Amber Heard filed a notice of appeal Thursday to challenge the verdict in Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against her after a jury determined that the “Aquaman” actress owed her ex-husband $10.35 million in damages.<\/p>\n

Heard, 36, is asking the Virginia Court of Appeals to overturn the panel’s decision after a shocking live-streamed trial that included the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor had penetrated with a liquor bottle and that she had lopped off the tip of his finger in a fit of rage.<\/p>\n

The one-page notice filed in Fairfax County Circuit Court had to be entered within 30 days of the June 24 judgment and is a precursor to a comprehensive motion that will lay out in detail Heard’s grounds for appeal. <\/p>\n

“We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the First Amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict,” Heard’s spokesperson said in a statement. <\/p>\n

“While we realize today’s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n

The latest filing comes after trial Judge Penney Azcarate shot down a series of Heard’s post-verdict motions in which she alleged Depp, 59, had failed to prove his claims and that a wrong juror had been seated in the case.<\/p>\n

After the six-week trial, a panel of seven jurors awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory and $5 million in punitive damages, finding that Heard had defamed him by penning a Washington Post op-ed referring to herself as a domestic abuse victim.<\/p>\n

Azcarate reduced the punitive damages to $350,000 \u2014 the maximum allowed under Virginia law \u2014 and entered a judgment against her for $10.35 million June 24.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Depp said there is no basis for an appeal. <\/p>\n

“The jury listened to the extensive evidence presented during the six-week trial and came to a clear and unanimous verdict that the defendant herself defended Mr. Depp in multiple instances,” the spokesperson said. “We remain confident in our case and that this verdict will stand.” <\/p>\n

The warring exes have been squaring off in protracted legal battles for more than six years, much longer than their brief 15-month marriage.<\/p>\n

Since her crushing defeat, Heard has been spotted shopping at TJ Maxx in the Hamptons, while Depp has been on tour with English guitarist Jeff Beck in Europe. <\/p>\n
