How Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation case shines a light on society's failings

<p>The world may have divided opinions about Amber Heard's personality but it can be safely said that she has the most beautiful face in the world. Well, if we go by science.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Heard dominated headlines in the recent past for her highly publicised defamation case against ex-husband Johnny Depp and while the verdict was declared mostly in favour of Depp, Heard did gain a lot of unwarranted attention. A special mapping formula found that the actress has a perfect face. The technique considered various features- and the distance between them to draw the perfect face. Features like eyes, lips, and face shape are measured and analysed to draw conclusions.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Heard's face analysis reportedly apparently reveals how close a face it is to the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, which is 1.618.<br />
<br />
Earlier in 2016, Heard's face was examined in a picture and Harley Street's Dr Julian De Silva found that her features were the closest at 91.85%.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dr De Silva while speaking to a journal said that after a new computer mapping technique was set in place and algorithms for the key marker points on a face were created, he decided to test the system on some of the world's most beautiful women.&nbsp;<br />

<br />
"The Phi ratio of 1.618 has long been thought to hold the secret for beauty, but now with the computer mapping we can calculate how it applies to real women," he added.<br />

Amber Heard has world's most beautiful face, according to science

<p>A few weeks after the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial ended, there are reports that Heard has signed a multimillion&nbsp;deal for the "tell-all revenge" book. The court gave the decision of the trial in favour of Johnny Depp and the actor was awarded 10.4 million dollars to be paid by Amber Heard who was awarded 2 million dollars to be paid by Depp. However, Amber's lawyers themselves have said that it is very difficult for Amber to pay Johnny the damages. Some believe that this multi-million book deal might help her. Even though the trial is over, they both are still in talks. Recently, Amber Heard was trolled for shopping at discounted stores, after her lawyers said she can't pay Johnny Depp.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Johnny Depp's face as Jack Sparrow was used in Disney light show after four years and fans demanded an apology. Amber, also gave an interview some days back revealing proofs of her abuse including chat screenshots with her father, she even called the decision biased.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Amber Heard Signs a Book Deal</strong></h2>

<p>New reports indicate&nbsp;that Amber Heard may have inked a multi-million dollar deal to write a “tell-all revenge book”.&nbsp; A&nbsp;source close to Heard told OK magazine,&nbsp;“Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She’s already in talks and is excited about it. At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all.

<p>The "Tell All Revenge" book will reportedly explore her marriage to Depp, his alleged abuse and the&nbsp;defamation trial.&nbsp;However, Heard may risk defaming Depp again in the book, as a source close to her also mentioned that she needs to be extra careful so that she doesn't land in legal trouble again. In&nbsp;2018&nbsp;Amber wrote an op-ed in which she claimed she had been a domestic abuse survivor. The op-ed led to Johnny filing a defamation suit against her even though he was not named in the article. Hence, if the book also presents the same claims or things related to it, she might get in trouble again.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If Amber Heard has the most beautiful face in the world according to science, the same algorithm has also declared Robert Pattinson as the most attractive man in the world. Back in 2020, the actor's beauty was judged using the Golden Ratio&nbsp;of Beauty Phi- an ancient Greek Calculation method- to measure the actor's face.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Two years on Pattinson continues to hold that title. According to a recent report by LadBible, the actor continues to remain the most attractive man on earth based on the algorithm that ranks different facial features analysed of other actors like Ryan Gosling, Idris Elba, Brad Pitt and Henry Cavill. While these actors are also known for their good looks, none of them could match Pattinson’s perfect features if we go by science.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In ancient times, this calculation was mainly used by architects and artists like Leonardo Da Vinci to map and measure the “perfect” length and width for their artistic creations.</p>

<p>'Aquaman' actress Amber Heard recently got candid and shared her experience of being on the witness stand for her defamation trial with her ex-husband and 'Pirates of the&nbsp;Caribbean' actor Johnny Depp.</p>

<p>On Friday, the 36-year-old actress&nbsp;gave an interview and said that it was terrifying to be cross-examined by Depp's legal team. Talking about her sexual assault claims against her ex-lover, Heard said that she felt intimidated and scared.</p>

