For months, the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation cases dominated news coverage. The controversial defamation trial of the actors is being dramatised for the big screen just four months after the judgement.
“I think no matter what, it will mean something. I did the right thing,” Heard said. “I did everything I could to stand up for myself and the truth,” the actor was seen saying in the interview with Savannah Guthrie

Amber Heard was sued by Johnny Depp, as he accused Amber Heard of defaming him in an op-ed she wrote in Washington Post in 2018. After a highly messy trial, the jury found Amber guilty on several counts and the Virginia court ruled that Amber had defamed Depp, and Depp was awarded $15 million in damages. However, post losing this trial, Amber’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft had mentioned in an interview that Amber was in no position to pay the damages.
