Amber Heard says she’s settling Johnny Depp’s defamation suit

Amber Heard announced Monday morning she would settle the defamation case brought by her ex-husband Johnny Depp. Heard announced the decision in an Instagram post.

Depp sued Heard for libel over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”

Following a high-profile trial that exposed the inner workings of their troubled marriage, Heard was ordered to pay $10.35 million. The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in her counter-suit.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
