Amber Heard Files For Bankruptcy; Unable To Pay $10 Million To Johnny Depp

 

Amber Heard - Johnny Depp

In the latest development in the Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp row, Heard surprised people by declaring bankruptcy after being unable to pay the fine of the trial to her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

According to various sources and media reports, Heard has now appealed the jury's decision to decrease the fine amount. She has also filed for bankruptcy.

After the end of the trial, the jury ruled that Heard had to pay $10 million in damages to Depp. Depp would also have to pay $2 million as compensation to Heard. However, the financial situation of Heard is not good at all.

As soon as the jury announced the verdict, Heard’s legal team explained to the judge that the woman would not have enough money to pay off the debt to Depp.

Heard filed for bankruptcy and on July 21 filed the appeal with the state of Virginia. The Hollywood actress would also be seeking a nullity of the judgment because she does not have enough money to pay her debt.

In July, Heard's insurance company claimed that Depp was willingly defamed by Heard. Moreover, the insurance company also refused to pay for the damages Heard owes Depp.

Her insurance coverage was from July 2018 to July 2019. During that time, she wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post in which she claimed to be a survivor of domestic abuse. Depp sued Heard for defamation because of that op-ed. Later on, Heard countersued Depp for $100 million in 2021.

Her request for a fresh trial in her defamation case against her ex-husband was denied by a Virginia court in July. In July 2022, Heard’s lawyer claimed that the Hollywood actress was unaware of the headline of her article. However, Depp’s legal team dismissed the appeal.

Can the actress pay $10 million to Johnny Depp?
