Heard wants peace and quiet after a very public trial
In the spring of 2022, Amber Heard and her ex-husband Johnny Depp went up against each other in what was probably one of the most public trials in modern times. Indeed, every minute of the testimonies was relayed on live television, and commented online. The trial was a result of Johnny Depp suing his ex-wife for defamation over accusations of domestic violence. The jury did not find any of them innocent, and they were both found guilty on some charges.
Both Depp and Heard had to pay each other, but they eventually agreed on a settlement to finally move on with their lives. Amber Heard had to pay Johnny Depp $1 million, which he has decided to give to five different charities.
