Amber Heard to appeal libel verdict after Johnny Depp drinks in Newcastle with Sam Fender

Amber Heard is set to appeal the verdict in her libel trial against Johnny Depp after the jury ruled against her.

A spokesman for the Aquaman actress told the New York Times that she has been left 'heartbroken' by the result and plans to appeal the decision.

Depp sued ex-wife Heard for 50 million dollars over her 2018 article in the Washington Post titled: “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath… That has to change.” The article does not mention Depp by name, yet his lawyers said it falsely implied he physically and sexually abused Heard while they were together.
