Amber Heard on Thursday appealed a Virginia court’s ruling ordering her to pay ex-husband Johnny Depp over $10m during a high-profile defamation trial that exposed the inner workings of their troubled marriage.<\/p>\n

Heard’s lawyers filed in Fairfax county circuit court, where a six-week trial featured riveting testimony from both Heard and Depp. The document notifies the Virginia court of appeals that Heard intends to appeal the judgment, as well as rulings the judge made after the verdict, including rejecting Heard’s request to set aside the verdict and dismiss the argument or order a new trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the first amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict,\u201d a spokesperson for Heard said in a statement. \u201cWhile we realize today’s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Depp sued Heard for libel over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as \u201ca public figure representing domestic abuse\u201d.<\/p>\n

Depp’s lawyers alleged he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned him by name. Heard filed counterclaims, alleging that Depp’ former lawyer defamed her by publicly characterizing her abuses as a hoax.<\/p>\n

The jury ordered Heard to pay Depp $10m in compensatory damages and $5m in punitive damages. The punitive damages were reduced to $350,000 under a state cap. The jury awarded Heard $2m on her counterclaim.<\/p>\n

Much of the testimony during the six-week trial focused on Heard’s claims that she had been physically and sexually abused by Depp at least a dozen times. Depp insisted that he never hit Heard and that she was the abuser.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe jury listened to the extensive evidence presented during the six-week trial and came to a clear and unanimous verdict that the defendant defended himself Mr Depp in multiple instances,\u201d a spokesperson for Depp said in a statement. \u201cWe remain confident in our case and that this verdict will stand.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
