It will be surprising to see in the coming days how the Hollywood actress Amber Heard would make it possible to pay the defamation amount of the lawsuit against her ex-husband Johnny Depp with her current net worth, which is shown as low as $2.5 million by several reports.

After the six-week trial in Virginia, the jury at the Fairfax County Court gave a verdict in favor of Johnny Depp, which cost Heard a total of US$15 million, out of which $10 million is for compensatory damages and $5 million is for punitive damages. However, the same jury also compensates Amber for an amount of $2 million for abusing her in the trial.

This trial was also called a “Classic Murder-Suicide” by Eric Rose, a crisis management and communication expert in LA.
