Actor Amber Heard says that she has made the 'very difficult' decision to settle the multimillion-dollar defamation case brought by her former husband Johnny Depp
"I make this decision having lost faith in the American legal system, where my unprotected testimony served as entertainment and social media fodder," Heard says.
Heard, in a post on Instagram on Monday, did not reveal the terms of the settlement, which comes after a Virginia jury ordered her to pay $10 million to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star. "After a great deal of deliberation I have made a very difficult decision to settle the defamation case," she said.
The jury found Depp and Heard liable for defamation - but sided more strongly with the "Pirates" star following an intense six-week trial riding on bitterly contested allegations of domestic abuse. Heard countersued for $100 million, saying she was defamed by statements made by Depp's lawyer, Adam Waldman, who told the Daily Mail her abuse claims were a "hoax."
