" Amber Heard slandered Johnny Depp ." This is the sentence handed down by the jury of the court of Fairfax, Virginia , called to give its verdict to the trial that for weeks saw the two former spouses and Hollywood stars oppose.

A judicial battle that began after Heard had publicly accused - in the press, in the Washington Post - the ex-husband of domestic and sexual abuse , with the actor who, on the other hand, had then turned to the law to ask for a maxi- $ 50 million in compensation , counter-accusing the ex-spouse of defamation.

Now, after a series of hearings that have led to discussions not only in the US but throughout the world, the sentence has come, which the court would have reached "unanimously".

According to the jury, Heard's j'accusation in the Washington Post was "harmful" for Depp, who, therefore, will get compensation , which should be quantified in 15 million dollars.

In turn, however, Depp will have to pay his ex-wife $ 2 million , as compensation for other accusations against her (that is, of having made up a story to tell the police), which are also judged defamatory.
