  • Amber Heard and Johnny Depp engaged in a widely publicized legal battle over defamation claims from 2018 to 2022, spanning multiple lawsuits in the US and UK.
  • The conflict began after Heard wrote a 2018 op-ed about abuse, which Depp sued her over in 2019 for $50 million, with allegations of abuse made by both sides during their marriage from 2011 to 2016.

  • The case deeply affected both Depp and Heard, with Heard focusing on healing, dedicating time to work that helps her, and her ex-girlfriend hoping public attention now shifts away from conflict toward recovery.
