US jury hands Johnny Depp victory, backs Amber Heard counterclaim

A US jury in the state of Virginia handed actor Johnny Depp a court victory, finding that he was the victim of defamation from ex-wife Amber Heard in a 2018 op-ed. But it also supported the actress' countersuit.

Heard wrote a 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post newspaper in which she claimed that "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." The article did not name Depp but was published two years after Heard filed for divorce.
