The newspaper is not a defendant. Heard denied injuring Depp's finger and said Depp sexually assaulted her that night with a liquor bottle. He said the top of the finger was severed when Heard threw a vodka bottle at him in 2015. The headline said Heard "spoke up against sexual violence - and faced our culture's wrath." The article did not mention Depp by name but his lawyer told jurors it was clear that Heard was referring to him. At the center of the legal case is a December 2018 opinion piece by Heard in the Washington Post in which she made the statement about domestic abuse.

The jury will decide whether, on the balance of probability, Heard did defame Depp in a 2018 Washington Post article.

Heard claimed The Washington Post article was not about Depp. “It’s not about Johnny,” she told the court. Ms Henriquez said she was struck in the back. One juror who was chosen told the selection process that his wife had texted him saying: “Amber is psychotic. “I thought it was a very well written opinion piece,” he said.

Johnny Depp hit the stage on the guitar with friend and collaborator Jeff Beck for the second night in a row.

In March 2021, his attempt to overturn the decision was overruled. He is part of the band Hollywood Vampires with rockers Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. Beck added at the time, "You'll be hearing more from Johnny and me in a little while but until then we hope you find some comfort and solidarity in our take on this Lennon classic."

Depp's appearances on stage in the UK come days after his and Amber Heard's lawyer gave their closing arguments in their defamation trial.

Depp alleged that in reality Heard instead physically and verbally attacked him throughout their relationship. Johnny Depp first filed the lawsuit against Heard in March 2019, accusing her of defaming him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she described herself as a victim of domestic violence. "He came knocking on my dressing-room door about five years ago, and we haven't stopped laughing since," Beck said onstage in one video, according Sky News. "We kept it quiet because…

WASHINGTON (WJLA) — Johnny Depp did not have a quiet Memorial Day weekend as he awaited a verdict in his $50 million defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard.

She penned a 2018 opinion piece in the Washington Post and said she is a survivor of domestic abuse. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor is suing his ex-wife for $50 million over allegations Heard made about domestic abuse. Depp joined Beck for a joint performance of their 2020 collaboration song "Isolation," Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and Jimmy Hendrix's "Little Wing," TMZ said.

Former “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Depp has been locked in a protracted defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard for the last several weeks.

“Jeff Beck and I recorded this song Isolation last year, as our take on a beautiful John Lennon tune. Afraid of the Sun!’ — seemed to Jeff and me especially profound right now, this song about isolation, fear, and existential risks to our world,” Depp said back then in a press release on Beck’s website. Here he is, my good mate.” “He came knocking on my dressing room door about five years ago, and we haven’t stopped laughing since,” the “E-Pro” singer said. Ahead of verdict in trial with Heard, Johnny Depp straps on a guitar with Jeff Beck Depp made a surprise appearance on stage with guitarist Jeff Beck not once but twice over the Memorial Day weekend while waiting for the verdict in his trial with Heard.

One of the statements is, “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.” The other statement is, “I had the vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.” “It is clear that the title is the statement.” On the jury verdict forms, the headline is one of three statements that the jury has to weigh in determining whether to rule for Depp. The seven jurors also have to decide whether statements in the content of the op-ed are defamatory.

Courtroom porn and social media have turned innocent bystanders into a mass of mudslingers.

I wasn’t surprised that the memes about Amber Heard far outnumbered those about Johnny Depp. I wasn’t surprised that the cruel and vitriolic discourse was predominantly aimed at the woman. And the queasier I felt about this behavior—even if millions of others were doing the same—the more I came to realize that distortion, not objectivity, has evolved into an acceptable lingua franca. This blurring of public figures and private lives can do a number on us—as bystanders, as an audience. What’s more, we have become so attuned to this narrow, cynical cycle of social media encounters that we consider the trial not tragic or pathetic, but as a pure car wreck: accessible, tawdry, and immediately gratifying. It’s like going to the opera and reading a couple of translated supertitles but not understanding Italian. And despite whatever else this is, it is a soap opera. As we all do nowadays, we watch or we read or we media-graze about these private turned public spectacles in bits and bytes, fearing that the sheer rancor and vulgarity might leave a kind of virtual stench—or, in my case, worrying that prolonged viewing might be triggering.

