Depp, in his libel suit accused  his ex-wife of hurting his reputation and damaging his career with her 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post.

New York Post reported that , the panel of seven in Fairfax awarded the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages after a 13 hours of deliberations.

However, because Virginia law caps punitive damages at $350,000, the actor was actually awarded a total $10.35 million.

The 58-year-old had sued Heard for $50 million over her 2018 Washington Post essay in which she wrote about facing “our culture’s wrath” for speaking out against a powerful man .

Heard did win her second of three counts in her $100 million counterclaim against her ex-husband, with the jury finding that his attorney Adam Waldman did defame her when he told the Daily Mail she set up Depp in a hoax when the police came to their apartment in May 2016.

Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez reacting to the verdict said; 

“Today’s verdict confirms what we have said from the beginning,” .

His attorney, Ben Chew, added: 

“We are also most pleased that the trial has resonated for so many people in the public who value truth and justice,”

The two lawyers did not take questions after their brief remarks.

The trial which lasted for six-week proved Johnny was the victim not Heard in ​their domestic abuse relationship.
