Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s legal battle
It was in 2022 when Depp and Heard faced each other in a heated defamation trial in Virginia. As the case unfolded on cameras, a lot of inside details came out about Depp and Heard’s relationship, and both accused the other of abuse. The jury sided in Depp’s favor, and Heard had to pay $1 million in the settlement. The aftermath saw the Aquaman actress sell her California residence and move to Madrid with her 3-year-old daughter.