The jury has been deliberating all day on Tuesday as spectators eagerly await a verdict outside the Virginia courthouse.

First, the jury could rule completely in Depp's favor, meaning Depp would be awarded the entire $50 million he sought in his lawsuit. With the jury continuing its deliberations in the Johnny Depp v. The court has heard audio recordings of the couple's volatile arguments, graphic details of Depp's severed finger injury and Heard's alleged bruising, among other key moments.

The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial has grabbed headlines due to the often grotesque and sordid details of the couple's troubled marriage.

Depp has claimed that Heard’s op-ed cost him a lucrative return to the world of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” losing him a $22.5 million payday. Depp seemed to acknowledge that he could have been ousted prior to Heard’s piece, but still linked it to her initial allegations in the 2016 divorce filing. For her part, Heard has claimed that Depp orchestrated a smear campaign that nearly cost her a role in the sequel to “Aquaman,” along with endorsements and other TV and film opportunities. Heard said she had to “fight really hard” to keep her part as Aquaman’s love interest in the upcoming sequel and that even when she prevailed, she still had to contend with reduced screen time. Kovacevic said that “Aquaman” was a global blockbuster — grossing over $1 billion — and that Heard’s performance was favorably reviewed, and argued that she should have rocketed to stardom after that, citing Ana de Armas as a potential comparable career path. It wasn’t negative publicity stemming from the Depp legal fight that nearly lost Heard the part, he argued in a taped deposition. But crews don’t love sitting around for hours and hours and hours waiting for the star to show up.” A 2019 Rolling Stone article depicted the actor as drunk and high on drugs, and had raised alarms over the unwelcome publicity that he could bring to projects. But the op-ed was published two and a half years after Heard first leveled abuse allegations, which had already led studios to begin to turn away from the star. But the testimony showed that Depp was a star in serious decline even before the allegations, and a series of legal setbacks made him virtually unemployable by major studios. Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” with Depp as the Mad Hatter grossed over $1 billion, while the duo also scored a hit with their remake of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Sweeney Todd.” But over the last decade, Depp’s box office prowess had waned, with flops such as “Mortdecai,” “Transcendence” and “Black Mass” piling up and puncturing his commercial reputation. The studio had to rely on extensive CGI to cover up his injury, yet another example, one manifested in pixels and green-screens, of the drama surrounding Depp coloring his professional life.

The jury in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's libel trial finished a second day of deliberations Tuesday without reaching a verdict.

In their written motion, Depp's attorneys said Heard's lawyer told the jury that its decision in the case would send a message to "every victim of domestic abuse everywhere." Depp is suing Heard for $50 million, accusing her of libeling him with a 2018 op-ed she wrote describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." The seven-person civil jury resumed deliberations Tuesday morning.

The verdict for the defamation trial will be read this week.

Heard said she did not know how the injury occurred. Depp and Heard each spent days on the witness stand during the televised trial, which was attended by hundreds of fans of the "Pirates" star and accompanied by a #JusticeForJohnnyDepp campaign on social media.

A jury has finished a second day of deliberations without reaching a verdict in the defamation lawsuits of Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard.

During his testimony, Depp testified that he never struck Heard, that she concocted the abuse allegations, and that she was the one who physically attacked him, multiple times. Heard testified that Depp physically or sexually assaulted her more than a dozen times. Each accuses the other of destroying their career.

The waiting continued Tuesday at the Fairfax County Courthouse, but some Johnny Depp fans are sticking around to show their loyalty to the actor.

Fans debated whether they would commit to spending Wednesday at the courthouse. Depp’s daily appearance in the courthouse has led to a circus outside of it. “I’m going to stay here only because I wanted to say hello — they’re going to leave after the verdict,” she said. “I’m here to support him and hope he gets the verdict he deserves.” A handful of fans and curious observers sat in the hallway outside courtroom 5J, where the seven-week trial has been taking place, and compared notes on what they knew about Depp’s status. Someone set up a cluster of microphones in front of the courthouse in case the verdict is reached, and the attorneys want to have a news conference.

