The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial is considered one of the largest in Hollywood history – at least when it comes to public interest.

A year has now passed since the start.

Sources close to the ex-couple now reveal how the two have fared since then.
Exactly one year ago, the sensational defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard began in the US state of Virginia. On June 1 of last year, the Fairfax County jury returned its verdict and largely found Depp correct. The legal dispute was finally settled at the end of 2022, when the 36-year-old agreed, the sum of one million US dollars as part of a settlement (equivalent to around 915,000 francs) to pay to her ex-husband.
The US magazine “People” has now revealed some unnamed insiders who are said to be close to the ex-spouses, how the stars have fared since the end of the six-week trial. Accordingly, Amber Heard “mightn’t wait to leave the USA with her daughter” following the verdict. Oonagh Paige, the actress’ daughter, turned two earlier this month.
Amber Heard enjoys privacy in Spain
Since then, Heard has been said to live in Spain, where she has more privacy. The process was “more than exhausting” for the 36-year-old, so according to the insider source, she “simply longed for a new start outside the United States”. In addition, Heard is “excited to be back at work and in front of the camera”.
In the meantime, however, nothing has changed in the actress’ feelings regarding the outcome of the defamation process. “She was exhausted and disappointed with the process,” the insider says. Heard had the feeling that she had been “treated badly”.
Johnny Depp is ‘focused on work’
After the outcome of the legal dispute, which was gratifying for him, superstar Johnny Depp first went on tour last year and shared the stage with his good friend, the late guitarist Jeff Beck. Immediately followingwards, the 59-year-old threw himself into the shooting of his new film “Jeanne Du Barry”.
The filming of the historical film was “challenging” for Depp, but at the same time the actor was “excited regarding his comeback,” reveals the anonymous source. The film “Jeanne Du Barry” by French director Maïwenn (46) will open this year’s Cannes Film Festival on May 16, which is “perfect” in the eyes of leading actor Depp.
The former “Pirates of the Caribbean” star is said to have been abroad for the most part since the end of the sensational court case. “Johnny has lived in Europe since the trial. He’s dating but doesn’t have a girlfriend,” the inside source added.