<p>On an NBC News Dateline special, Heard said, "The scariest, most intimidating thing for anybody talking about sexual violence is not being believed, being called a liar, or being humiliated."&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the Friday&nbsp;special episode, the actress also alleged that a piece of evidence that wasn't allowed in the courtroom could have changed the entire verdict.</p>

<p>She said, "There's a binder worth of years of notes dating back to 2011 from the very beginning of my relationship that were taken by my doctor, who I was reporting the abuse to. Her notes represented years — years — of real-time explanations of what was going on."</p>

<p>After weeks-long trial, Depp was awarded&nbsp;$15 million in damages but Heard only has to pay $10.35 million due to Virginia law cap on punitive damages. The seven-person jury also awarded Heard $2 million in damages for her counterclaims against Depp.</p>

'Aquaman' actress Amber Heard recently got candid and shared her experience of being on the witness stand for her defamation trial with her ex-husband and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor Johnny Depp.

'Aquaman' actress Amber Heard recently got candid and shared her experience of being on the witness stand for her defamation trial with her ex-husband and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor Johnny Depp. On Friday, the 36-year-old actress gave an interview and said that it was terrifying to be cross-examined by Depp's legal team. Talking about her sexual assault claims against her ex-lover, Heard said that she felt intimidated and scared. On an NBC News Dateline special, Heard said, "The scariest, most intimidating thing for anybody talking about sexual violence is not being believed, being called a liar, or being humiliated." During the Friday special episode, the actress also alleged that a piece of evidence that wasn't allowed in the courtroom could have changed the entire verdict. She said, "There's a binder worth of years of notes dating back to 2011 from the very beginning of my relationship that were taken by my doctor, who I was reporting the abuse to. Her notes represented years — years — of real-time explanations of what was going on."

<p>A member of the jury in the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard case has spoken for the first time since the verdict was announced in Depp's favour a few weeks ago. The juror spoke to 'Good Morning America' about the trial verdict and why it was mostly in favour of the actor.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Heard has been ordered to pay USD 10.35 million in damages to Depp as a result of the trial.&nbsp;The juror revealed that Heard's emotional testimony did not seem real to the jury.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The juror said, "The crying, the facial expressions that she had, the staring at the jury. All of us were very uncomfortable. She would answer one question and she would be crying, and two seconds later she would turn ice cold. Some of us used the expression 'crocodile tears'."<br />
<br />
"A lot of the jury felt what (Depp) was saying, at the end of the day, was more believable. He just seemed a little more real in terms of how he was responding to questions. His emotional state was very stable throughout," the juror added.<br />
<br />
Heard's team has repeatedly stated that social media and all the elements opposing Heard on platforms like TikTok have turned the jury in Depp's favour. "I think even the most well-intentioned juror ... it would have been impossible to avoid this," Heard told NBC News this week.<br />
<br />
The juror denied such accusations about social media, saying, "We followed the evidence. Myself and other jurors don't use Twitter or Facebook. Others who had it, made a point not to talk about it."<br />
<br />
"What I think is truthful is that they were both abusive to each other," the juror concluded."I don't think that makes either of them right or wrong; but to rise to the level of what she was claiming, there wasn't enough or any evidence that really supported what she was saying," added the juror.<br />
<br />
One point during the trial that really hurt Heard's case was the revelation that she had not yet donated her USD 7 million divorce settlement to charity, despite claiming to do so.<br />
<br />
"She goes on a talk show in the UK and the video shows her sitting there, telling the host she gave all that money away. The terms she used in that video clip were, `I gave it away, I donated it, it`s gone.` But the fact is, she didn`t give much of it away at all," the juror concluded.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Depp filed a defamation case against Heard for an op-ed she wrote claiming she had been a victim of domestic violence. Depp was not named in the article but his legal team had argued that it hurt his reputation in Hollywood. Heard too slapped a counter lawsuit against him accusing him of physical and mental torture.&nbsp;</p>

Johnny Depp spends Rs 48 lakhs at an Indian eatery to celebrate the court's verdict against Amber Heard

