'Divorce from Johnny Depp' Amber Heard, temporary retirement?
According to the British media Daily Mail on the 4th (local time), Amber Heard left Hollywood and moved to Madrid, Spain.
According to Amber Heard's friends, he quietly moved to Spain in 2021 with his daughter, whom he gave birth to via surrogate. “She is bilingual in Spanish and English and is happy to get her daughter away from all the noise,” the friend said.
Amber Heard sold her home in California in July last year. But it looks like Amber Heard will return to Hollywood for a project when the time is right.
Johnny Depp took issue with the part Amber Heard wrote in a newspaper in December 2018 in which she said she suffered domestic violence, and claimed that Amber Heard had defamed him. The two have been engaged in a six-week legal battle since April.
As a result of the trial, Amber Heard must pay Johnny Depp $10 million in damages (about KRW 12.5 billion) and $5 million in punitive damages (about KRW 6.2 billion). Judge Penny Azkarat reduced the compensation to $350,000 (approximately 400 million won) according to the legal limit. The compensation that Amber Heard must pay to Johnny Depp is $10.35 million (about 13 billion won).
The results of Amber Heard's countersuit against Johnny Depp were also released. The jury ordered Johnny Depp to pay $2 million in damages to Amber Heard. However, Amber Heard declared bankruptcy, saying she could not afford to pay the compensation.
