Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have agreed a settlement in their defamation dispute. The former couple were embroiled in a six-week trial earlier this year over an op-ed the 'Aquaman' star wrote in 2018 about being a victim of domestic violence, with the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star ultimately winning over $10 million in damages after winning all three of his defamation claims and his ex-wife awarded $2 million after winning one of her three countersuit claims. And now the pair's lawyers have agreed a deal which will see the 36-year-old actress' insurance company pay $1 million to her ex-husband to end the case.
But in a statement, Amber - who sold her Los Angeles home to fund her legal action - admitted she has "lost faith in the American legal system" and claimed the 59-year-old actor had won because of a vote "for popularity and power over reason and due process". She said in a statement shared to Instagram: "After a great deal of deliberation I have made a very difficult decision to settle the defamation case brought against me by my ex-husband in Virginia. "It’s important for me to say that I never chose this.
I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed. "The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways in which women are re-victimised when they come forward. Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms I can agree to.
I have made no admission. "This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward.