<p>The jury may have given the verdict in his favour, but Hollywood insiders feel that Johnny Depp's reputation may not change completely and lead to major film roles.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Depp filed a multimillion-dollar defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard and after six weeks of trial, the jury gave verdict in favour of the actor mostly.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Speaking to People, one Hollywood insider stated that Depp's future in films still remained questionable. "I don't think he will ever be who he was. It was a waste of time and money and effort."<br />
<br />
The insider though felt Depp would get work in film again but added, "He will never be who he once was."</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-post-verdict-whats-next-for-johnny-depp-and-amber-heard-484514" hreflang="en">Post verdict, what's next for Johnny Depp and Amber Heard ?</a></strong><br />
<br />
Post-verdict an agent stated this "is a time to just move on and, if needed, to lick your wounds. Years of building up reputations have been torn down on both sides in a couple of weeks. Nobody truly won."<br />
<br />
Depp won all three defamation claims when it came to Heard's 2018 op-ed about coming forward with domestic-abuse claims, although she did not mention Depp by name in the article. The jurors sided with the Aquaman actress on one of her three countersuit claims of defamation, awarding her $2 million in damages.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-the-washington-post-fixes-amber-heards-op-ed-from-2018-after-verdict-announced-485293" hreflang="en">The Washington Post fixes Amber Heard's Op-Ed from 2018 post verdict</a><br />
<br />
Depp was removed from 'Fantastic Beasts 3' after he lost a libel case in the UK against a daily which called him a 'wife beater'. Depp was also supposed to star in the sixth part of 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' franchise but the film was put on hold.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Yes, Mr Depp can claim a moral victory, but let's not forget this was once a woman he loved that he dragged through the mud," the Hollywood agent said after Wednesday's verdict. "His career will flourish because this is the world that we live in, and Ms Heard will need to regroup both personally and professionally and pick a career path that in some small way will give her momentum."<br />
<br />
Most felt Depp would still enjoy a loyal fan base, which has over the past few months been active on social media, campaigning for the actor.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I can see him starting with his music as a way back and then a role(s) that showcases the old Johnny acting choices in an independent movie before the big tentpole," another source stated.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I think the music industry is more welcoming and can be the transition back. I do feel someone will give him a chance. He is very likeable and very talented. A studio will just have to gauge and see it worth the risk/value, but he also won public opinion. He gained a whole new fanbase through this, and yes, he will be back."<br />
<br />
Depp was not present in court when the verdict was announced but the actor later issued a statement and said the "best is yet to come."<br />
<br />
"Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed. All in the blink of an eye," he said.&nbsp;<br />
"False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me. It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career. And six years later, the jury gave me my life back."</p>

<br />
"I am truly humbled," Depp continued, in part. "My decision to pursue this case, knowing very well the height of the legal hurdles that I would be facing and the inevitable, worldwide spectacle into my life, was only made after considerable thought. From the very beginning, the goal of bringing this case was to reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome. Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that."<br />

Meanwhile, Heard expressed disappointment over the verdict and wrote on social media, "The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence and sway of my ex-husband. "<br />
<br />
"I'm even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback," she added. "It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously."<br />

"I believe Johnny's attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the UK," Heard continued. "I'm sad I lost this case. But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American — to speak freely and openly."</p>


The jury may have given the verdict in his favour, but Hollywood insiders feel that Johnny Depp's reputation may not change completely and lead to major film roles.

