Amber Heard was ordered to pay her ex-husband Johnny Depp US$10.35 million in compensatory and punitive damages after a jury in Virginia ruled she had defamed him when she wrote an article in 2018 about being a victim of domestic abuse.

Amber recently admitted she could understand why people might dismiss her and her ex-husband as "Hollywood brats" for taking their differences to trial, but she insisted there was much more to the case than a former couple airing their dirty laundry in public. "But what people don't understand is that it is actually so much bigger than that. This is not only about our First Amendment right to speak."
