Johnny Depp has won his multimillion-dollar US lawsuit against former wife Amber Heard after a jury ruled her 2018 article in the Washington Post was defamatory. Mr Depp sued the Aquaman star for $50m 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, but 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 Wednesday (June 1).
Ms Heard, who was sitting between members of her legal team at the front of the court room, looked downcast as the ruling was read out by the judge. The actress had her head bowed and appeared to be listening intently to the verdict.