The jury may have given the verdict in his favour, but Hollywood insiders feel that Johnny Depp's reputation may not change completely and lead to major film roles. Depp filed a multimillion-dollar defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard and after six weeks of trial, the jury gave verdict in favour of the actor mostly. Speaking to People, one Hollywood insider stated that Depp's future in films still remained questionable. "I don't think he will ever be who he was. It was a waste of time and money and effort." The insider though felt Depp would get work in film again but added, "He will never be who he once was." Post verdict, what's next for Johnny Depp and Amber Heard ? Post-verdict an agent stated this "is a time to just move on and, if needed, to lick your wounds. Years of building up reputations have been torn down on both sides in a couple of weeks. Nobody truly won." Depp won all three defamation claims when it came to Heard's 2018 op-ed about coming forward with domestic-abuse claims, although she did not mention Depp by name in the article. The jurors sided with the Aquaman actress on one of her three countersuit claims of defamation, awarding her $2 million in damages. The Washington Post fixes Amber Heard's Op-Ed from 2018 post verdict Depp was removed from 'Fantastic Beasts 3' after he lost a libel case in the UK against a daily which called him a 'wife beater'. Depp was also supposed to star in the sixth part of 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' franchise but the film was put on hold. "Yes, Mr Depp can claim a moral victory, but let's not forget this was once a woman he loved that he dragged through the mud," the Hollywood agent said after Wednesday's verdict. "His career will flourish because this is the world that we live in, and Ms Heard will need to regroup both personally and professionally and pick a career path that in some small way will give her momentum." Most felt Depp would still enjoy a loyal fan base, which has over the past few months been active on social media, campaigning for the actor. "I can see him starting with his music as a way back and then a role(s) that showcases the old Johnny acting choices in an independent movie before the big tentpole," another source stated. "I think the music industry is more welcoming and can be the transition back. I do feel someone will give him a chance. He is very likeable and very talented. A studio will just have to gauge and see it worth the risk/value, but he also won public opinion. He gained a whole new fanbase through this, and yes, he will be back." Depp was not present in court when the verdict was announced but the actor later issued a statement and said the "best is yet to come." "Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed. All in the blink of an eye," he said. "False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me. It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career. And six years later, the jury gave me my life back." Can Johnny Depp's career bounce back with defamation verdict? "I am truly humbled," Depp continued, in part. "My decision to pursue this case, knowing very well the height of the legal hurdles that I would be facing and the inevitable, worldwide spectacle into my life, was only made after considerable thought. From the very beginning, the goal of bringing this case was to reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome. Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that." Meanwhile, Heard expressed disappointment over the verdict and wrote on social media, "The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence and sway of my ex-husband. " "I'm even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback," she added.

"I believe Johnny's attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the UK," Heard continued. "I'm sad I lost this case. But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American — to speak freely and openly."

Wait, what! Saudi man wishes to marry Amber Heard post defamation trial? Here's what we know

<p>The Washington Post on Thursday updated the top of Amber Heard's op-ed with an editor's note. Heard in the&nbsp;op-ed spoke about surviving domestic abuse. On Wednesday, a jury ruled a judgement in favour of Johnny Depp, 58, saying that Heard, 36, had defamed her ex-husband thrice in the op-ed. The op-ed was published in December 2018. In the verdict, the court awarded $10.35 million to Depp in damages and $2 million in her defamation countersuit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Thursday, Heard’s op-ed was altered with an editor’s note, which reflects on the journey of the case since it began. In response to Johnny Depp suing Heard for a 2018 defamatory article in June 2022 "following a trial in Fairfax County, Virginia Circuit Court, a jury found the actress accountable on three counts for the following statements, which Depp claimed were false and defamatory."</p>

<p>The statements are:-&nbsp;</p>

<p>1) 'I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture's wrath. That has to change.'</p>

<p>2) 'Then two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out.'</p>

<p>3) 'I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real-time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.'&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The jury separately found that Depp, through his lawyer Adam Waldman, defamed Heard in one of three counts in her countersuit," the post mentioned.&nbsp;The verdict alleged that Depp, through his lawyer, Adam Waldman, allegedly defamed Heard in one of three counts in her countersuit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Legal analyst Emily D. Baker says the case was well-followed by people globally, therefore, not taking the op-ed down and letting people know what happened is a good move.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/amber-heard-plans-to-appeal-ruling-that-she-defamed-johnny-depp-484578">Amber Heard plans to appeal ruling that she defamed Johnny Depp</a></p>

<p>Calling the verdict "shocking," Roy Gutterman, a professor at Syracuse University's Newhouse School, said it is difficult to evaluate the long-term effects of the defamation decision. The decision might prevent speakers and writers from addressing potential sensational issues, he added. He further said that the revelations made during the trials did not prove much but revealed the volatile relationship the two actors had.&nbsp;</p>

The Washington Post on Thursday updated the top of Amber Heard's op-ed with an editor's note. Heard in the op-ed spoke about surviving domestic abuse. On Wednesday, a jury ruled a judgement in favour of Johnny Depp, 58, saying that Heard, 36, had defamed her ex-husband thrice in the op-ed.

