The Virginia court refused to review the verdict against Amber Heard, which was handed down in early June.
According to USA Today, a court in Virginia has refused to review a verdict that found defamatory allegations by actress Amber Heard that she was subjected to domestic violence by her ex-husband Johnny Depp.
The corresponding petition was filed in early July by Hurd's lawyers. According to them, the process passed with violations and should be carried out again. However, the court considered that there were no significant violations.
In early June, the jury found that there was malicious intent behind Amber's accusations against Johnny. They ruled that the actress must pay her ex-husband $15 million in compensation.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star previously accused his ex-wife of defamation and demanded a $50 million settlement in court. The reason was her article in The Washington Post, where Amber stated that she had been subjected to domestic violence. However, she did not indicate the names in the publication. However, Depp claimed that he was turned down for several major roles because of the article. Johnny also accused the ex-wife of domestic violence. After Heard filed a counterclaim, demanding $ 100 million from the Hollywood star.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met in 2009 on the set of The Rum Diary, they were married in 2015-2016. The trial began in April and received extensive coverage in the American press.
