For those unfamiliar with the case, Depp sued Heard for USD 50 million on defamation grounds, which he won USD 15 million for, after she wrote an Op-Ed in The Washington Post in 2018 portraying herself as the “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Despite the fact that she did not identify Depp in her opinion piece, it was evident that the defamatory article was aimed at him, her ex-husband whom she divorced in 2016 on domestic abuse charges. Heard counter-sued Depp for USD 100 million after the actor’s claim, citing three remarks made by Depp’s previous attorney Adam Waldman in an exclusive to Daily Mail.