The Washington Post on Thursday updated the top of Amber Heard's op-ed with an editor's note. Heard in the op-ed spoke about surviving domestic abuse. On Wednesday, a jury ruled a judgement in favour of Johnny Depp, 58, saying that Heard, 36, had defamed her ex-husband thrice in the op-ed. The op-ed was published in December 2018. In the verdict, the court awarded $10.35 million to Depp in damages and $2 million in her defamation countersuit. On Thursday, Heard’s op-ed was altered with an editor’s note, which reflects on the journey of the case since it began. In response to Johnny Depp suing Heard for a 2018 defamatory article in June 2022 "following a trial in Fairfax County, Virginia Circuit Court, a jury found the actress accountable on three counts for the following statements, which Depp claimed were false and defamatory." The statements are:- 1) 'I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture's wrath. That has to change.' 2) 'Then two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out.' 3) 'I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real-time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.' "The jury separately found that Depp, through his lawyer Adam Waldman, defamed Heard in one of three counts in her countersuit," the post mentioned. The verdict alleged that Depp, through his lawyer, Adam Waldman, allegedly defamed Heard in one of three counts in her countersuit. Legal analyst Emily D. Baker says the case was well-followed by people globally, therefore, not taking the op-ed down and letting people know what happened is a good move. Also Read: Amber Heard plans to appeal ruling that she defamed Johnny Depp Calling the verdict "shocking," Roy Gutterman, a professor at Syracuse University's Newhouse School, said it is difficult to evaluate the long-term effects of the defamation decision. The decision might prevent speakers and writers from addressing potential sensational issues, he added. He further said that the revelations made during the trials did not prove much but revealed the volatile relationship the two actors had. Depp had previously lost a libel suit in the United Kingdom in November 2020, when he sued British tabloid The Sun for referring to him as a "wife-beater."

The Washington Post fixes Amber Heard's Op-Ed from 2018 post verdict

<p>"Aquaman" actor Amber Heard will appeal a jury`s decision that she defamed ex-husband Johnny Depp when she claimed she was a survivor of sexual violence, her attorney said on Thursday.<br />
<br />
A seven-person jury in Virginia ruled on Wednesday that Heard defamed the 'Pirates of the Caribbean'&nbsp;star and awarded him $10.35 million in damages. The jury also determined that Heard was defamed, awarding her $2 million.<br />
<br />
Elaine Charlson Bredehoft, one of Heard`s attorneys, said on NBC`s "Today" show that Depp`s team was "able to suppress an enormous amount of evidence" that was allowed in a libel case in Britain, which Depp lost.<br />
<br />
Depp sued British tabloid the Sun for calling him a "wife beater." A London High Court judge found Depp abused Heard at least a dozen times, but Heard`s lawyers were not allowed to tell the jury that in the Virginia case, Bredehoft said.<br />
<br />
"So what did Depp`s team learn from this? Demonize Amber, and suppress the evidence," Bredehoft said.<br />
<br />
"She was demonized here," Bredehoft added. "A number of things were allowed in this court that should not have been allowed, and it caused the jury to be confused."<br />

<br />
His future with the Pirates franchise still remains uncertain. During the trial, both Depp and his talent agent had testified that Heard's claims had damaged his career. The actor had claimed he lost a $22.5 million payday for being in a scrapped sixth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie. The movie along with Depp's character has been put on hold for the time. However, Depp's former longtime agent said that the makers decided to not include Depp owing to his unprofessional behaviour which included reporting late to sets.&nbsp;<br />

Amber Heard’s lawyer reveals actress cannot afford to pay $10 million to Johnny Depp

<p>After a US jury largely sided with Johnny Depp in his libel battle against Amber Heard, could the verdict help the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star to resurrect his flagging career?</p>

<p>A jubilant Depp on Wednesday said the jury "gave me my life back" as he was awarded more than $10 million in damages for defamation, in contrast to just $2 million for his ex-wife, who had counter-sued.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/new-chapter-has-begun-says-johnny-depp-after-winning-case-against-amber-heard-484275" hreflang="en">'New chapter has begun', says Johnny Depp after winning case against Amber Heard</a></p>

