After Johnny Depp posted his first TikTok video, Amber Heard reacted

The The legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard ends At least for now, but that doesn’t mean the battle will take a back seat in the public eye. Following the ruling, in which both parties were found guilty of defamation, but the Pirates of the Caribbean The plaintiff received the highest compensation for the economic damage. Depp took advantage of his new TikTok account to thank his fans. Now, the Heard team has given its first public response.

In a press release made available to Eastern time by a spokesperson for Amber Heard referenced Depp’s first TikTok , where she talked about “moving forward” after the verdict, but said that in her opinion women’s rights go the other way. The statement says …

The verdict in the libel case was controversial as it stems from Amber Heard’s claims that she suffered domestic violence during her marriage to Johnny Depp. Depp’s alleged abuse was also at the center of a defamation case that Depp himself had previously filed against a British newspaper. Depp lost that case when the judge found Heard’s claims to be essentially true.

Amber Heard has promised to appeal the verdict, which requires her to pay Depp $ 15 million. Amber Heard also technically won a defamation counterclaim, but as a result, Depp was ordered to pay just $ 2 million in damages.

It’s certainly understandable that Johnny Depp has come out of that rather positive feeling, while Amber Heard’s statement makes it clear that he doesn’t feel that strong. The jury’s verdict sent a strong message and for Amber Heard and her supporters it probably seems like a major step backwards.

It is certainly not uncommon for at least the amount of damage to change significantly within an appeal, so while we don’t see an appeal resulting in a drastic change in opinion of the verdict, that could mean a very different amount of money passing through. out of hand

What the verdict might mean for the careers of Johnny Depp or Amber Heard is another question, and perhaps the most important. It is too early to have this answer for sure.
