• Amber Heard was awarded $8.35 million in damages as a result of her loss.
• Depp could waive the charge or negotiate a smaller sum.

Amber Heard was awarded $8.35 million in damages as a result of her loss. The primary concern will be how she will pay the massive damages bill, which she will have to pay over the next 30 years.

Depp waiving the charge or negotiating a smaller sum, according to legal experts, is one option.

Heard has made a fortune through her roles in television shows and films such as “Aquaman” and “Aquaman 2.” After their 2016 divorce, the actress received a $7 million settlement from her ex-husband Depp.

He’s [Depp] in the driver’s seat right now,’ said Sandra Spurgeon of Lexington, Kentucky’s Spurgeon Law Group. If the winning party seeks to execute the judgment and the individual does not have the financial means to pay the judgment and post the bond, there is a serious problem.’

However, if he does force her to pay the whole amount, Heard may file a claim for damages. Even if she wins her appeal with a new judge, she will still have to pay the entire sum while the appeal is being reviewed, which might lead her to file for bankruptcy.

Jemima Goldsmith tweeted: “I wish Johnny Depp would now give a statement waiving all Amber Heard’s damages, saying it was never about the money, urge the trolls to stand down & wish her well.”

However, her ex-husband Depp, who she accused of domestic abuse, has not decided to waive the damages yet.
