A major update coming in for all fans and admirers of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. Their defamation case that had been in trial for quite a long time got over finally a few weeks back. On June 1, the court ruled in favour of Johnny and agreed that Heard indeed defamed him in the 2018 op-ed. Now, as per the latest reports in The Hollywood Reporter, Heard has sought dismissal of the trial verdict and has asked order for a fresh trial. She has also alleged that there is no evidence to support Johnny Depp’s claims and has also raised questions on the jury. Amber Heard’s lawyer has argued that she was unaware of the headline of her 2018 article unless a defamation suit was filed by Depp. Her attorney was quoted by Court House News saying,
“Mr. Depp’s team proceeded solely on defamation by implication theory, abandoning any claims that Ms. Heard’s statements were actually false. Ms. Heard was unaware of the headline of her 2018 article and never even became aware of the headline until Mr. Depp filed the lawsuit against her.”
