Defeat: “You have this. A remarkable verdict for Johnny Depp, but not a complete one. A devastating defeat indeed for Amber Heard, even though he won on one occasion.” @TerryMoran reports. https://t.co/zCitxTSXr7 pic.twitter.com/rxkirdqdqH

The jury paid Hurd $ 15 million in compensation and Hurd $ 2 million.
The jury also found that Hurd’s statements about her marriage were “false” and conveyed a “defamatory image” to people other than Depp, and also found that he had acted in “real malice.”
The jury, on the other hand, found out that Johnny Depp had defamed Hurd, but through his lawyer, Adam Waldman, and so you will receive $ 2 million in damages, while not receiving anything as punitive damages.
The lengthy trial consisted of clear evidence and testimonies detailing the strained relationship between the former spouses.
Depp, 58, sued Hurd for $ 50 million in damages, saying he tarnished his reputation by calling himself a “public figure who represents the (tragedy) of domestic violence” in a newspaper review.
Hurd, 36, is seeking $ 100 million in damages and says Depp abused him when his lawyer called his allegations “malicious.”
Depp denied hitting Hurd or a woman, saying that Hurd was the one who used violence against them in their relationship.
Depp and Hurd’s testimony was broadcast live on social media and attracted a large audience to see the details of the couple’s troubled relationship.
