Amber Heard (36) has announced this Monday that she has reached an
agreement
in the multi-million dollar defamation case filed against her by her ex-husband, Johnny Depp (59).
The American actress, who has made the announcement in a post on her Instagram account, has not revealed the terms of the agreement, although various media, such as
The Daily Mail
, have estimated it at
one million dollars
.
In June 2021, a jury in the state of Virginia, on the east coast of the United States, ordered Depp, who had sued him for defamation
, to pay $10 million
.
For his part,
the actor was sentenced to pay Heard $2 million
after also being accused of defamation by Heard.
"After much deliberation, I have made the difficult decision
to settle
the defamation case brought against me by my ex-husband," she wrote in a post.
The actress, who was married to the protagonist of
Pirates of the Caribbean
between 2015 and 2017, assures that it is "very important" for her to emphasize that "I never looked for this situation. I defended my truth and in that task
my life as I knew it was destroyed
. " .
Since the ruling was issued, the
legal teams of both parties have been negotiating
to
avoid a third trial
and reach an agreement that, according to
The Mirror
and
The Daily Mail
, has been estimated at one
million dollars to be paid by the insurance company of the actress to her ex-husband.
The trial in which Heard and Depp faced each other in Virginia was
broadcast live
and became a
media circus
in which all kinds of intimacies and dirty laundry transcended.
Finally, the jury agreed with Depp
and ordered the actress to pay 10 million dollars in compensatory damages and 5 more in punitive damages, finally reduced to 350,000 dollars.
Heard appealed the ruling on December 7, since according to her defense there were
numerous errors during the process.

smear
I've faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways
women are revictimized

free of something I tried to let go of over six years ago
