So Johnny Depp won…

Amber Heard defamed him….where? The op-ed doesn’t mention him at all? He won all that money because it was implied he abused her.
They’re both vile people, but sorry, this is a powerful, mega rich man who is seen as an excellent actor, who has public opinion on his side. The jury can see this and have bent if not broken the law to find in his favour.
Victims of abuse will be more afraid to speak out now. #MeToo has been set back years.

Nice one, America 😥

Both Depp and Heard are selfish nasty people. If the jury could have directed both payments to some charity for families, I'd be much happier.

I didn't listen to all the evidence, and I'm not a lawyer, so I have no reason to doubt that the jury did the right thing in finding Depp owed $2 million to Heard and Heard owed $15 million to Depp. Like I say, I'd be much happier if all the money went to some charity.
