnny Depp married fellow Hollywood Actor, Amber Heard in 2015. Their short-lived relationship became the subject of endless headlines and several lawsuits. It finally ended with a divorce in 2017 but the lawsuits continued. 

In 2016, Amber Heard filed for divorce from Depp and was granted a temporary restraining order against him. She claimed that the actor had hit her with a phone leaving her bruised.

In 2017, the couple's divorce was finalized and a year later, Heard went on to write an op-ed for The Washington Post where she mentioned her experience with abuse. However, she did not directly name Depp in the article. However, her reference to a former partner who abused her and the timeline matching the couple’s relationship sparked speculation that Depp abused his wife. This created a lot of buzz and allegedly damaged Depp’s reputation.

In 2019, Depp sued Heard for defamation, claiming the first article published by the Post was a ruse for Heard to gain positive press for herself. He also rejected the claims that Heard was a victim of domestic violence. He sought $50 million in damages.



 

The trial was held in a Virginia court where shocking details of their relationship were revealed. Depp testified over the course of four days, while Heard's lawyers laid out evidence of Depp’s past drug and alcohol use.

After the weekslong trial, the jury heard the closing arguments and began deliberating. The jury delivered the verdict in June 2022 and unanimously found that Heard defamed Depp, awarding him $5 million in punitive damages and $10 million in compensatory damages. Meanwhile, Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages in her counterclaim. Following the verdict, Depp stated, "The jury gave me my life back," according to NBC news. Later in December, Heard announced that she settled the defamation case through an Instagram post.
