Johnny Depp has won his defamation case against Amber Heard.
The jury of five men and two women returned its verdict on Wednesday after nearly 13 hours of deliberation spread over three days at the district court in Fairfax, Virginia.
They found Ms Heard had defamed Mr Depp, saying she had acted with "malice".
Mr Depp sued the Aquaman star for $50 million dollars over the piece, titled: "I spoke up against sexual violence - and faced our culture's wrath. That has to change."
The article does not mention Mr Depp by name, yet his lawyers said it falsely implied he physically and sexually abused Ms Heard while they were together.
Following six weeks of evidence and roughly 13 hours of deliberation, jurors returned a verdict in favour of Mr Depp on June 1.
Depp was awarded compensatory damages of $10million (£8million) and a further $5million (£4million) in punitive damages.
Heard was awarded compensatory damages of $2million after proving one of her counterclaims to the jury.
Ms Heard was present for the verdict but Mr Depp was not, as a source confirmed to the PA news agency that he was still in the UK.
In the past few days, the actor has made appearances on stage alongside musician Jeff Beck in Sheffield and London's Royal Albert Hall.
At the time the verdict was returned, he was reported to be in the north east of England.
The Edward Scissorhands actor had consistently denied the "outrageous, outlandish" claims of abuse and said he had "spoken up for what I have been carrying on my back reluctantly for six years" during his own evidence.
The court previously heard that descriptions of Mr Depp's drug use and violence were exaggerated by Ms Heard and her legal team.
Amber countersued the actor for $100 million over remarks made by Johnny's lawyer, which she claims was defamation, The Mirror reports.
Over the past six weeks, the jury has heard from both Depp and Heard as well as a host of witnesses, including supermodel Kate Moss, as the couple's relationship was revealed for all the world to hear.
Due to the US federal holiday Memorial Day, held on May 30, the jury returned to continue its deliberations on May 31.
Closing proceedings on Friday, Judge Penney Azcarate reminded jurors of their obligation to consider all the evidence before reaching their conclusions, and forbade them from using outside sources for research purposes.
Lawyers for both actors also implored for the other side to "take responsibility" for their actions.
For Depp, attorney Camille Vasquez called Heard an "abuser" and a "deeply, troubled person desperate for attention".
Heard's lawyer Ben Rottenborn, meanwhile, read out dark texts from the actor about wanting to "burn" his now ex-wife - adding while Heard "isn't perfect", if "Johnny abused her one time, she wins".
Meanwhile, the court was told of altercations between the pair with Heard saying that she was physically abused by Depp during their time together.
Heard's lawyer, Mr Rottenborn, meanwhile, closed his argument by asking jurors to think about the message Depp and his legal team are sending to Heard and by extension to victims of domestic abuse, "if you didn't take pictures, it didn't happen."
He went on: "If you did take pictures, they're fake. If you didn't tell your friends, you're lying. And if you did tell your friends, they're part of the hoax.
"If you didn't seek medical treatment, you weren't injured. If you did seek medical treatment, you're crazy."