Mr Depp said the top of his finger was severed when Ms Heard threw a vodka bottle at him in 2015. Ms Heard's lawyers told the jury that Mr Depp's libel claim must fail if Ms Heard suffered even a single incident of abuse. Because Mr Depp is a public figure, Ms Heard can only be found guilty of defamation if the jury decides that she acted with “actual malice", meaning that: Mr Depp filed a $US50 million ($70 million) defamation suit against Ms Heard, alleging that the op-ed she wrote damaged his reputation and career. The article did not mention Mr Depp by name but his lawyer told jurors it was clear that Ms Heard was referring to him. At the centre of the legal case is a December 2018 opinion piece by Ms Heard in The Washington Post, in which she made a statement about domestic abuse.

Ms Heard is countersuing Mr Depp for $100 million, accusing the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star of defaming her. The seven-member jury is currently deliberating on the case. Mr Depp is suing Ms Heard in Virginia's Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post, describing herself as victim of domestic abuse.

A jury finished a second day of deliberations Tuesday without reaching a verdict in the defamation claims of Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard.

During his testimony, Depp testified that he never struck Heard, that she concocted the abuse allegations, and that she was the one who physically attacked him, multiple times. Heard testified that Depp physically or sexually assaulted her more than a dozen times. Each accuses the other of destroying their career. The judge told Depp's attorneys in court that she would not entertain the motion because the case is in the hands of the jury now. In their written motion, Depp's attorneys said Heard's lawyer told the jury that its decision in the case would send a message to “every victim of domestic abuse everywhere.” Heard attorney Benjamin Rottenborn told the jury that a ruling against Heard “sends a message that no matter what you do as an abuse victim, you always have to do more.” Jurors then deliberated another seven hours on Tuesday. They are scheduled to resume deliberations Wednesday in Fairfax County Circuit Court.

She said that eventually there were so many coins in the piggy bank that it was too heavy to move and she had to stay. She alleged that Johnny had been on a rampage, that the rampage had resulted in a lot of broken bottles. The loudest theory in the court of public opinion, it appeared, is that she was a manipulative liar and Johnny was railroaded. She said that each act of violence felt like a coin she was depositing into a piggy bank, an investment in their future relationship. That it had to get better because she didn’t see how it could get worse. It meant that domestic violence was messy and nuanced and often contradictory and confusing. I watched part of the trial with my mother, who spent many years as a marital and family therapist and whose clients had encompassed both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. He appeared bewildered by his entire relationship with Heard. “It was rapid fire, an endless parade of insults, and you know, looking at me like I was a fool,” he said, seeming despondent. Gawking and thrilling at celebrities’ dirty laundry is a well-honed spectator sport, but throughout the trial, I kept reading coverage that was tonally a mess: The Daily Beast turned the most incendiary allegations into cheeky bullet points — “The Poop-On-The-Bed Fiasco,” “The Headbutt” — as if detailing a reality-show highlight reel rather than the dissolution of someone’s life and marriage. Watching this trial has felt alternatingly prurient and surreal, the kind of trial in which Marilyn Manson is casually listed as a Thanksgiving dinner guest at one of Johnny Depp’s penthouses. That one of their dogs must have pooped on the bed, because seriously, she said, what 30-something woman would do that? Certainly I knew about it, as would any self-respecting elder millennial weaned on “Edward Scissorhands” and the tabloid magazines of the 1990s.

Though Heard did not mention Depp by name in the op-ed, his lawyers have argued that references to him, and Heard's previous abuse allegations, are clear. Heard ...

"Does it entitle us to say whom we 'believe'? To restate the cherry-picked facts we've glommed on to that have led us, as virtual jurors, to 'just feel it in our bones'?" The trial is not seen as "tragic or pathetic," Lewinsky laments, but "as a pure car wreck: accessible, tawdry, and immediately gratifying." "This legal spectacle would be sad enough if it just impacted the personal lives of Depp, Heard, and their loved ones," she writes. "As we have watched this story unfold, what does our opinion entitle us to?" Though Heard did not mention Depp by name in the op-ed, his lawyers have argued that references to him, and Heard's previous abuse allegations, are clear. Monica Lewinsky has weighed in on Johnny Depp's highly publicized defamation trial against Amber Heard and the social media firestorm surrounding it — and her verdict is a disheartening one.
