A jury in Fairfax, Virginia has found in favour of Johnny Depp after seven weeks of explosive testimony in the $100 million defamation dispute between him and Amber Heard.

The actor was granted $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages for his role in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Minutes after the findings in his defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, were read, the 58-year-old issued a statement.

He later added, “The jury gave me my life back.” “Truth never perishes.”

Heard says the verdict in Johnny Depp’s favour has left her “heartbroken”: “The Disappointment I Feel Today Is Beyond Words.“

Depp sued Amber Heard for $50 million, and she responded with a $100 million countersuit. They both allege that the other has defamed them.

At 3 p.m., Judge Penney Azcarate summoned the jury to pronounce the verdict at the Fairfax County Courthouse in Fairfax, Virginia, where the trial had been going on for seven weeks.

‘I feel disappointed’

Heard described the decision as a “setback” for women.

“The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband,” In a statement, she said.

“I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback… It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously,” she stated.

A small crowd of onlookers and Depp supporters gathered outside the courthouse to await the judgement, with one man wearing a ““Jack Sparrow” pirate hat and a woman holding a banner that reads: “No matter what happens today, Johnny, you are a winner!!! And the whole world knows the TRUTH!!!“

During the trial, multiple witnesses, including bodyguards, Hollywood executives, agents, entertainment business specialists, doctors, friends, and family, testified.

Hundreds of supporters of the “Pirates” actor attended the broadcast trial, which was supported by a #JusticeForJohnnyDepp social media campaign.

Depp and Heard each spent days on the witness stand throughout the televised trial.

Both sides have alleged that their Hollywood careers have been harmed.
