Everything Happened in The Blink of An Eye. False, Severe, and Criminal Claims Were Made About Me in The Media, Resulting in A Never-Ending Bombardment of Nasty Material, Despite the Fact that No Charges Were Ever Filed Against Me. It Had Already Flown Twice Around the Globe in A Millisecond and Had a Profound Influence on My Life and Career.

Six Years Later, the Jury Returned My Life to Me. I’m Genuinely Awestruck. My Choice to Pursue This Lawsuit, Knowing Well Well the Magnitude of The Legal Challenges I Would Face and The Inevitable, Global Attention It Would Bring to My Life, Was Decided only After Much Deliberation.

I Owed It to My Children and All Those Who Have Stayed Strong in Their Support for Me, to Tell the Truth. I’m relieved that I’ve Finally Completed that Task.

I Am and Have Been Amazed by The Outpouring of Love, Support, and Generosity from All Corners of The Globe. I hope that My Search for The Truth Has Aided Others, Both Men, and Women, Who Have Found Themselves in Similar Situations, and That Those Who Support Them Never Give Up. I Also Hope That, Both in The Courts and In the Media, the Stance Will Henceforth Be “innocent until Proved Guilty.”

I’d Want to Thank the Judge, the Jurors, the Court Staff, and The Sheriffs for Their Selfless Efforts in Getting Us to This Point, as well as My Tenacious and Unshakable Legal Team for Their Tireless Efforts in Assisting Me in Sharing the Truth.

It’s a Stumbling Block. It Turns the Clock Back to A Period when A Woman Who Stood up And Spoke out Might Be Publically Humiliated and Disgraced.

It Undermines the Notion that Women’s Violence Should Be Regarded Seriously. I Believe Johnny’s Lawyers Were Successful in Persuading the Jury to Overlook the Crucial Issue of Freedom of Speech and To Disregard Evidence that Was so Conclusive that We Were Successful in The Uk.

Depp defeats ex-wife Heard in a slander claim. On Wednesday afternoon, a jury in Northern Virginia found in favor of Johnny Depp, ruling that his former wife Amber Heard defamed him by falsely accusing him of domestic abuse.

Depp is suing for $50 million in damages after Heard claimed she had become a “public figure symbolizing domestic violence” in a 2018 opinion-editorial column in The Washington Post. Despite the fact that the essay did not reference Depp by name, his lawyers claim it alluded to claims she made against him during their 2016 divorce.

The decision was postponed since the verdict form did not specify damages. On Wednesday, Judge Penney Azcarate sent jurors back to the deliberation chamber, postponing the verdict reading, which had been planned for 3 p.m. It’s unclear if jurors neglected to fill out all of their papers or whether the panel still has to decide on damages for one side or the other.
