Amber Heard confirms she will appeal verdict after Johnny Depp wins defamation case

Amber Heard has confirmed she will appeal the verdict of her defamation case against Johnny Depp after the jury ruled in his favour. A representative for the Aquaman actress announced her decision to the New York Times just hours after she released a statement claiming she was 'heartbroken' by the result.

The court ruled that Amber would have to pay her ex-husband $15million in damages after she lost the case. Johnny, 58, brought the case to court after accusing Amber, 36, of defaming him in a 2018 op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post entitled.

As a result Depp sued his ex-wife for $50million.
