The panel ruled that actress Amber Heard defamed her ex-husband, actor Johnny Depp, in a widely seen six-week trial that included clear and frank evidence and testimony detailing the strained relationship between the former spouses.

The seven jurors (five men and two women) answered affirmatively in their decision, which was read in court, to the question of whether the headline and two excerpts from a 2018 Washington Post article by Heard contained defamatory content against Johnny Depp.

The commission awarded Heard $15 million in damages, while awarding $XNUMX million in damages.

Depp, 58, sued Heard, claiming in compensation $50 million, saying she made him discredit when she described herself as "the public figure who represents (the tragedy) of domestic violence" in a newspaper opinion piece.

In return, Heard, 36, is seeking compensation of $100 million, saying that Depp offended her when his lawyer called her accusations "malicious." Depp denied hitting Heard or any woman, and said that Heard was the one who used violence against him in their relationship.

Depp and Heard's testimony was circulated live on social media, attracting a large audience to watch the details of the couple's turbulent relationship.

It took the seven members of the panel, five men and two women, about 13 hours since Friday to reach a unanimous decision today in Fairfax court near Washington.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star sued his ex-wife for publishing an article in the Washington Post in 2018 that described herself as a "public figure modeling domestic violence."

Although Heard did not explicitly mention Johnny Depp's name in what she wrote, the actor considered that the article tarnished his reputation and undermined his career, and demanded $ 50 million in damages.