<p>Central to the high-profile trial were testimonies from Hollywood agents, accountants and lawyers, who were asked to assess whether the former couple had derailed one another's careers.</p>

<p>Jurors heard from Depp's side that he had lost a $22.5 million payday for a sixth "Pirates" film due to Heard's claims of abuse.</p>

<p>But Heard's legal team introduced witnesses who said her ex-husband's star was already losing its luster due to "unprofessional behavior" which included drinking and drug use.</p>

<p>"The damage that's done is done, and from this it might start a process back to some sort of normalcy," said a Hollywood producer who has worked with Depp in the past, but asked not to be identified.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/johnny-depp-amber-heard-defamation-trial-nears-an-end-key-moments-of-the-case-482566" hreflang="en">Johnny Depp wins defamation case against Amber Heard: Key moments of the case</a></p>

<p>"But I don't think he's going to get big, big, big studio jobs where there's so much on the line.</p>

<p>"If he's throwing bottles and taking drugs, and he's late, they're not gonna put up with the tardiness that costs a boatload of money for somebody who isn't a shining star any longer."</p>

<p>Major Hollywood studios may find it difficult to get insurance for mega-budget productions featuring Depp, the producer added.</p>

<p>"It's too risky to put a guy like that into billion-dollar franchises now," they said.</p>

<p>Similarly, while jurors and social media opinion may have swayed in Depp's direction during the trial, that is no guarantor that his box office appeal will return, particularly among women.</p>

<p>"The things he said are vile," said the producer, pointing to text messages introduced during the trial, which featured Depp calling Heard an "idiot cow" and talking about her "rotting corpse." &nbsp;</p>

<p>- 'Bad boy' -</p>

<p>Of course, while not directly comparable, Hollywood titans from Marlon Brando to Mel Gibson have enjoyed massive box office success after seismic controversies.</p>

<p>"I think there are studios that will be willing to work with him at this point," said Karen North, a University of Southern California professor specializing in reputation management.</p>

<p>Despite a string of recent flops, "he's almost always been very good for the box office," she said, noting that Depp is "as much in the public eye now as he ever has been because of the trial."</p>

<p>While a comeback from lurid accounts of alcohol- and drug-fueled binges could be problematic for someone with a more clean-cut image, Depp "has never said that he was a mild-mannered do-gooder."</p>

<p>"When somebody is a bit of a bad boy... when they're accused of doing something that involves being volatile, people say, 'Well, I'm not surprised -- it doesn't change who I think that person is.'"</p>

<p>"I think Johnny Depp is gonna come back personally, it makes sense," said North.</p>

<p>"That's assuming that he wants to, right? He has a lot of choices."</p>

<p>Depp spent the days before the verdict playing rock concerts in England with guitarist Jeff Beck, potentially demonstrating his interest are broader than a silver-screen comeback.</p>

<p>- 'French films' -</p>

<p>And if he were to return to the big screen, it would not necessarily need to be in glitzy Hollywood.</p>

<p>"He could become an indie darling, where the shoots are six to eight weeks, the payment is $250,000, and he gets 25 percent of the ownership of the movie, or something like that," said the producer who worked with Depp.</p>

<p>"And he could get nominated for some cool little role where the stakes aren't so high, and the budget's a couple million bucks, and he blows people away with some crazy performance."</p>

<p>And failing that? "He'll work in Europe. I mean, they don't care about this kind of thing," said the producer.</p>

