Amber Heard has paid her ex, the movie star Johnny Depp 1 million dollars (930,000 euros), reports TMZ. Heard had promised that when she settled with Depp in a dragging lawsuit between the two movie stars. This officially closes the case.
Depp divides the money among five charities. According to TMZ this includes organizations that are committed to sick children and clubs that are committed to protecting the climate and endangered ecosystems.
Heard was sued for libel by the movie star over an article in The Washington Post about her experiences with domestic violence. Although the actress did not mention Depp by name in the article, according to the actor, it was very clear that it was about him.
What followed was a weeks-long, controversial process that could be followed via a live stream and was discussed extensively on social media. During the sessions, both movie stars revealed salient details about each other from the time they were still together and living together.
In the end, a jury ruled in Depp’s favor. The actor called most of the stories written about him in recent years “fantastic, gruesomely written fiction”.
Both actors subsequently appealed. In December last year, both parties waived that appeal because they reached a settlement. Heard said the settlement was “no concession.” “Six years ago I wanted to put this behind me (referring to her relationship with Depp that ended in 2016, ed.) And this is the chance to do so, on terms that I can agree with,” she said in a statement.
