The Washington Post on Wednesday, June 1, added an explanatory sentence to the online version of the 2018 op-ed at the center of the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in response to the trial’s outcome.

The Virginia court ordered Amber to pay $10.35 million in damages to Johnny.

On Wednesday, June 1, the defamation trial filed by actor Johnny Depp against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, ended in a victory for Johnny’s side.

The Virginia court ordered Amber to pay $10.35 million in damages to Johnny.

And it was the content of an op-ed Amber wrote for the Washington Post in 2018 that triggered the trial.

In the op-ed, Amber, who at the time was serving as a “women’s rights ambassador” for the American Civil Liberties Union, accused herself of sexual assault. Although the name of the perpetrator was not explicitly mentioned in the article, Johnny pointed out, “It was written as if I was the perpetrator. He filed a lawsuit claiming that his image as a public figure had been damaged.

In response to this outcome, Amber’s editorial published in 2018, along with a detailed explanation of how the Virginia jury found “Amber responsible” for the three items at issue in the trial, added the sentence, “Depp claimed this content was false and defamatory.” The sentence “Depp claimed that this was false and defamatory” was added.

The three items in dispute were as follows

I spoke out against sexual violence. I have spoken out against sexual violence and faced public outrage. This must change.”

“And two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic violence and took the brunt of public outrage against women who accuse others of domestic violence.”

“I had the rare experience of seeing in real time how men in abusive positions are protected.”

In addition, Amber stated in her testimony, “This is not about Johnny. If there is one person who thinks this is about Johnny, it’s him.

Amber is appealing the decision, and her attorney, Elaine Bredehoeft, plans to file an appeal within 30 days.
