Amber Heard has been seen in public for the first time since her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, was found guilty of defamation.

The Aquaman actress was pictured out and about on Thursday, eight days after the Pirates of the Caribbean actor was given $10.35 million in damages as a consequence of the verdict (with Heard, 36, receiving $2 million in damages in a countersuit).

Heard, who wore a green top with her blonde hair hung in waves down her back and was accompanied by her sister Whitney Henriquez, assistant, and bodyguard, flew into Teterboro Airport in New Jersey via private plane around midday on Thursday.

She was then transported to New York City before returning to the airport and flying into Washington, D.C. the same day, returning to her Virginia rental house that evening.

On June 1, a seven-person jury decided that Depp, 59, had shown Heard defamed him in her 2018 op-ed on coming out with sexual-violence charges, in a trial that began on April 11.

Due to a Virginia rule that limits punitive damages, the jury awarded Depp $15 million in damages, but Heard will only have to pay $10.35 million (the judge reduced the amount). Heard won one of the three defamation claims in her countersuit, and was granted $2 million in damages.

After the decision was read in court in Fairfax County, Virginia, Depp and his supporters cheered, with the actor declaring that the “jury given me my life back” in a statement.

Meanwhile, Heard termed the ruling a “setback” for women, and her lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, said her client intends to challenge the decision last week.

Heard defamed her ex-husband in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed that didn’t mention him by name, according to the jury. “I became a public figure representing domestic abuse,” she said, and “felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.”

Depp has claimed that he never abused Heard and that she damaged him physically.

On June 2, Depp was pictured waving to cameras in the United Kingdom, less than 24 hours after his court victory.

The Sleepy Hollow star was seen smiling as he left a hotel in Newcastle, England, wearing a black and white blazer, sunglasses, his hair down, and multiple bracelets.
