Amber Heard settles defamation case against Johnny Deppon December 19, 2022 at 3:25 pm

US actress Amber Heard has settled her defamation case against ex-husband Johnny Depp.

Ms Heard, 36, wrote on Instagram that she had made the “difficult” choice to settle, adding the decision was “not an act of concession”.

She and Mr Depp, 59, faced off in court earlier this year, where jurors heard intimate details of their relationship.

A jury then found Ms Heard had defamed Mr Depp in an article in which she said she was a victim of abuse.

The terms of the settlement are not immediately clear.

The BBC has reached out to Mr Depp’s legal team for comment.
