Actor Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard, who have been battling in a defamation lawsuit for a long time, have finally reached a settlement.
Amber Heard paid $1 million to Johnny to settle the defamation lawsuit.
Johnny Depp won a lawsuit against Amber Heard for defamation in June this year. As a result, Amber was ordered to pay Johnny $10.35 million in damages. However, it was reported that Amber was dissatisfied with this result and was moving to appeal or to hold a new trial.
According to what Johnny’s lawyer told BBC this time, Amber settled this defamation trial by paying Johnny 1 million dollars (about 130 million yen). As a result of the trial, Amber was ordered to pay 10.35 million dollars (about 1.41 billion yen), which was a considerable reduction.
On December 19, Amber released a statement on Instagram regarding this. Amber wrote that she had made the difficult decision to settle, but she added, “I didn’t do this by choice. I simply defended the truth, and in doing so, many lives were destroyed. The ill will I received on social media was a symbol of the secondary damage women suffer when they speak out,” “I do not condone (violence). This action (settlement) is not a concession,” and clearly stated that she does not condone the violence she received from Johnny.
