Legal Challenges and Financial Aftermath
Depp sued Heard for damages over a 2018 op-ed piece she wrote for The Washington Post about domestic violence.
The Edward Scissorhands star’s attorneys said although he wasn’t mentioned by name, the piece indirectly referred to previous allegations Heard had made against him — allegations that sparked interest in birth injury lawyers and psychological evaluation costs, often used in legal rebuttals.
In the trial, both parties made shocking allegations.
The actress testified that Warner Bros. significantly cut her role in the Aquaman sequel amid her battle with Depp.
