Johnny Depp has won his highly publicised defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
After jury deliberations, the news was announced and many have taken to social media to voice their opinion on the matter.
The controversial case ended with the jury deciding that Depp should be awarded $10m (£8m) in compensatory damages and $5m in punitive damages
This comes as the jury decided that Heard’s statements about her marriage were “false” and she acted with “actual malice”.
In a statement, Depp said, “False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me.
“It had already travelled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career and six years later, the jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled.”
In a win for Heard, the jury decided that Depp defamed Heard through his attorney and for this, Heard was awarded $2 million.
The case comes after allegations of drug abuse, domestic violence and assault from both parties.
