Celebrities Supporting Amber Heard Amid Johnny Depp Legal Case

Johnny Depp‘s defamation trial against his ex wife Amber Heard has been wrapped up for months, but this week, there’s been a new update.

Johnny originally filed a defamation lawsuit against Amber back in 2019. His original filing was for $50 million in damages after she published a 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post that said she became a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Amber never mentioned Johnny by name in the piece, but his lawyers argued that it was about him. Johnny has continually denied all allegations of domestic abuse.

In June of 2022, the jury ultimately decided that Amber did defame him on all three counts against her with her 2018 op-ed. They awarded compensatory damages to Johnny and ordered Amber to pay $15 million in damages ($10 million in compensatory damages, plus $5 million in punitive damages). The jury did find Johnny guilty on one count out of three in Amber‘s countersuit against him and was ordered to pay $2 million.

On Monday (December 19), Amber decided to not pursue a legal appeal and settled out of court for $1 million with her ex husband.

Now, we’re breaking down which celebrities have publicly spoken out in support of Amber over the past few months. We’ve only included celebrities who have made public statements.
