The 2022 highly publicized defamation and abuse trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp was both their lawsuits against each other. Depp sued Heard in a $50 million lawsuit filed over her 2018 Washington Post op-ed, claiming she referred to herself there as a victim of domestic abuse, though she had not named Depp during that time. She replied that he was abusive. Heard sued for $100 million after Depp's lawyer had called her accusations a "hoax." The six-week trial ended with the jury awarding $10.35 million in damages to Depp and awarding Heard $2 million. Both appealed the verdict.
