Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: Updates After Defamation Trial

Los Angeles, CA — Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have both moved on since their defamation trial that captivated audiences three years ago. The legal battle, which ended in 2022, saw Depp winning a $15 million verdict against Heard after a jury found her op-ed in The Washington Post to be defamatory.

Heard, who had claimed domestic abuse in her article, sold her California home and relocated to Spain in late 2022. Despite the controversy surrounding her, the 39-year-old actress recently returned to the spotlight at the Taormina Film Festival in Italy, where she promoted her 2023 independent film. However, IMDb indicates that she currently has no upcoming projects.

While working on ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ which she filmed before the trial, Heard expressed excitement about returning to work but felt let down by the outcome of the trial. A source said she was exhausted and felt mistreated.

Amidst her new life in Spain, Heard announced on Mother’s Day that she welcomed twins, Agnes and Ocean, expressing immense joy in her Instagram post. She described becoming a mother for the second time as a humbling experience, stating gratitude despite facing fertility challenges.

Meanwhile, Johnny Depp, who also faced scrutiny during the trial, appears to be crafting a comeback. At the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023, Depp noted the term “comeback” bothers him, mentioning that he never really went anywhere.

Depp is poised to release his film ‘Day Drinker,’ co-starring Penélope Cruz. Both films, ‘Day Drinker’ and ‘Jeanne du Barry,’ mark Depp’s return to acting after his tumultuous public battle.

In a recent interview, Depp expressed he felt boycotted during the allegations that marred his career. He remarked that one has to be blind not to recognize the impact of the turmoil surrounding the publicized trial.

Both Depp and Heard’s journey through the aftermath of their explosive trial continues to unfold, captivating their audience with each new development.
