Amber Heard lost defamation trial, but she received a compensatory $2 million in damages. Heard’s $2 million came from her countersuit against Depp. The jurors rejected two of Heard’s three counterclaims. They concluded she was defamed when Depp’s attorney told media that Heard staged property damage to show to police after alleged fight.
