The jury awarded Johnny $15 million in damages however Amber will solely have to pay $10.35 million due to a Virginia regulation limiting punitive damages (the choose diminished the quantity). In her countersuit, Amber gained one of many three defamation counts and was awarded $2 million in damages.
OK Magazine quoted a supply saying in regards to the e-book deal, “Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She’s already in talks and is excited about it. At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all.” As per the report, Amber is ‘broke’ and never ‘able to flip down cash’ for which she is set to take up the brand new enterprise.
Reacting to the event, author-lawyer Dror Bikel instructed OK, “The verdict in Virginia after weeks of lurid testimony was devastating to the credibility and fame of Amber Heard. The jurors basically discovered that Heard was not plausible in any respects. The jurors rejected her testimony in its entirety. One juror even commented that she was not plausible when she cried on the witness stand. Johnny Depp was awarded $10,0000, which is an amount of cash Heard can not pay. To the extent that Heard needs to talk about this case and her relationship with Depp in a tell-all assertion or e-book, she wants to be extraordinarily cautious as to what she says about him. Depp and his attorneys might be studying and listening to every part that Heard states. If she crosses the road, which is possible, there is no query that she might be hit with one other defamation go well with and find yourself proper again in court docket.”
