Wednesday’s ruling in this year’s most famous lawsuit was clear: Johnny Depp wins and Amber Heard loses. The jury agreed that her accusations against Depp were not true. Only at one point did the jury prove Amber’s truth, but only if Depp’s lawyer reacted inappropriately to the other party.

“Getting a verdict is one thing, getting money back is a whole other thing,” legal analyst Emily D. Baker responded to the situation People.
Amber won’t even help declare bankruptcy
The day after the verdict, Amber’s lawyer said that Amber could not pay more than ten million dollars. “No, definitely not,” said lawyer Elaine Bredehoft, answering the question of whether Heard was able to pay the amount. In addition, Bredehoft said the actress would appeal against the verdict, according to the website Insider.
In addition, Amber had already paid more than $ 6 million for the lawsuit and legal costs. “It will be up to the parties to agree on the verdict on June 24. I wonder if the lawyers will start negotiating payment. Johnny Depp has previously stated that this court is not about money. If Johnny’s lawyers want to enforce the verdict, a completely separate lawsuit will be initiated, potentially Amber Heard may be seized or otherwise set up to pay the amount,“Legal analyst Baker told People.”
She also added that Amber Heard would not help if she went bankrupt. “It simply came to our notice then. I.e. an intentional element of defamation which must have been proved because they are celebrities, in which case the possibility of bankruptcy is ruled out because it was an intentional act and therefore an intentional tort, ‘ added a legal analyst.
