Actress Amber Heard and her former husband Johnny Depp have finally settled their defamation case, bringing it to an end.
Sources from local media outlets confirmed how the celeb has paid the famed Pirates of the Caribbean star a $1 million check to settle the ordeal. And both parties have acknowledged recently how the case is now closed.
The actress was seen speaking out in public about the matter, calling it a very difficult decision to settle the matter, and even issued a lengthy statement on the incident.
This is undoubtedly one of the most bitter cases that have come into the limelight in the world of showbiz and Hollywood. The world witnessed the drama unfold before their eyes as the former couple hashed out their differences in public.
But it was actor Johnny Depp who proved to be victorious in the end and attain his glory as the judge and jury decided in his favor.
The only thing left was seeing the actress’s side pay the remaining $1 million which they had been delaying for quite some time now. There were some rumors regarding the amount being waived off by Depp but that was not the case.
Heard’s insurance company did agree to make the payment yesterday but that also puts a new clause where Heard has zero restrictions on speaking on this matter as reported by Mail Online today.
This particular case has been played in a very sensible way in courtrooms where Heard alleged she was a victim of domestic abuse. She failed to name Depp in her infamous op-ed from The Washington Post but it was clear which direction she was pointing toward.
She may have won the legal in London but the one in the US, which was called the ultimate showdown, saw her suffering an incredible loss.