<p>"He'll make French films. He'll make German films."</p>

A jubilant Depp on Wednesday said the jury "gave me my life back" as he was awarded more than $10 million in damages for defamation, in contrast to just $2 million for his ex-wife, who had counter-sued. 'New chapter has begun', says Johnny Depp after winning case against Amber Heard Central to the high-profile trial were testimonies from Hollywood agents, accountants and lawyers, who were asked to assess whether the former couple had derailed one another's careers. Jurors heard from Depp's side that he had lost a $22.5 million payday for a sixth "Pirates" film due to Heard's claims of abuse. But Heard's legal team introduced witnesses who said her ex-husband's star was already losing its luster due to "unprofessional behavior" which included drinking and drug use. "The damage that's done is done, and from this it might start a process back to some sort of normalcy," said a Hollywood producer who has worked with Depp in the past, but asked not to be identified. Johnny Depp wins defamation case against Amber Heard: Key moments of the case "But I don't think he's going to get big, big, big studio jobs where there's so much on the line. "If he's throwing bottles and taking drugs, and he's late, they're not gonna put up with the tardiness that costs a boatload of money for somebody who isn't a shining star any longer." Major Hollywood studios may find it difficult to get insurance for mega-budget productions featuring Depp, the producer added. "It's too risky to put a guy like that into billion-dollar franchises now," they said. Similarly, while jurors and social media opinion may have swayed in Depp's direction during the trial, that is no guarantor that his box office appeal will return, particularly among women. "The things he said are vile," said the producer, pointing to text messages introduced during the trial, which featured Depp calling Heard an "idiot cow" and talking about her "rotting corpse." - 'Bad boy' - Of course, while not directly comparable, Hollywood titans from Marlon Brando to Mel Gibson have enjoyed massive box office success after seismic controversies. "I think there are studios that will be willing to work with him at this point," said Karen North, a University of Southern California professor specializing in reputation management. Despite a string of recent flops, "he's almost always been very good for the box office," she said, noting that Depp is "as much in the public eye now as he ever has been because of the trial." While a comeback from lurid accounts of alcohol- and drug-fueled binges could be problematic for someone with a more clean-cut image, Depp "has never said that he was a mild-mannered do-gooder." "When somebody is a bit of a bad boy... when they're accused of doing something that involves being volatile, people say, 'Well, I'm not surprised -- it doesn't change who I think that person is.'" "I think Johnny Depp is gonna come back personally, it makes sense," said North. "That's assuming that he wants to, right? He has a lot of choices." Depp spent the days before the verdict playing rock concerts in England with guitarist Jeff Beck, potentially demonstrating his interest are broader than a silver-screen comeback. - 'French films' - And if he were to return to the big screen, it would not necessarily need to be in glitzy Hollywood. "He could become an indie darling, where the shoots are six to eight weeks, the payment is $250,000, and he gets 25 percent of the ownership of the movie, or something like that," said the producer who worked with Depp. "And he could get nominated for some cool little role where the stakes aren't so high, and the budget's a couple million bucks, and he blows people away with some crazy performance." And failing that? "He'll work in Europe. I mean, they don't care about this kind of thing," said the producer. "He'll make French films. He'll make German films."

Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial: Some memorable quotes from the case

<p>On Wednesday, the jury awarded Johnny Depp $15 million in damages and Amber Heard $2 million&nbsp;in their defamation lawsuits, but sided far more strongly with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star following an intense trial involving bitterly contested allegations of sexual violence and domestic abuse.</p>

<p>A “heartbroken” Heard called the verdict a “setback” and said that she is even more disappointed in "what this verdict means for women”.</p>

<p>“The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously."</p>

<p>The 36-year-old added, “I believe Johnny’s attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the UK. I’m sad I lost this case. But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American — to speak freely and openly.”</p>

It is a setback. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously." The 36-year-old added, “I believe Johnny’s attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the UK.

I'm heartbroken: Amber Heard 'disappointed' after Johnny Depp defamation case win

<p>Actor Johnny Depp took to Facebook to post a statement after the court in Virginia found that his ex-wife and actor Amber Heard had indeed defamed him. The verdict followed a six-week much publicised and closely watched case in which both had sued each other.</p>

<p>"Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also the lives of the people, who for many may years have supported and believed in me, were forever changed. All in a blink of an eye..," starts the statement.</p>

<p>Amber Heard had penned an opinion piece in Washington Post in 2018 accusing Johhny Depp of domestic abuse. Though the opinion piece did not mention Johnny by name, the fallout saw the actor losing movies in major franchises like Pirates of the Carribean, Fatastic beasts etc. The star power of the name Johnny Depp indeed took a hit.</p>
