Johnny Depp and Amber Heard both reacted to the defamation verdict with social media posts
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images On Wednesday, June 1, a jury found Amber Heard guilty of defaming her ex-husband Johnny Depp in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed. The jury also awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, though that number will be adjusted to abide by Virginia law. Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages and $0 in punitive damages relating to Depp’s attorney Adam Waldman’s 2020 op-ed in The Daily Mail.
Depp went on to insist that his only intention going into the trial was “to reveal the truth,” adding, “I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that.” Finally, he thanked his fans for their “colossal support and kindness.” He also thanked the Judge, jurors, court staff, and his “unwavering legal team.” He also appeared to wink at the myth of cancel culture, saying, “I also hope that the position will now return to innocent until proven guilty, both within the courts and in the media.
Depp’s statement, posted on Instagram, received immediate support from a handful of famous fans. Ryan Adams, who has faced his own allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and emotional abuse , commented on Depp’s Instagram, leaving a series of congratulatory emojis — a heart, raised hands, and the fire emoji. Sofia Richie, Naomi Campbell, and Zedd also left comments of support.
