At the end of the defamation trial, Depp, 59, was awarded $10million to $15million in compensatory damages and $5million in punitive damages. Before filing an appeal, Heard's attorney asked the judge to throw out the decision and declare a mistrial. Following the verdict, Bredhoft said in an interview with the Today Show that the actress was unable to pay the millions in damages she owes Depp. More than a month later, Heard's legal team filed a notice to appeal the verdict. Depp subsequently won the case in the eyes of the jury after they agreed he was defamed by Heard's 2018 op-ed on domestic abuse, although the Aquaman star was awarded $2 million on her counterclaim that she was defamed by one of Depp's attorneys after he called her allegations a hoax. The Texan-born actress was ordered to pay her ex-husband more than $10 million in damages at the end of the explosive trial in June which concluded after a gruelling six weeks of evidence and around 13 hours of deliberation.

With having to cancel multiple movies and coming up with a whole new plan for the movies to be released in the future. It does not get better with the Amber Heard controversy and the ongoing case with Ezra Miller. Where Depp completely lost two movie deals, Heard also said in court that her role in the DCEU’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was cut. And if she does file an appeal, that may end up conflicting with the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The verdict in Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard case came around 3 months ago.

So, it sounds as though Amber Heard is trying to bolster her legal representation as she tries to appeal the Johnny Depp defamation case verdict. This all comes after it was reported that Elaine was caught crying outside the courtroom during the trial. However, even after the trial’s verdict, which went against Amber Heard, Bredehoft was still standing by her client.
