Johnny Depp wants to put an end to the dispute with Amber Heard . And for that he would be willing to give up the millions of dollars he won as compensation in the libel suit against his ex-wife . Provided, in fact, that you do not appeal.
"We have to be careful what we say , but from the start what was at stake was his reputation. It was never about the money ," said his attorney (one of many, actually) Ben Chew. "Johnny was able to get his reputation back on track. That was the only thing that mattered to him."

Depp was awarded $ 10.35 million in compensation from the Fairfax Virginia jury for being slandered by Heard in a 2018 Washington Post op -ed that cost him several well-paid roles, but was in turn sentenced to pay his ex-wife two million dollars because his lawyer had called his accusations "a scam".

" Amber is absolutely unable to pay ," said the actress's lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft in the aftermath of the verdict , announcing the appeal accompanied by "a mountain of evidence".

Meanwhile, Depp has remained in England where he is recording an album with his friend and mentor Jeff Beck .
