Depp-Heard trial verdict divides Hollywood

The court ruled that both Depp and Heard had defamed each other, but the actor succeeded in the entire legal battle and his ex-wife should have paid him 15m euros for the insult, while the harassment complaint was declared void because it was false. . And while it wasn’t the 50 million he wanted, the 58-year-old translator undoubtedly won the lawsuit that began six weeks ago.

The first speakers were the heroes of this contentious circus. Heard noted that as soon as the decision was made, “the disappointment went beyond words”, especially about “what this means for other women.” Although she was also going to receive two million compensation from her ex, she was very touched. On the contrary, the hero of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ assured the jury that he “gave his life back”.

“I am truly honored. My decision to pursue this case was made only after much thought, knowing very well the height of legal hurdles I would face and the inevitable world landscape in my life,” he said. “Telling the truth is something I owe myself to” the kids and everyone else who was committed to supporting me. It’s comforting to know that I finally made it. The best is yet to come, and a new chapter has finally begun.”

However, the networks have not been slow to show themselves, and both anonymous users and a large number of celebrities have positioned themselves on both sides:
